    A life that mattered has been snuffed out!

    Yeah not that the WCK aid workers lives didn’t matter and I’m happy if this leads to a ceasefire but this has so deeply illustrated the gulf between how some human lives are valued compared to others. Like I figured globally maybe some lives would be valued a few times as much but not 10,000 times as much. Even in Vietnam there was less than a 100x difference if you want to analyze it between Vietnamese and American lives lost.
