I'm obliged to 'care' about psychopaths? Fuck off.
You don't even know them. You're just calling them psychopaths.
So I'm obliged to 'care' about every human being equally just by virtue of the fact that they are the same animal?
The short answer is ...yeah.
Okay.
Let's ask the obvious question: "why?" Why is one person obliged to care about another? It's not obvious that being "the same animal" can create any such duty. What can? What does?
Do Palestinians have an obligation to care for Jews, and the reverse? Do Ukrainians have an obligation to care for Russians, and Russians for Ukrainians?
Christians say that it's the fact that all are "made in the image of God," in the sense of being creatures of God, with a purpose and destiny that belongs solely to Him. They also say that a dedication to the welfare of everyone, even one's sworn enemies, is a duty on that basis.
But if we don't believe any of that, then what creates the alleged obligation?
So I'm obliged to 'care' about every human being equally just by virtue of the fact that they are the same animal?
The short answer is ...yeah.
The short answer is absolutely not!
There are people - if one can call them that - in every group meaning not to be referenced to any ethnicity or nationality, that one can easily qualify as Untermenschen who should be disposed of as organic garbage who have no right to be called human. The solution is to eliminate that detritus and distortion of a homo sapien, cremate it and throw its ashes in the landfill as appropriate to its erstwhile despicable existence.
It's unsanitary and positively dangerous to keep every piece of trash around just because it looks human.

I don't know whether that's sarcasm or not, but as an individual, how am I obliged to care about every human equally? How would these feelings be policed?
But if we don't believe any of that, then what creates the alleged obligation?
In that case, one can say that caring will produce a better understanding and interaction between people. There will be better solutions to problems. Overall, the result will be a better society. Which is mutually beneficial.
One can also argue that there will be potential reciprocity in the future.

It's impossible to care about every human equally, even if they haven't committed any offenses or atrocities. First and foremost, we reserve our care for those we are responsible for, including pets, which doesn't imply we shouldn't care for anyone else. It's a matter of priority. We only have so much care to give; it's not endless.
But there are many who deserve only one thing and that's to be eliminated...as described!
Here's another one. There's people don't merely have a 'different opinion'. Many of them have been videoed tearing down posters of Oct. 7 hostages as well as spewing online lies and vitriol.
''Meher Raza-Estes is an OB/GYN at
@TMHealthSystem
, an affiliate of Cedars-Sinai.
When she’s not treating patients, Meher spreads blood libels of Jews stealing the organs and skins from Palestinians.
'' I often wonder why the world is so obsessed with the Jews.
How could it be that a group that makes up of 0.2% of the population gets 60% of hate crimes?
How is it that a group that has won more Nobel prizes than anyone gets so much hate?
What is the sick obsession?
Here’s my theory.
Imagine a class bully. He constantly bullies this one weak kid. This goes on for years. He beats up this kid. He steals his lunches. He pranks him all the time. Non stop bullying.
One summer the weak kid goes to the gym and gets jacked.
He comes back to school and he’s ripped!
The bully doesn’t know what to do with himself.
But a bully is a bully so he decides that since beating up this kid is no longer an option, he would bully him verbally. And so he does. Non stop ridiculing.
Until one day, the weak kid had enough and he fights back.
After years and years of bullying, the bully gets a taste of his own medicine.
And of course he can’t handle it. He is so used to this kid being weak and just taking it, so now that the kid is fighting back, this bully doesn’t now what to do, so he has to try to come up with a new way of bullying this kid.
The bully is the world. The weak kid used to be the Jewish people.
For thousands of years, Jews were bullied and they just took it. Day after day day, week after week, month after month, year after year, decade after decade, century after century.
And then, in 1948, the Jews come back all jacked. They have their own state, their own army, and all of a sudden, the bully can no longer push the Jews around so they go to another tactic, not physical bullying, diplomatic bullying.
UN resolutions, BDS, international courts, and so on.
But that’s not working for the bully either because Israel isn’t playing their game.
This is driving the bully crazy. They need to figure out a way to bully the Jews.
So, now, instead of bullying Israel since Israel is all jacked, the bullies decide to come after random Jews, synagogues, Jewish institutions, and so on.
Some of these Jews are still acting like the weak kid and taking the abuse.
This is where we are now, in 2024.
So what’s next?
Well, the bully usually ends up a dead beat who makes nothing of himself and the weak kid? The weak bullied kid? Those kids turn into the biggest success stories.
And there you have it, the story of the oldest bullying in the world that somehow, in every generation, shows it ugly face.
Oh, and the Hamas supporters? The people who don’t stand with Israel? They’re the cowards in the playground standing behind the bully cheering him on and encouraging him to continue abusing this kid.
Don’t be a bully. Don’t support a bully. Don’t stand by as the bully does his thing.
''Milwaukee, WI - Sabreen Sarsour, a nurse practitioner, compares Jews to Nazis on social media and denies the murder of Jewish babies in Israel by Hamas terrorists.
She also claims no rapes occur, stating "aint no Muslim Palestinian fighter touching your women."
According to her LinkedIn, Sarsour is a float RN in ambulatory care with
@AdvocateAurora'' .
But if we don't believe any of that, then what creates the alleged obligation?
In that case, one can say that caring will produce a better understanding and interaction between people.
What is the source of the duty to "produce understanding" or "interaction"? Why says we owe it to somebody to do that? And if there's a group of "people" we don't happen to like, what obliges us to include them?
How unsurprising. They certainly have the money to do this. It was obvious from the start anyway. The 'protests' started before Israel had laid a finger on Gaza.
''What many have suspected has now been confirmed by this newspaper and a few courageous Canadians: pro-Palestine — and, increasingly, pro-Hamas — protestors are being paid to protest. To block highways and roads. To intimidate and threaten Jews and non-Jews. To cause chaos.
In years past, anti-Israel protests were typically small, disorganized and ineffective. Not many people came out. Since Oct. 7, when 1,200 Israeli men, women, children and babies were slaughtered, and hundreds taken hostage, the protests have been dramatically different.
Hundreds, sometimes thousands, participate. They’ve got professionally-rendered signs and banners. They’ve got transportation, and food and drink. And they’ve got organizers who wear uniforms and control the crowds.
And who distribute the cash.
This week, this newspaper was alerted to the fact that a Victoria, B.C., organization was distributing thousands of dollars to anti-Israel protestors. The Plenty Collective, as it calls itself, created what it called a “Solidarity Fund” for Victoria-area “folks or groups” to pay for “costs related to supporting or organizing actions in solidarity with Palestine and Palestinian people.”
Said the Plenty Collective: “This fund is to help cover costs incurred when organizing or participating in local actions. This can include, but is not limited to, the costs of lost wages, supplies, items for fundraising, paying speakers, etc.”
Priority was given to Palestinian, Black or Indigenous people. And thousands have been paid out for weeks now — typically close to $20,000 every month. The Plenty Collective did not respond to multiple attempts to seek comment.
Ian Ward, a municipal councillor for Colwood on Vancouver Island — along with local activist Charles Bodi — discovered the pay-a-protestor payment scheme. And he’s seen the effectiveness of the paid-protests up close. Says he: “They are highly organized. I’ve watched them. A van pulls up, and they’ve got flags, signs, and they’ve got organizers from the Plenty Collective wearing orange vests controlling the crowds.”
“And they have control because they are holding the cash for the protestors.”
Much of the money is being generated locally, says Ward, who was the first to break the news that Victoria City Councillor Susan Kim — along with Ontario MPP Sarah Jama — had signed on to a pro-Hamas letter that denied Israeli women and girls were sexually assaulted on Oct. 7. But some of the money, he says, seems to be coming from elsewhere: “We don’t see them being this organized, and this well-funded, without offshore money.”
It’s not just happening in Victoria, B.C. In the U.S., there is now confirmation that anti-Israel — and often anti-Semitic and violent — protestors are getting paid to protest.
A multi-millionaire tech mogul, Neville Roy Singham, has — along with his wife Jodie Evans — been bankrolling pro-Palestinian protests since last year. Their “People’s Forum” has organized multiple anti-Israel protests since Oct. 7 — including a number of efforts designed to “shut down” public and private sector offices. On Nov. 24, they posted on X: “Are you ready to disrupt business as usual? No celebrating in peace while genocide takes place!” ''
