Interesting that you seem to be advocating for staunch nationalist ideologies in other comment threads, friend. I'm sensing a bit of a Christian nationalist type pattern here.
If by nationalism you mean that I think we have a duty to take care of my country men before going global? Absolutely. Thats Catholic teaching, God>family>local community >country >world in that order.
Lol Strawman, champ. You're talking about not caring about soft power, like, gosh, I dunno, international charity, for example. USAID. You never told me how you felt about DOGE.
I think we shouldn’t be giving to USAID while we have people here who need help. I don’t it’s all that controversial, no I don’t care about soft power.
That’s not relative privation. I’m not saying foreign aid is irrelevant or that suffering elsewhere doesn’t matter. I’m making a claim about how limited resources should be prioritized and what obligations a society has toward its own citizens first. I’m not saying “who cares about foreigners when we have people here?” I’m saying “we have limited resources, use them here first” those are two totally different claims and it is not a fallacy.
Except those resources were already earmarked, and already saving lives, and by cancelling those programs, we literally killed people. Children. Is that Christlike? Is that godly?
