The fascists and theocrats mantra is, 'empathy is for losers', - only the outcome of their disdain and cruelty towards those humans they consider to be of a lesser order of humanity will be that they are the ones who have lost everything that is of value.

Initially the core idea behind USAID was uplifting those who can't uplift themselves but now it's switching towards being a power control measure no longer geared towards elevating the people Sam. There's so much power in your words my friend. And I am all for it

It can be both and still be effective.

The loss of USAID is bad. Destroying it will kill hundreds of thousands of people around the world. Regardless of why it existed, it saved human lives, and that is a good thing.
