I remember this because I called Rupar out on that at the time bsky.app/profile/g3is...
Another bad post for people actually watching the clip. The literal next sentence is him saying "they will be automated" and implying Americans would fix the machines.
This is a bad argument, but it's one that almost nobody is actually responding to. Sigh.

The original clip also said it was talking about automation, the next sentence was “they will be automated”. Rupar intentionally took that out of context.
This is still a stupid argument, but the hypocrisy comes from Rupar’s misleading reporting.

Your kitchen sponge teems with bacteria – should you use a brush instead?
We use them to clean the dishes we eat off, but your kitchen sponge is a damp, crumb-filled environment that is perfect for bacteria to thrive in. Is a washing up brush better?

I took the previous replies point to be the same: utilitarian calculus only applies to “people”, by the definition that “people” are whoever should be considered in moral questions.
If you don’t consider some humans to be “people”, then they don’t count towards the utilitarian calculus.

You may also notice that it is always the (from what I’ve seen) the posts with the white backgrounds that drop words. This is because those are the mock newspaper articles.

Eg “Cabinet in denial about scandal; blames opposition” would also be dropping “is” as a verb, but wouldn’t be unusual as a headline.

Fair point. I think that style is still what they’re going for, including for comedic effect, but this is an unusual example.

Conservatives are, at the end of the day, actual human beings. If someone you knew posted “they’re getting rid of the restaurant I like; society has fallen” it would be immediately clear they were kidding.

Am I the only one that reads this as clearly a joke? The general direction is something he probably believes in but it is written as a comedic exaggeration.
I think it’s a stupid joke, but I don’t feel that’s the criticism others are making.
