          you know nothing of loss if that is your baseline

          edit to clarify: if this is your take of the image above, you live a privileged life

            Did you literally just use “there are fates worse than death” as some kind of comeback to someone saying that not being able afford necessities leads to “losing” (death), as a way to argue that a society that allows this should be improved?

            What are you saying? That people not being able to feed and/or house themselves is fine, because there are worse kinds of “loss”?

            What the fuck is point of “one-upmanship” around the baseline of suffering? And how is “people not dying” not a pretty good place to start when it comes to what society should try to achieve?

            That’s not my take on the image above, that’s my response to OP’s comment. But feel free to take that out of context if it helps you sleep at night
