Dont you think it is horrible how people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives (lemmy.world)

Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is "a blow against US / NATO imperialism" completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by that war, the same happening with the palestinian genocide because "Israel is the only working democracy on the middle east", acting like their ideoligies are going to bring back to life all the dead people somehow

Sometimes people's veiws on abortion are dearly held and we can ask only that they not inflict those beliefs on others.

This person, despite their stance on abortion, seems at least fairly progressive on their stance on trans people. Maybe not a gold star of support yes but was coming after them undermining them for the general state of the church in regards to gender minorities ultimately nessisary? This habit of individual members of a faith getting shoved on the back foot having to defend all of Christianity simultaneously for beliefs they don't personally hold is a way to express your distaste of organized religion... But Scapegoating isn't pleasant to be on the receiving end of.
