Jesus Christ. What a psychopath. You’re talking about dying on a hill when it will be others who die for your belief. Incompetent, lazy, heartless, and brainless.

I don’t think in terms of optics. I don’t care if it seems degrading or feels degrading. My philosophical and moral axioms are more about results, cause and effect, reality, etc.
Go to a homeless shelter. Or try dealing with children. There’s a time and place for uplifting people, but you also have to pay attention to what’s real. Think about the mental state of the person in that point in time. Learn to prioritize. Forcing a stubborn person to take pills is better than childishly clinging to ideas about personal autonomy.
I guess if you have very little life experience, don’t understand people, and haven’t developed a comprehensive, holistic perspective of humanity, then I could see how this would be a dilemma for someone.

Die for their belief? What belief are you talking about
mhague@lemmy.world 9 months ago
Not taking pills, or taking them improperly, can be fatal. OP doesn’t care because they have a personal belief. They said that they would die on that hill, which is a poor choice of words because other people might literally die for their belief.
