That's a nice general concept. There's lots of shit in the Bible about that. Like that coat off your back shit.Nah, it was retarded, too. Don't you right-wingers think human life is more valuable than possessions? I am pretty sure Jesus said that a bunch of times
But suppose you're some Hmong dude from Vietnam, and you spent your entire life supporting your family, and somehow, after coping with the Viet Cong and escaping, you came to America, the land of opportunity. And after a couple decades of struggle, your business is finally thriving. You can send your kids to college. You might have worked your fingers to the bone and never experienced that American Dream yourself, but maybe now your kids can.
And now there's a bunch of noble Africans about to burn down your business and destroy everything you've worked for, for nothing, in revenge for nothing you had anything to do with. So do you just say okay, my kids don't get to go to college, everything I did is for nothing, I guess I'm just a giant loser?
Are they just "possessions" when you and your offspring depend on those very "possessions" for their most basic needs?
The nonsense that "human life" somehow coincides or is somehow equivalent with some criminal piece of shit burning down someone else's property for no reason at all really sticks in my craw. This has nothing to do with vaccine, it's just a personal pet peeve I have against that particular argument.
