That’s fair, I was quite tired when I wrote what I wrote so let me expand on that a little bit.

That is of course true in most situations. I should have clarified this more but primarily when I said “I grew up watching the evening news” I was talking about war on terror coverage.

I’m not pretending that’s not how people work, it absolutely is and that’s the reason this was exploited. But… there’s this kind of… preformative agony to the whole ordeal that, speaking as an American, does feel uniquely American.

Empathizing with the death of people you’re close with is natural. But when, as in Iraq or Afghanistan, they are active participants in why people are dying, and then they’re deaths are used to justify sending more people over there to kill and be killed…

…It kinda just soured me on the whole affair to be honest. And, given the events of last night? It’s something I could easily see happening again. We seem to have dusted off everything else from the Iraq playbook, why not that too?

Anyways, we’re not disagreeing. There was just more to my point that didn’t quite make it into my post.

I’m sorry but I’m just going to disagree with you. As a Misanthropic Anti-Natalist, I proudly hate all humans. If a plane crashes in my state I’m more happy than if it happened in a different state.

I want the USA to burn and fall. I want our fearless leader to die slowly in agony as someone literally eats him in front of him, slowly cutting off parts and cooking it right there in front of our demented orange demon. I will be happy when all humans are extinct.

Giving this planet back to the animals and plants is the only thing I dream of. I wish there was a button to release the biophage and infect the entire Human population with a designer-plague that kills us all and leaves the animals and plants alone.

So no, not everyone gives a fuck whether people dying locally or across the planet makes any difference! Humans are nightmare creatures. Literal monsters!
