Clearly our lives are just acceptable collateral for people playing what should ostensibly be a very important political game.
Me stating online as someone in the Global North hurts, especially when others scoff at it.
You stating this as someone at risk of being really harmed hurts even more.
I get pushback for saying that I don’t agree with killing innocents. “Yes, but you have no choice.” Well, that’s a shit choice.
I get pushback for saying I do not wish to participate in a system where I am forced to trade the lives of children for my own rights as a queer person, as a feminist, etc. I do not accept that my health and ease are more important than the health and ease of others.Just because people are far away and have a different heritage does not mean I can allow their safety to be reduced so that I may profit.
Fuck this whole system of explicitly regarding the worth of humans based on political convenience. People > politics, people > power, and morality > convenience.
