Very true, but I assume you don’t mean “then why bother at all” right?

And if I’m correct in that assumption, then I figure we can agree that mitigating what you can is still a worthwhile endeavor?

We as in me? Didn’t think I was. Even specified that I didn’t care about the specific “who”.

We as in the royal we? I reckon because the post was making a point about not romanticizing past presidents in the face of our current super awful kiddy diddler and you took offense to the specificity?

Well, it was literally mentioned in the post. Unlike… Kamala and Israel.

And you responded to my comment regarding it with random facts trying to soften how terrible it is, historically speaking.

So if we are talking obsessive behavior… Not sure it’s mine that qualifies.

Lol, omfg, Lemmy is nuts sometimes.

No, I dont think we are better off with the known child rapist Donald Trump. I actually also think it’s quite unlikely that Kamala has raped children or owned slaves.

But I do stand by my claim that child rape and slavery are worse enemies of good than “perfection”. And if your response to that is “child rape is still a relative concept”, then I’m sorry to say you can piss up a rope.

I voted for harm reduction like a sensible person, now can I please be offended over children getting raped or do I need to pass another purity test?

Don’t recall saying that child rape or slavery are unique to anyone, just that they are a worse affront to “good” than “perfection”. I’m against them in all their manifestations. Don’t really care who specifically tbh.

But I’d also go so far as to say that just because “America bad” is trendy, doesn’t mean these child raping slavers are being unfairly targeted. Cuz you know, they did have slaves and diddled kids.

Perhaps, and I didn’t get a philosophy degree so take this with a grain of salt, but slavery and child rape seem to be even greater enemies of good.
