FDR seems like a very odd example of compassion based leadership. The US was literally killing millions of people under his watch and he setup the Manhattan project which culminated in dropping two atomic bombs. I won't even make a moral judgement on any of that, it just doesn't seem like an example of the a cooperative and peaceful society that you're talking about.
- OneWordSoln 7y agoOnly a fool thinks that America's participation in WWII was unnecessary. ETA: You're full of shit. You are saying that participating in WWII was not an act of compassion. What, are you a holocaust denier? Creating peace in the face of Nazis requires military action, you fool. ETA2: Of course you want to be done. You don't want to admit our participation in WWII was an act of compassion and that force must be used against the evil. Nor do you wish to admit that your entire premise of "all power structures were created by the amoral" is ridiculously illogical and that you have moved the goalposts. It is also compassion to call a fool a fool, especially when they think they're so intelligent. Read up on Dunning & Kruger, my friend.
- malvosenior 7y agoYeah, you can stop calling me a fool. Like I said I'm not making any value judgments. If anything your example disproves your own point. The reality is that humans are not harmonious by nature at scale and the people in charge are always going to be powerful and practical ("amoral" in your terminology). If they weren't, the systems would collapse or be taken over by a competitor who is more effective. Edit: we're done here. You obviously can't have an intelligent and respectful discussion.
