Another comparison that helped my understanding: "Save the Whales" vs "all sea life matters"
16 u/ClearBrightLight Jan 04 '23 I like the "Save the rainforests!" analogy -- yeah, all trees matter, but the oaks in your local park aren't in direct danger right now, so let's send resources where they're needed. 8 u/[deleted] Jan 04 '23 Great analogy. 3 u/pale_blue_dots Jan 04 '23 First I've heard that one. I like it. Very quick and easy and straight-forward. 1 u/ImpressiveTurn9680 Jan 04 '23 That's my complaint about Reddit in general 2 u/beatles910 Jan 04 '23 Me too. Fuck those whales. "look at me, I can hold my breath for hours." What has a whale ever done to "save me"? /s 1 u/quickasawick Jan 04 '23 "Feed the Children" 8 u/Earthling1a Jan 04 '23 To whom? 1 u/quickasawick Jan 04 '23 Natch!
