• The world is an awfull place with bad people doing bad things and good people dying unnessasarilly. U see the way i see the world all people are equal and thus all lives are equal and thus all deaths are equal. Therefore it would logically follow that the thing causing the most death is the primary concern. As of present that would be the 1.8million people dying of the preventable disease tuberculosis every year.

    The whole “slow painfull death by disease is ok as long as it affects me none” is so goddamn tiring.

      my guy, your argument was “both sides bad”. when i pointed out how accepting fascism is really not the slippery slope we should be riding down, your counter argument is tuberculosis? where does that play in your original argument? did trump promise to solve the worlds tuberculosis problem and i somehow missed it?

      yes obviously tuberculosis is bad, so are plethora of other preventable diseases; as is world hunger, lack of clean drinking water, shelter, etc.

      trying to use my words against me would work if your argument made any sense, but at best it boils down to whataboutism, and at worst, smells of burnt toast.

      get some help.

      • I figured you could figure out where it fits in, but don’t worry, I’ll explain it for you. It performs one simple purpose. That being to point out how u dont actually care about things not effecting you as you tried to accuse me of.

        At best u accusing me of not caring about fascism boils down to whataboutism or at worse its a strait up bad faith insult.

          again, another whataboutism argument.

          i should’ve known your bad faith arguments wouldn’t improve as the discussion went on. if you want to have a rational conversation, i’ll be right here.

          until then.

      Find one person who supports tuberculosis. This is an insane argument and honestly complete nonsense.

      There is 100% going to be more deaths under Trump. So by your own argument he is worse.
