people often talk about the tension between moral intuition and rationalist ethical frameworks but i think “money should go to the poorest rather than the proximate” is pretty intuitive to me it always felt right to me beyond argumentation alone

I don't think I deserve charity because I'm proximate. I think I deserve opportunity, and I think I deserve compensation for being deprived of opportunity. Fundamentally I am still valuing productivity and the capacity for it, that's my case. Mosquito net recipients <<<<<<<<<< me

It's basically a perverse cognitive elitism from liberalisms perspective coupled with an even more perverse rejection of the market's right to value or devalue anything for any reason. I don't apologize. I have been tortured by the state.

The proposition the liberal has to argue against me if they are serious is that one's obligations to the poor are greater than one's obligations to those they have injured.
