When presented with evidence, you shut down. You’ve been conditioned to give this response. If you’re genuinely interested in the truth, I would suggest not to call providing sources “moving the goal post”. Because at the end of the day, this response is exactly how the oligarchs keep you in line.
Every person has motives. Every rational person acts in their own self preservation. Capitalistic Oligarchs, red or blue, will maximize their control for capital. They do it because they must. The electorate votes for things they have been told are good, most will never understand the nuances of what I just said. Perhaps you are different?
That’s not what moving the goal posts mean, but aight, buddy.
You can pretend that your revolution or whatever it is you are trying to push for will be successful,. You can pretend it will save everyone. But you would be choosing to sacrifice the vulnerable. They would feel the effects the hardest. And they would have little say in the matter.
In essence, you’re an accelerationist. Millions or even billions would die and you would be okay with it for a chance to succeed. Personally, I don’t like your odds or your measures. Your outcomes sound great, but I’m not particularly willing to sacrifice others to get what I want. Myself, yes. But not others.
Was I told protecting others was good? That doesn’t seem problematic to me. I’m okay with that. I’m sacrificing some of my morals to protect as many people as I can.
