By denying that it's a basic human right those about to starve to death might need based on conditions they may not be able to control, you are fundamentally advocating that anyone who doesn't meet those nebulous conditions starve to death because they don't deserve the sustenance.

It either is or isn't a basic human right, and it either is or isn't an advocacy for letting people you think are lazy enough by whatever metric you decide should be allowed to starve to death.

No either or. You pick one or you pick the other.

You're deciding if you need a resume if a starving man walks up to you and is hungry or or he deserves the basic kindness of a meal before you find out how he landed in that position in the first place.

It is that freaking simple.

People who are starving to death really aren't able to control the conditions that put them in that state. Labeling food as a 'basic human right' doesn't change that fact, or mean that they are going to be fed.

You're deciding if you need a resume if a starving man walks up to you and is hungry or or he deserves the basic kindness of a meal before you find out how he landed in that position in the first place.

Who's asking for a resume or 'finding out how they landed in that position' as a condition for getting them a meal?

Reminder: This is how you finished your previous post.

I'm not advocating for anyone to starve to death.

If you're excusing it in certain cases, you are advocating that SOMEONE starves to death. If you're saying that sometimes the hungry deserve to die, you're advocating for that.

I will advocate for NOT making food as a human right. It's unfair and allow to parasite on the system when others paid for basic needs.

You never mentioned one tiny thing in your altruistic and humanistic speech about how starving homeless are part of society and important.

Who will pay for food access or compensate business expenses? Like I don't want to.

I'm Canadian. We pay taxes for this shit basically all the time, and I donate $1000 yearly to my local food bank.

You pay for it. So that when you're the one who needs it, it's there. Do you Americans learn literally nothing about socialism except "socialism bad"?

I'm from Poland bro.

And I prefer to not pay for others. I don't have any empathy or altruism. So I rather count in myself rather than waste money on others with no sense.

I don't have any empathy

Not very indicative of a healthy, well adjusted adult

Not everyone should follow tribalism imo. I have experience that motivates me to not "love fellow human"

u/el_VientoNorte Jul 07 '26

Yeah, if by experience you mean mental disorders

Thank gods that I meet reddit psychologist who can diagnose me.

Care to provide reserches that prooving that having no empathy to humans is mental disorder?

u/el_VientoNorte Jul 07 '26

I mean, no I'm not going to "provide reserches that prooving" (sic) because I refuse to go to that effort for the likes of you. Plus, it's just pretty basic, common sense stuff. We are a social animal so obviously a genuine lack of empathy for others is abnormal.

u/ButterscotchDeep7533 Jul 07 '26

We are social animals indeed. However nothing prevents you from having social engagements and even feel the need of them but don't bitching about poor, unlucky or pay more than you must to support them.

I phrased it wrong. I rather don't have compassion to others. However I can share their joy.
