i haven’t been able to reply to anybody for like the past 3 months (most likely bc i haven’t updated my app since elon took over) and it’s been great for not getting into arguments but also i want to reply to oomfs
It is important to resist the commodification of basic human needs. Food, water and healthcare cannot be subordinated to market considerations or geopolitical interests. Access to adequate food is a fundamental human right grounded in the dignity of every person. Meeting this need not only alleviates suffering but also addresses underlying causes of geopolitical instability. Indeed, food security is an essential component of global and integral security. https://t.co/DgkM9RegJ7
@lydiakauppi@constantlydumb@Kittenfish817@pjharpy so you would like to continue to live in a society where things that are just are criminalized and you don’t want to change the law to protect actions that are justified
@lydiakauppi@constantlydumb@Kittenfish817@pjharpy if you want to make an argument that the reaction was wrong bc it wasnt proportionate or whatever thats one thing. youre arguing that its right because its the law. thats fundamentally upholding legalistic basis for morality that has been and is used to abuse the most vulnerable
@constantlydumb@lydiakauppi@Kittenfish817@pjharpy if i’ve just been raped and someone is live-streaming my medical aid and making money off of it and is asked to stop recording and doesn’t and they get the phone knocked out of their hands. is that right or wrong?
@lydiakauppi@constantlydumb@Kittenfish817@pjharpy yes and the law is not always correct do you think it should be legal for slavery to be allowed only if you are incarcerated? bc thats the current law i don’t think thats acceptable and i think we should not use that as a moral default to justify the treatment of incarcerated ppl
@constantlydumb@lydiakauppi@Kittenfish817@pjharpy you clearly dont think that’s fine and i dont think it’s a core principle of a free society to record traumatized victims of terrorist attacks that had just occurred if they ask not to be filmed. i actually think a society can’t be free without human decency and that’s not decent
@constantlydumb@lydiakauppi@Kittenfish817@pjharpy no but lorenz was violating privacy of people who’d just been victimized in a terrorist attack one of whom was partially exposed you could argue that poses a mental danger especially to people who are probably under extreme mental load and had just experienced a traumatic event
@constantlydumb@lydiakauppi@Kittenfish817@pjharpy literally your entire argument has been antichange. a lot of issues could be diminished to oh your just offended why should we have to cater to you. i mean labor rights organizers were just offended if we give them what they want theyll just keep taking and society will collapse
@constantlydumb@lydiakauppi@Kittenfish817@pjharpy they were charged and fined so it seems like your precious legal system was used to hurt someone protecting a terrorism victim. once again the rights framework is not infallible and i’m arguing more for a social norm than a legal one bc i don’t agree with the current legal system
@constantlydumb@lydiakauppi@Kittenfish817@pjharpy we also had the right to own other people as property for a few hundred years so i think that the rights framework isnt infallible and we should work towards a society that actually respects people as people and not only as things that have rights bc some guys wrote it down
