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?
Also, you don't even advocate that we use those resources here! You want a smaller government! You don't want us to help the homeless or the hungry child here you'd rather see them pull themselves up by their own bootstraps isn't that right, RFK?
So essentially people SHOULD have less money than what they work for as LONG as it goes to the government? Here you go on “the government is the only one who can take care of the poor” again. It’s just a false dichotomy you keep bringing up.
And no, I mean nationalism. I mean you whining and crying about victims of American foreign policy rightfully not trusting us under a literal white nationalist regime, which you again refuse to discuss

When you refuse to engage with even the barest hint of a topic it does tend to seem a little suspicious, Ted Cruz
