Re: The child doesn't have to live like that

[(Anonymous)]

NAYRT—because if they take the kid with them, the society they’re fleeing will be destroyed, and while they can’t personally live their perfect life knowing the child has to suffer for it, they also can’t condemn their friends/family/lovers/etc to disease and poverty and the host of societal evils that will result from their freeing the child?

Real world example # 579453201: modern commercial agriculture causes habitat and species destruction on a catastrophic scale. Going back to subsistence agriculture on a species-wide basis would result in the deaths by starvation of the vast majority of humans alive today.

Individual people can fuck off to the wilderness to be subsistence farmers, but there’s no way to scale that up without people dying of starvation.

There’s no way to give up single use plastics without people dying for because alternatives that are both easy to sterilize and easy for disabled people to reuse don’t exist, and a lot of medical tech requires petroleum based plastic. I could go on for ages.

The dilemma faced by the ones who walk away isn’t that they’d be destroying the lives of a bunch of monstrous strangers willing to torture a child with neglect to ensure their comfort and safety. It’s one kid vs. everyone they’ve ever known and all their loved ones.

You give up all plastics and make do with glass containers and fabric shopping bags and then your child’s in the hospital full of plastic tubing. Only they’re not because you’d rather they die than use plastic that destroys the environment to save them.

That’s the dilemma. You can make the choice to take the kid, and you can live with the privation and suffering that would follow for you personally. But for your loved ones?
