Pro-tip, human beings live in those mud huts, and base their way of life on those shrimps, so for them, it's a big deal.
Way to dismiss human lives as having no value.
- Udik 6y agoI don't mean to dismiss human lives; what I mean is that we used to worry about how to lift people out of poverty, and now instead we ask for global changes so that they can keep living in the same poverty as before. It's an example of focusing on some huge systemic issue and completely forgetting that there are issues that have a much more direct impact- such as lack of jobs, education, access to healthcare, etc.
- fithisux 6y ago"of which all are responsible, and nobody in particular" You are wrong. They are responsible, they just let others do their dirty work to appear like "innocent doves". This is how it always worked. There are no few bad people liing among good ones. There are a few good people living among murderous animals.
