  • Yes, it is compassionate to oppose a war.

    It is not compassionate to support a brutal dictatorship.

    Even if you personally don’t feel one side is human

    Nice strawman you started building, it’s a shame you stopped half way.

    And even if you don’t consider either side human

    Another half attempt at finishing your strawman?

    you know we spend billions

    You’re making a lot of assumptions here.

    keeping South Korea militarized right?

    If only they didn’t have a brutal dictatorship next door.

    We’re still paying

    Wrong.

    It only took you three paragraphs to complete your strawman! Congrats you did it.

    defend western hegemony.

    Cry about it tankie scum.

    Do you have any idea of the history of litigation around cross pollination from GMO crops?

    What happens when a small farmer cross pollinates a larger farm? Do they get sued the same way Monsanto sued farmers for the cross pollination of GMO corn?

    There are many unanswered issues that could arise from allowing golden rice and trusting Western philanthropy, which has been weaponised against developing nations in the past, is a surefire path to costly sabotage.
