Sorry, your scenario is too stretched for me to comment on it.
I can only comment regarding their patent system and I 100% agree that the north american patent system is a cancer on the entire world. A massive problem that needs addressing. But as mentioned before, you can worry, and work on more than one problem without invalidating them. But that problem involves much more variables and powerful companies/ people/ countries to be resolved. I won't comment if that is the solution for the problem you present since I think it's more complicated than that. But, again, I think destroying the north american patent system would benefit the whole mankind. I just have no idea how that can be solved without the whole world going against them.
The rest, I guess I can only say that you can't judge which battles people decide to fight, if you agree they are fighting something bad. You fight to demolish their patent system and others fight to end their imperialism. Both fights are valid and everyone except the abusers would benefit from them.
And ur cenario was just as ridiculous.
Im not arguing against gaza im simply making the observation that curing a global disease is somthing we have done before (smallpox, polio, etc). Curing the middle east is somthing we have never succeeded at. The more achievable task is also 50times more impactfull on reducing harm to our speicies (assuming u see all people and therefore all deaths as equall).
I absolutely will judge people on the battles they fight if only when there is a more effective way to acheive what they claim to be fighting for for.
