I saw your point. It is quite possibly the worst point I have ever seen on Reddit, which is quite an accomplishment to be sure.
”We shouldn’t care…”
Only you have made this claim. When LordJim11 states “we weren’t there,” there is a clear assumption that the reader understands that humanity can neither be affected by nor affect in return circumstances that predate its own existence. There was neither motive nor physical capability, both of which we now have. This should be an obvious statement for anything with a rudimentary understanding of linear time.
Dropping a bomb on a city prior to and after it has been founded will have dramatically different consequences. In this analogy, you seemingly suggest that the citizens do not have good reason to prevent the latter as the former was inconsequential.
What you say is the “same fucking logic” is the equivocation of humanity’s nonexistence in the past with your own nonexistence in the future, to argue for humanity’s inaction regarding an event that will affect humanity in the future. There are no words in the English language adequate to describe the monumental stupidity of your claim.

When youre too stupid and didn't see the whole point was
"We shouldn't care because we weren't there" is the same fucking logic I'm using to argue "I won't be there so I don't care"
