Was violence not the answer in the American Revolution? Was violence not the answer in the French Revolution? In WWI? In WWII? In Normandy? When the people face oppression, asking them to stop never works. If death is going to happen, who should it be?

“Violence isn’t the answer!” Okay then what is? Because we’ve tried everything else. Oppressors don’t listen to reason. They’re incapable of it, all they understand is violence. The answer to violence IS violence. We didn’t start this fire, they did.

“Politics” is tax rates. “Politics” is voter demographic. “Politics” is spending and budgeting. Dehumanization and racism and oppression are NOT politics. Thinking in those ways and encouraging behavior related to those methods of thinking harms citizens first and foremost. Oppression is not politics. Oppression is a blight on civilization and should be dealt with accordingly.

And once again, just as violence begets violence, dehumanization begets dehumanization. We wouldn’t compare you fuckers to nazis if you’d stop doing things that nazis did / would do

Civil Rights, Women’s rights to bodily autonomy, transgender people’s rights to live as themselves, Diversity rights. And no, I’m talking about: Homeless people, Latino people, Hispanic people, Palestinian people. Aborted fetuses don’t have consciousness or senses.

Women don’t have the right to kill unborn children sorry. Not a right, never has been. Transgender ppl have a right to exist, but not force others to accept their ideology or change public life accordingly. So conscious and senses determine moral worth? Got it

Yes. That is literally the distinguishing factor that separates humanity from any other living creature is the capacity to make conscious rational thought.

So if someone is mentally handicapped and can’t read, they are less human?

No, no I was making fun of your reading comprehension. It’s the capacity for conscious rational thought. Not their current presence or lack-thereof of thought.

Again, if someone has less of a capacity for rational thought than you, they are less human or have less moral worth?

Having any. Not a certain amount, any capacity. The mentally handicapped can still reason. When babies are born, they reason. Unborn fetuses do not reason. They do not do anything, they do not think, they do not hunger they do not thirst.

A person in a coma cannot reason. They do hunger and thirst, that’s why they have an umbilical cord😂😂.

They still have the capacity to. They can wake up at any point. When there’s no chance for recovery, that’s when you’re given the option to pull the plug, right?
