I'm with Hannah Ardent on this, true evil is banal and its ubiqutious.
I'll buy some bullshit coffee and not donate that to MSF, I'd classify that as evil writ large, I have seen evil and its in the mirror each morning.. Spend money.on Spotify or save a life ?
An example, its estimated 600,000 children have died since US Aid was cut and an estimated 22 million deaths by 2030, how many before it's a holocaust? Think about the weight the deaths of 600,000 children (so far) should carry, vs the weight of what it actually carries. Then you need to start to question what evil actually is.
Aside from proeslitization, is the averge person that different to your swastika tattoo'd interaction ?
For example
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shake_Hands_with_the_Devil_%28book%29?wprov=sfla1
Im an atheist, the quote on the inside the cover of Romeo's book ... Paraphrasibg "I know god exisits, because i have looked into the eyes of the devil, sat across from him and shaken his hand"
US aid being cut is the same as a holocaust??? Is the US the only country that can aid these people? Is any form of self sufficiency possible between now and 2030? If aid being cut by the US is a holocaust, every country not picking up where we left off is just as guilty of it. What a ridiculous line of thinking. Not giving aid to people completely unrelated to your country is absolutely not the same as actively engaging in a genocide or ethnic cleasing.
