“All life matters” is a dog whistle whose real meaning is “don’t save those most in danger cuz that ain’t me”.
It’s pulling the life guard over to watch over the kiddy pool when a person is actually at the very moment drowning in the adult pool a few yard over, because you Really don’t mind that he drowns. You might even convince yourself of your righteousness by opining “he should have learned to swim better”
“All life matters” is fatuous platitude malevolently deployed to provide cover for the most contemptible Of moral disgraceS.
