What leads you to believe the needs of you and your daughter are more important than those of Hispanic immigrants or Palestinians? This is peak dehumanization.
Also, yes it really is Biden. He signed off on this shit and put the weight of his administration behind it.
This seems like a very bad faith take on what they said.
They said they are their daughter and more important to themselves. That’s not dehumanization. That’s pretty normal. For most people, they, and their family and friends are more important to themselves than others.
If that’s normal for most people, then I can’t wait until our human race perishes. If lacking so much empathy is normal, then we’re a blight on the earth as well as each other.
No, this is peak human. If someone were to make me choose between my wife dying and someone else’s wife dying in [insert state or country I’ve never been to], someone else’s wife is going to die. If I get those two choices individually, I choose to save both. Where are the Jews who see Netanyahu as the Fascist aggressor with no regard for human life or territorial sovereignty and cast him out for a pacifist leader. Where are the Palestinians who want a joint government and will cast out Hamas? They both exist, but the leadership is out of their control. As individual humans We. Don’t. Get. That. Choice.
That’s the complication of (in this meme) electing a single person who will influence 1000 decisions. No matter how I choose, some of those 1000 will hurt someone. It’s a guarantee. No matter how empathetic I am, I cannot correct a century of political meddling (in Latin America or in the Middle East) no can I correct two thousand years of religious hatred. And those are just two of a hundred active problems.
I Think your meme offers a rational perspective and is excellent satire about people who just want to protect their families from harm. Please don’t call me inhuman for recognizing I cannot meaningfully change political conditions in the world which are the result of centuries of conflict.

Don’t worry most people aren’t like this. That’s just what happens to someone consuming nationalist propaganda in the imperial core their entire life.
Yeah, true. Most people I know aren’t like that. Thank you for responding <3

I offer that nothing will be immediate perfection; stopping funding death and destruction does free up funds and possibilities.
