> But as so often happens the only disagreement we really have is the level at which aid is given. > Shall we not just give away everything for the greater good until we have nothing left? It's not the disagreement that I find interesting, it's the consistency between the claimed ideology (and the self-righteous, hyper-confident manner in which it is often delivered) preached by The Righteous when it comes to certain parts of COVID, combined with the "That's different/Whataboutism!" card that is played when things are not quite to the liking of these people, or the interesting way in which they calculate "selfishness" with 100% confidence in their correctness, while typically being unable/unwilling to give even a pseudocode explanation of how they calculate it. > It's dishonest to ignore all the aid we give around the world. I am not denying that America is the most generous nation on the planet, it is the self-righteous and hypocritical attitude of many Americans that I think is interesting. > What amount is enough? I think one's walk should match one's talk.
