Poverty for me means losing access to the medicines that keep me alive, or I would be right there with you. I wish I could just be a hobbit subsistence farmer so bad but I got bills 🥲 So I keep turning the crank until another option becomes viable.

I wasn't really sure whether to post this here as it's not strictly news or politics, but it does cover US history up to the 2020 election so I hope it's close enough, and I think it's interesting enough to warrant discussion. Pretty new to Lemmy so if it's not fit for this channel LMK and I'll take it down.
No it's not. It is unacceptable in all cases. I don't understand how otherwise principled "all humans are humans and deserve rights" people are suddenly a-OK with rape or torture if it's someone they've decided is a "bad person" without realizing they're doing the exact same thing fascists do to justify human rights violations, but it's a pathological problem. If you think it's ok for you (or anyone) to decide who is allowed to have human rights and who isn't, you're an authoritarian in denial and you will fall victim to the next authoritarian leader who agrees with you about who we're allowed to torture.
