    I don’t think it’s irrational to be critical of decisions just because there are worse evils. Whataboutisms don’t solve anything, because you basically invalidate any argument with “but rich people have private jets”.

    You can have more of a bearing on your fellow man than you do on corporate untouchables, so if you want to see change, start with the small stuff.

      Do you have a moment to discuss our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?

      No. That is just rampant stupidity. That is the same as a fat person celebrating eating a salad for lunch while still planning on gorging themselves on chocolate for dinner.

      Blaming individual poor person choices IS ALWAYS WRONG in a world with billionares. PERIOD. This is fucking brainless in-fighting because you are too stupid to understand the sheer scale of the world or the rich’s impact on it. Genuinely, a pathetic attitude to have and especially to defend.

        Cool so I should ignore issues around me because someone else out there is doing much worse. I didn’t even mention fighting people over it, I simply believe it’s worth discussing and debating these topics, regardless of its relative impact. Without community and localism, culture will vanish, and culture is how things change.
