Oops, got my wires crossed with who I was talking about. But my point still stands.
You can have any opinion that you want, I haven't said that you couldn't. I was disagreeing with your opinion and expressing my own, you wombat. That's how discussion works.
I bet you think you're taking some sort high road to the effect of "oh I just state the facts, I'm not telling anyone what to think," while conveniently ignoring the part where the way that you report these facts, or which ones you leave out can very much influence the conclusions people reach.
You stated that Alexander killed many people, but also his actions benefitted millions of people. These two things put together in the way that you did will lead an uninformed person to he conclusion that it's fine that he killed people because it benefited many others. And maybe that could be true in some contexts, but you completely failed to mention the fact that he didn't just kill a bunch of people, he executed defeated peoples and sold a whole bunch of people into slavery, which would naturally influence the conclusions a person could come to.
Yes, and? Have you not gotten to the part in your schooling where you look at history to see what can be learnt from it?
So the ends justify the means? Inflicting untold suffering on one group of people is fine if it benefits another one?
You sure you want me down there big boy? This man has teeth ๐๐
Wow, you may not be a vegan, but you're as obnoxious as the worst examples of vegans.
They literally said it pushes those things when not logged in. So when YouTube doesn't know your tastes it pushes things like that.
30 minutes is not nearly long enough to get to anything convoluted.
I think that's nothing compared to all the, y'know, irreparable destruction and pollution we do to the to the planet tbh.
It'll increase demand, which should in theory increase wages for those jobs. A universal basic income is "basic" in the sense that it's the minimum to survive in society. There will still be plenty of people who want more and are therefore willing to do those jobs.
That's often easier said then done
You're missing the point entirely. The person I was originally responding too was saying that evan though awful things were done to people it's fine, or justifiable because "millions" benefited from them. If you don't understand how something like that at its base level can be applicable to modern times, that's a you issue.
It's not the specific actions taken or the setting/environment, but the attitude of the ends justifying the means if there's a net positive.
