You Either See Everyone Else As a Human Being Or You Don’t
It’s obviously morally abominable to booby-trap the border with razors. But some people think desperate migrants deserve whatever cruelties we inflict on them.
I don’t see in these comments any compassion or empathy, in fact all I see are excuses for why we don’t need to have compassion or empathy
This basically sums up the entire article, right?
But as I understand it, all the discussion in the article is about Internet comments. People often resort to hyperbole and sensationalism on the Internet, because it's an easy way to get attention, and they can talk tough without actually having to witness the suffering that their views would lead to. The problem is, though, when they vote based on these views, they elect psychopaths who try to live up to what these incels are writing in their parents' basements, which is a stunted adolescents idea of what being "tough" is.
(This is a common anti-immigration talking point, that whatever limits we place on people entering our homes are also justified against people entering the country.)
Except it's illegal to booby trap your home.
As well as morally abominable, of course.
