I was making a general observation about the human condition. Like, when there’s an airline incident, there’s an investigation, an NTSB report, and the FAA usually issues a rule change in response. When a driver runs over a pedestrian, it barely makes local news, and even then, the headline is usually about the traffic delay.
Some things we treat like tragedies, but much of the time, we treat human life as basically worthless.
Funny thing: when they started taking airline safety seriously, they looked for a number that was so unthinkably high that it would representa the worth of a human life. They settled on a million dollars because that’s so unmeasurably high. They forgot to account that number for inflation and never bothered to fix that. Now airplanes start falling from the sky again…
Same argument. If you stop treating every death as a tragedy people will stopvaluing life. I agree with your observation, just not the nature of people. If we start caring again that might bring back what we value.
No it isn’t. This one is long overdue in fact, a lot of harm would have been avoided if it happened a decade or two ago. The tragedy is that what I’m pointing out here is the truth, that humanity still has these floaters in the gene pool at all.
Well, cleaning the gene pool is a commonly used explanation for eugenics and ethnic clensing. Surely the lemmings upvoting this are all about that?
Also functionality there is no difference in outcome if you take someone like that and exile or imprison them. So there is an argument to be made that the real problem is people putting those floaters in power in a democracy.
Celebrating the death of somebody you loathed is more in the general direction of mob justice.
Assume that they are probably stupid. And that shouldn’t be a reason to follow stupid peoples idea of how the world should be working even if it pertains to them.
Celebrate that they are out of ways to do evil. Don’t celebrate death, it’s a tragedy every time.
It’s a tragedy every every time.

You imply I am racist, xenophobic and a police/state violence sympathizer for calling the death of any human a tragedy? How does that make any sense?

Live by the sword. They’ve been begging for it for literally decades, don’t whine and cry now that their wish is granted.
