What a brave knight that wants to fight for children, I'm impressed. Can I ask you something? What do you think of people that circumcise little boys or excise little girls, as body mutilations on defenseless kids is by definition child abuse? What do you think of people who send children to wars like you see in Africa or even people that wage wars for reasons that are totally unrelated to children but who still hurt, maim or kill children as casualties of those conflicts? What do you think of America that dropped two atomic bombs purposefully on Japanese civilians killing very intentionally tens of thousands of children? What do you think of capitalism and its inevitable consequences of severe poverty meaning millions of children around the world must live in sub-standard conditions so that a minority of fat westerners can own private jets and capitalize billions of dollars in their bank accounts and other assets? It's very noble to defend children... if you really want to defend them on all fronts. So, do you? |
Lets get one things straight there is nothing noble about defending children is rights. But lets go down the list.
1. I am against all forums of mutulations against children who can not give consent. I am obviously not against surgery on children when neccesary for their health. But circumsations and the body mutulations you talk about are obviously not medical.
2. Sending children to war is despicable and those who order children to partake in wars should be on the wrong side of a rifle and get a third eye.
3. I have repeatedly said that I think the atomic strikes on Japan where despicable. They where a crime against humanity and there is not a single situation where a vaporising a city full of innocent civillians is a fair move. Especially since the concequences of using a nuke affect those physically long after the war has come to an end. In no way the children born mutilated due to radiation deserved that. So I would gladly see that ever country denukes as fast as possible. Practice what you preach Trump.
4. I am not against capitalism since other systems are not superior or prevent unequalism and unfairness. I am strongly against corruption and especially the favt that people can simply but political influence. So that the richest can evade taxes at the expense of the poor.
I am also against the fact that our governments are not willing to transform our financial capitalist system into a sustainable one where harm to the environment gets taxed and create an investment climate in which circulair sustainable production cycles will become the standard. Damage to the environment mainly targets the poorest while largely caused by richt countries.
So I would say our capitalist system should transform from a system that only focuses and rewards profit into a system that focuses and rewards people, planet and profit. So that our governments can create a climate where equal chances for a way bigger group becomes a possibility. By forcing multinationals to stimulate the local economy and area where they are active. Even if they outsource everything. The rich companies and the richest countries should invest in that. Hence the people aspect.
If we seriously decrease our environmental foor print many children in the third world have better access to clean good and water and a chance for moderate happyness. Hence the planet aspect.
Profit stimulates innovation and is not only a bad thing. It only becomes that if we don't look at anything else. So I am not against capitalism per se. I am against holding on to our lineair unsustainable consumption patterns for which many have to pay a hefty price.
This all will mean we as consumers will need to play a lot more for our goods. I am willing to play more for products which come from production cycles which uphold the people, planet and profit values.
