Basic respect for the life of your fellow human is intrinsic. Nobody should have to earn the right to live, jackass.

When the actions they’ve committed throughout their life has led to the harm of others, there is no intrinsic respect.

People that are able to say stuff like this are exactly why we have the situation we’re having. If you can turn off your empathy for the “bad guys”, all it takes is just misidentifying the “bad guys” once, either by mistake or on purpose or by being manipulated.

Life must be simple without nuance.
K1nsey6@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Nuance is not needed, he caused harm and that’s what he needs to be remembered for

Respect and derision are not the only choices.
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
That’s actually not how respect works at all, what your thinking of is adoration. Respect is lost, if you don’t start with a baseline of respect for everyone, you don’t respect anyone.

Incapable of believing that a critique of one piece of shit implies endorsement of the other piece of shit?
huppakee@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
So if you treat someone with respect you endorse them?

If Trump was choking on a big piece of cheesecake, would you perform the Heimlich maneuver on him if it’d save his life?
If he said thank you and extended his hand, would you shake it?

Despite his many crimes, I am nearly sure Joe Biden has done more to deserve respect than you ever will.

“If Biden deserves so much respect, then why am I still an asshole?”

Biden is a war criminal that prepped the way for Trump to come to power.
If you feel any pitty for him, you should stop NOW.

Genocide is the mother of all crimes. Financing it nullify all the good thing you did. He also supported balkanizing Iraq.
Chozo@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
Yeah and the other guy rapes children. What's the point of comparison in this scenario?
K1nsey6@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
It’s not a fucking contest. They’re both pieces of shit.
mrdown@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Israel rape children with usa diplomatic cover. Trump is also complicit with genocide so yeah i hope both trump and biden suffer
K1nsey6@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Anyone that has an ounce of respect for him based on what he has done throughout his life and the harm he has caused on untold millions of people deserves no respect either.
Azzu@leminal.space 3 weeks ago
It’s not about respect for his actions, it’s about respect for a human being suffering. There is no real point to wish suffering on anyone, other’s suffering never helped anything except satisfy one’s vengeful fantasies/sadism. If someone is hurting others, you make them stop hurting others, but you still give them basic human respect.

You have empathy for Trump’s dementia?
