I think Bobb's point is that you chose to care about foreign nationals even though your government clearly shows that it doesn't care about its own people. It shows where your priority is.

I believe he is also saying that some nations will attack US regardless of whether your military bombs them or not.


It is, perhaps to your surprise, possible to care both about people in your own country and people abroad.

True, but as far as I know, so far in this thread, you haven't demonstrated that you are outraged about your government not giving a shit about its people. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

And, "perhaps to my surprise"? You need to stop being condescending to people. You think I am too stupid to realize it's possible to care about both?

Of course I care about that. It should go without saying.

Thread in 2021 about drone strike hitting unintended targets speaks volumes about op.

Clearly this has never happened before in the history of drone strikes.

That's why I said, "you haven't demonstrated". We have no way of knowing whether you do care about both or not. The only thing we know is whether you have demonstrated that or not.

I think his point is that when Trump did something bad, it was all fire and brimstone with you guys. But when it's your guy, you are all, "Oh well. Sometimes drone strikes kill un-intended people. No biggie".

Wait... So when American Citizens are being treated with Apathy, we should give a shit about Non-Americans... So that we continue to receive Apathy, otherwise we receive Apathy from non-Americans?

Why the fuck should Americans give a shit about Non-Americans when our own government is treating us with Apathy? You believe that non-Americans bother us in the slightest?


Why would the american government care any more about its citizens when the citizens themselves are apathetic towards one another to begin with?

Americans are the embodiment of the "fuck you, got mine" mentality

Citizens aren't obligated to care about one another. The government, on the other hand, is obligated to care about its own people.
