Today, I had a conversation about all sorts of things. In most instances, my favorite argument came into play: economic data. I oppose Nazis—not simply because they are Nazis, but because their positions simply do not work. All one needs is a basic understanding of accounting. There is absolutely no need to resort to moralizing. The same can be said of the contemporary United States. My conversation partner was astonished that the U.S.—of all places—could be so indifferent to the distinction between right and wrong. After all, people there are usually all too eager to get outraged over injustices.
Let’s take a look at the ledger:
ICE (for the sake of Trump’s publicity) killed three American citizens, not to mention the rotten crops.
Trump’s war with Iran (for his own personal enrichment) cost the lives of seven American soldiers.
Somehow, I keep finding myself thinking back to what they did to Clinton during the Benghazi hearings. And in that case, the question of culpability was far less clear-cut. Can anyone explain this to me? Is it habituation, indifference, or resignation?
