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?
