Are you arguing that Israel didn’t booby-trap toys, or that they didn’t kill children?

Because you are right to question the integrity of the news source. I’ve personally never heard of royanews.tv… However, it is pretty well documented that Israel has been killing children.

Even if this story is false, the reality is still horrific. Whether or not Israel booby-traps toys doesn’t change the fact that they’re already killing children.

Occasionally I come across a headline that makes me start crying. This is one of them.

Haha true. Got me pretty good.

Why, only 6 hours ago I upheld the dignity of the mad and the oppressed by speaking up in support of those with personality disorders, in order to counter an attempt to poison the followers of Christ against our Lord on the accusation of personality disorder.

So your response is that your action of love towards the poor, the mad, the sick, the hungry, the abused, and the oppressed… Is writing a comment on Lemmy? 🤣

Is this what you learned from following Jesus’ example? Apathy? Laziness? Indifference? You are pathetic, and you’ve made your god look pathetic.

Stop wanking yourself off on Lemmy, and actually help some people, like you pretend you do.

This sounds like something someone who is going through domestic violence would say. I feel so sorry for you.

Atheists can also love the poor, the mad, the sick, the hungry, the abused, and the oppressed. My particular way of doing this is voting for parties that put forward progressive and social policies (that clothe, feed, and provide healthcare for the poor), and giving blood.

How have you put your love towards those people into action?

Oh thank you also! It is really eye-opening. I have some additional historical context, that I learned in Business school.

Under Fordism, factory work was broken into tiny, repetitive tasks. Instead of one worker building most of a car, one might just bolt on the bumper all day. It made production faster and cheaper, but also made workers’ jobs monotonous and stripped of skill or creativity. It was then easy for each role to be replaced with automation, as technology improved.

I sort of see the same thing happening in general as software replaces parts of certain roles. Unless the role is highly skilled, the work is often commoditised, and reduced in complexity until it can be automated.

The answer I’ve found for this in my own life is to just outpace these roles by learning more. My knowledge is a moat that might protect me for longer. Who knows though.
