those infants do not exist within the world yet. they are growing and alive, but DO NOT HAVE PERSONHOOD. No, your belief is fundamentally worse. you’re accepting a documented increase in harm towards woman out of your spite and arrogance, or even worse, religious psychosis. infants and fetuses do not have rights until they are born. they are beholden to the person who’s body is actively growing the fetus.
I didn’t say that, I said the policy is bad because it harms poor whites disproportionately, gives racists ammunition to use. My argument is that it’s not effective and we should do something else to face that problem. You make yet another assumption about what I believe in and use it to smear me.
ah yes, that’s what’s wrong with people, totally not ignoring the crimes of the sitting president in order to willingly dive head first into confirmation bias while entirely disregarding how said president is 1. a rapist 2. a pedophile and 3. a fascist if you expect people to be sympathetic to you, then you’re delusional. Would you apply the same bullshit dismissals to people like Nazis? or the Afrikaners during apartheid?
so are you saying, right now, that you don’t? or are you avoiding stating whether you actually do to avoid confirming the critique you’ve been receiving based on holding nearly every view that the current regime is perpetuating? because hey I will sincerely apologize if you actually do not support that rapist and the party enabling him; but as the black eyed peas once said, “I gotta feeling”
ah so you don’t support Trump, but do you still ascribe yourself with the party actively enabling the rise of Trump, the same party actively dismissing his liability as a rapist, and his implication in the Epstein files? the issue are not any of those individual beliefs in isolation, it is the combination and how closely related they are to the current fascist regime in the nation. do you understand that?
you are actively instilling harm on others while refusing to listen to the people who were harmed, based on your insistence that your beliefs are justified and good for others. you do not deserve to be murdered, but you are not a good person lmao. aligning yourself with a rising fascist regime is indeed dangerous though.
I don’t support him, I think he’s part of the Epstein circle and should be brought to justice for his crimes against humanity. However, I don’t think people who do support him deserve death. My mom, for example, voted for him despite hating him (she cried on her way home from voting) because she is very pro life and sees abortion equal to shooting an infant. Given this, even with everything he’s doing that’s morally evil, in her eyes he’s the lesser of 2 evils bc Harris supported abortion
yes, it is common knowledge that members of fascist regimes (and cults, I might add) normally internalize justifications for their beliefs, even if they’re entirely unjustifiable. it’s a form of delusion, which is what is being displayed by the regime. they are deluding people into supporting him, aside from the subset of genuinely hateful people who actually describe themselves as white supremacists, neonazis, Christian nationalists, etc whatever.
Sharing certain beliefs with an individual or party don’t make you aligned with all they stand for, and I still don’t think people deserve death if they’re ignorant. Interestingly enough, the American right seems to be more ideologically diverse than the left (per pew research) which lends more credence to the idea that many trump supporters only support some policies of his, not everything, a lesser of 2 evils thing. Even if they were wrong, being wrong doesn’t deserve death
would you not acknowledge that the Nazis deserved death for their actions? do you acknowledge that the confederates deserved death for their actions ? (Not merely the act of rebellion, but the act of violently fighting to retain slavery) are you genuinely sitting here attempting to weaponize pacifism in defense of fascism?
I understand you mean well but this is so ideologically captured thought. There are rational arguments for pro choice and pro life, pro 2a and pro gun regulations, anti DEI and pro DEI. Categorizing those you disagree with as “actively instilling harm on others while refusing to listen to the people who are being harmed” is narrow minded and doesn’t make sense
“I don’t think Israel should have a military occupation in Gaza” “actually no this is actively harming Israelis and you aren’t listening to them, and you are not a good person just because you think your beliefs are justified and good for others” What makes you a good person then? Only good outcome?
restricting access to abortion case is documented to increase harm towards women. revoking legislation designed to mitigate the impacts of systemic racism, ie the impacts of both slavery and segregation, is documented to increase harm towards marginalized communities (especially black americans) the only partially-defendable view of yours is the pro-2a, which STILL is documented to cause harm without proper regulation.
yes, you are contributing to an increase in violence and harm, and as I stated, you refuse to even consider the words of anyone you’re harming as you insist that you’re entirely justified. at best, you’re selfish and apathetic to what others go through. at worst, you’re a malicious narcissist and fully know exactly the impact of your views, and even hope for that harm to happen.
pro-life means being pro life. solely caring about a fetus, up until it leaves the womb, is not pro life whatsoever. you’re just weaponizing women and fetuses for your own personal gain, without giving a flying fuck that you’re doing so. otherwise you’d be advocating for things that actually help families, instead of criminalizing women who get abortions and doctors who perform them.
I’m applying your logic to another issue. You’re placing yourself in a very logically tricky spot- the beliefs you have must be right, people who say they are harmed by a policy must be right, and if you disagree with your policies you must be not a good person or at least ignorant and wrong. I applied it to the genocide in Gaza to show how supporters of even something as awful as this use the same logic you are using
no you’re not, you’re deflecting by trying to invoke a completely separate topic, while downplaying said topic, as a means of avoiding addressing what my logic was actually discussing: your beliefs, and the impact of your beliefs. is an ongoing “military occupation” (which you oddly decided to frame an active genocide as) the same as one’s personal beliefs and what they advocate for politically? or are you being disingenuous as fuck to avoid acknowledging when you’re wrong?
why would you think anywhere near 50% of this country supports your depraved bullshit? only about 60-70% vote in presidential elections, even less in midterms and local elections, and what do you think those polls are based on? (here’s a hint: voters) you’re more like 30-35% of the country, if that.
you’ve put your own beliefs on display for us all to see, you dumbass. YOU are that person, don’t act as if you give a fuck about any of those fetuses once they’re born into babies. do you advocate for longer maternal leave? do you advocate for comprehensive parental care, including funding for necessities? do you advocate for literally anything else relating to families aside from criminalizing abortion? stop acting like we can’t all tell how much of a joke you ate
you’re not slick. WHY would there be more difficulty for anyone who isn’t white to secure employment, in a country that has violently oppression anyone who is not white for the majority of its lifetime (up until ~60 years ago, and even then, we still perform said oppression in other forms)
It sucked, and they didn’t. It was a reprehensible moral evil and no one deserved that treatment. DEI hiring practices prioritize things other than merit and character that people can’t change. It systematically discriminates against the worst off among the majority (ie poor whites) and gives racists ammunition to use against majorities while ignoring the actual systemic problems that create these issues
oh my god you are merely a reprehensible white supremacist. you think “poor whites” are the worst off in our country? you’re fucking deluded, and you probably it, but you don’t give a fuck because you want to secure a bag at the expense of anyone who isn’t white. the more you talk, the more you show how 2 was right in that image you posted.
Of course the subject matter is different, that’s how applying a principle to other things to test the validity of that principle works. I’m making a claim that judging people’s moral worth based on how you feel about their beliefs and what you think are the impacts of their beliefs isn’t a respectable or reasonable practice by showing how, in a severe situation, your method of judgment is perfectly used by genocide supporters.
do you know what ad hominem is? It’s when someone tries to discredit your claim by purely attacking your character. meaning the discrediting is reliant on the disparaging of your character. I can give you an example. if I were to say, “you are wrong because you are dumb”, that is ad hominem. However, if I said, “you are wrong because of x, y, and z. you are dumb”, that is not ad hominem. so, did you not know what ad hominem truly was, or are you just lying for the love of the game?
the issue in your claimed defense is that you cannot test a principle accurately by utilizing it within an apples to oranges comparison. I’m not judging your beliefs based on how I feel, I’m judging your beliefs based on the documented physical harm they cause. you need to propagandize that and are incapable of acknowledging that though, and thus you go on this deflective charade to avoid the actual content of my critiques. You are not slick, and you’re not as smart as you think you are lmfao
yeah, you’re just a white supremacist who thinks that white people are somehow the most oppressed in a nation that is inherently white supremacist, one that was founded directly in white supremacy. you’re absolutely a fascist, whether you support Trump or not lmfao. projection is not a good method of defense either.
I literally do? I support all of those things. The only one I have a caveat with is parental necessities, bc I think the government getting involved in that market will produce more expensive lower quality things for parents, so we should support the hundreds of charities that cover parental necessities. Again, you’re making broad sweeping bigoted generalizations based on nothing. You know nothing about me at all dude and you’re completely unable to explain why I am
I’ve already explained, multiple times, beginning with the foundation critique of how anti-abortion beliefs have a direct and documented correlation to an increase in harm towards women. you don’t like to acknowledge that though. and good, I’m happy you support some of the bare minimum. you’re almost there.
Have you never had a political or moral debate outside of social media? This is the norm? You take a principle and apply it all over the place to see how it stands. My claim is your judgment isn’t a rational method to judge people. I apply your method of judgement as it would be used by others. I show that it doesn’t engage with logical reasoning and leads to dangerous conclusions and oversimplified judgements
no, you do not apply it “all over the place”. you test it within reasonable comparisons. I’ve repeatedly told you how your beliefs are *documented* to lead to increases in harm. you created a hypothetical scenario without that same documented correlation, as a means of discrediting the critique I offered you; in addition to deflecting from acknowledging how your views are harmful. you are disingenuous lmao
I’m not sure why you’re ending every message with an insult, if you want to take a break and cool down legitimately like not trying to be an ass that’s cool. Rather than engaging with what I say you make value statements based on nothing concrete, insult me, insult my intelligence, and don’t provide evidence for claims about me, what you think I believe in, and just claim I can’t acknowledge when I’m wrong rather than actually engage. In this case I think my use of ad hominem was slightly
your use of ad hominem was entirely false, not just “slightly inaccurate”, but as for the insults, why do you think? you’re over here spouting off nonsense about being an anti-abortionist who thinks we should revoke the legislation passed to mitigate the impacts of systemic white supremacy, while simultaneously claiming that white people are somehow the worst off group of people in a nation FOUNDED ON WHITE SUPREMACY.
Still not engaging with what I’m saying. Saying “pro life beliefs have a direct correlation towards harm of women” isn’t how you make a moral argument with someone who is pro life bc they believe abortion=killing and infant. Positive correlation towards harm of women is less bad than directly killing millions of infants. There are good arguments on both sides of whether abortion is murder, and someone who thinks it is or isn’t is not just an ignorant bigot. You judge their morality based
you’re an imbecile. that conversation you posted this bullshit in was discussing white supremacy and systemic oppression, and you responded by claiming that the group that has been the oppressor in this nation, is somehow the oppressed. and if you don’t realize how this is problematic, like if you genuinely do not understand what i mean, feel free to DM me and I can explain it to in a calm manner between my classes today.
Dude you are completely missing my argument and attacking a straw man. Suppose someone has some condition where for whatever reason they 100% believe killing dogs is a moral good and is really good for dogs. You aren’t going to attack that person as someone who is evil, you see their intent as good and their understanding as good given their perspective and though you try to stop them from killing dogs you don’t attack their character for wanting the good.
These beliefs that are “documented” to do harm are similar. Suppose we live in another reality where there is no abortion, but there is legalized killing of newborns. Suppose the newborn living has the same effect as the fetus living. People against legalized killing of newborns even if it is correlated with general better wellbeing for women to have access to this aren’t morally evil and shouldn’t be judged based on their perspective
did I claim that you said that? I said you’re targeting the legislation and methods meant to mitigate the damage of white supremacy; the equal opportunity act is one of those methods. The concept of diversity, equity, and inclusion, is part of that. do you have anything better to respond with aside from projection and deflection?
No I’m saying if you believe it’s a human being you’re accepting the unfortunate increase in harm for women over the murder of innocent human beings. My thoughts on this have nothing at all to do with religion (another false assumption). My claim is that because you can reasonably hold several positions on opposing sides of issues, and do so in a way that is focused on wellbeing for all other people and promoting human dignity, you can’t be going around saying those who disagree with u are immo
immoral. I’m pro life. I don’t sit here thinking and treating you like you support the worst genocide in history, which would be abortion by the numbers if I’m correct about it, because I understand there are reasonable positions to take on both sides of the argument. I think you are immoral if you will evil for other people or have bad intent
yeah I know, it’s your arrogance and spite that’s contributing to your beliefs, rather than religious psychosis (hence why I also stated arrogance and spite, dipshit) guess what, it does not matter. legally, they have no personhood until birth, so they have no rights until birth; and additionally, who says the mother isn’t innocent either? notice how you assume innocence only onto the entity incapable of advocating for itself (because it wasn’t fucking born yet)?
I assumed you were talking about that but realized you might not be, which is why I clarified with “that is if that is what you’re saying” immediately after so as to not strawman you. I care about undoing the damage of white supremacy. I think there are other ways to do it that do more good for people and cause less harm for people. I haven’t projected or deflected as far as I can tell, the one time I might have was accidental and I followed it up with a clarification immediately
no, it’s not, you imbecile; stop trying to repackage my own critiques I’ve given you. it is not merely attacking positions that one does not hold, it’s twisting and manipulating a position into an entirely new position, then attacking that new position as a means of claiming that you’ve won the argument.
basically, if I were to claim something, and instead of you addressing that, you rather exaggerated my claim into an entirely new claim, then discredited that new claim while stating that you’re correct or won the argument; that is a strawman argument. do i need to explain any other logical fallacies to you?
Dude oh my gosh read what I’m saying, I said the worst off of the majority dumbass. My whole point is it HARMS THE POOR AND IS NOT EFFECTIVE. I’m all for DEI principles about UNDOING THE HARM OF WHITE SUPREMACY, but yet once again you make a bigoted assumption and decide I’m racist, I’m a white supremacist, etc based on you not comprehending the words that I am saying.
Ok so: You are making a claim about morally judging people for holding certain beliefs that you disagree with that’s you say are documented to cause harm I say you shouldn’t make moral judgments on people who fully believe they’re doing moral good for other people I present an analogy that shows it’s silly to judge people morally for trying to do the best they can for other people
yes, that’s directly strawmanning lmfao. I’m criticizing out of a correlation to increased harm; aka out of inflicting harm upon others. you’re criticizing that claim out of the belief that “you shouldn’t make judgements on people who fully believe they’re doing moral good for other people” that was never my argument, and you know that, but regardless since you insist: the Nazis thought they were morally justified. The confederates as well, the Afrikaners in South African during apartheid;
the list goes on and on. so why the fuck should I not criticize people based solely on their own subjective belief that they may be doing “moral good for others”? why the fuck would such a subjective metric matter, at all? it sounds like you know your beliefs are harmful, but you need to justify them in one way or another for your subconscious; as it seems that changing your beliefs is out of the question. I’m going to class, scream into the void all you want; utter psychopath.
Dude I’m not arguing for pro life arguments I’m saying it’s a reasonable stance to take. Also, as an aside, though I won’t respond to your response bc an abortion argument isn’t what’s im getting at here, moral arguments based on it being legal or not don’t matter, no one says the mother isn’t innocent too, people say that if there are 2 innocents and you either kill one or the other suffers some bodily harm it is more morally impermissible to kill one
You are completely ignoring what I’m saying dude. I know you are criticizing out of a correlation of increased harm. I acknowledged that. “You are making a claim about morally judging people for holding certain beliefs that you disagree with that you say are documented to cause harm” - the documented to cause harm = correlation to harm. Not strawman
hi friend. You can see others have told you about the other stuff you are wrong about. However, since they said your 2a opinions arent inherently wrong, you might be thinking that even in their eyes, you are right. However, you should really look at communal forms of gun ownership such that its not one person owning a gun, but a community of equals owning one. Such as two locks in one cabinet, one per parent. Gun ownership is to me inherently good, but is tainted by everything happening rn
Ah, I see what you mean, and I mean I guess technically, assuming white people still are a majority (I’d have to double check because I’m uncertain), then I can see what you mean regarding “poor whites” if you’re referencing the nature of poverty. in that case, I apologize for hounding you on that specific point as it was my misunderstanding. do you see why I thought it was nefarious though, especially with the mistyped “majorities” referencing marginalized groups, on top of our full convo?
