it still does boil down to selfishness, even if they dont see it that way. at the end of the day, if they thought about it at all, they decided that their desire to procreate is more valuable than the autonomy of the child they would be creating that way . thats just selfish however you look at it
i dont hate people for having kids of course. in the grand scheme of bad things you can do, it’s pretty mild. it’s still on the list of bad things you can do, though
completely 100% irrelevant to everything, because that would never happen.
Taking someone’s trash out for them is not a massive decision about their life the way forcing someone to exist for (ideally) 80 years or so is.
Furthermore, it is an action almost certain not to cause any suffering whatsoever, while the act of creating a child is 100% certain to cause suffering to that child.
I think that it is fundamentally wrong to make a massive decision for another person without any input or consent from them. That is what it is to create a child. You are just deciding for another person that they must now accept the responsibilities of existing for the next 80 years or so, and that comes with the added detail that you’ll make them feel bad about it if they want to opt out at any point before that.
It’s just wrong. Fundamentally, without any context about my own feelings on raising children, it is the morally wrong thing to do to another person. If you want to raise kids, go adopt a kid.
“authoritarianism” isnt a real thing to begin with, thats where your question fails
ok that was actually pretty good lmao
But you’re being hostile to somebody who doesn’t support it.
then why are you supporting it right now? downplaying its severity, going “its not so bad, you guys are overreacting” that shit is supporting it. if you dont support INFANT GENITAL MUTILATION then stop supporting it. you can’t say you don’t support it and then go around supporting it
It’s not that parents couldn’t be bothered to inform themselves.
yes it is
They were given the wrong information.
I’m given wrong information about things all the time, and so are you. Hopefully you don’t just believe the first thing you’re told and refuse to ever look into it, especially if you’re planning to MUTILATE ANOTHER PERSON’S GENITALS.
Though it is factually correct that it’s more hygienic.
no it isnt you fucking genital mutilation advocating goddamn freak. fuck you
mutilating your child’s genitals because you couldn’t be bothered to inform yourself about it is also abuse
imagine making this argument for literally any other form of abuse. hell, even any other form of mutilation. oh, yeah, i cut off the baby’s earlobes because, uhh … i get cysts in mine sometimes and thats kinda scary. earlobes must be bad.
and yes, im being hostile. we should be hostile toward INFANT GENITAL MUTILATION and those who support it.
mutilating your child’s genitals without anesthetic for cosmetic reasons is abuse. if you disagree with that you’re fucking wrong.
ive been playing it because a friend bought it and has library sharing with me
the keanu thing is even worse than i thought. i thought he’d be a one-off character who does his thing, dies, is le epic gamer wholesome 100 or whatever and then he fucks off.
the entire story is literally about him now. i have no idea if the rest of the game is gonna be like this but he has invaded my mind and physically abuses me in my bedroom at night. im not even joking. that’s what the game’s story is at the point im at now.
i would hope people would be “a little extreme” about widespread, normalized infant genital mutilation
you are the weird one for not being upset about it
Abuse is still abuse even if it’s normal and even if you don’t think it’s abuse.
In the UK, it seems like “trotskyist” is used pretty much the same way as “antifa” is here in the US. It’s a nebulous concept of some kind of sinister group of bad people who do bad things, and if anything bad happens, well, what do you know, looks like they were to blame.
I absolutely love this picture btw (the one on the left). It really sells Venus as an alien hellscape. The sky is the color of piss, because it’s made of acid. The ground is an endless plane made of hideous cracked black volcanic dirt. When I look at this picture, I see an environment which is completely hostile to me. I already know how hostile Venus is, so hostile that I could not even set foot on the planet because the atmosphere would crush me. But this picture really makes me feel it.
can we clear one thing up real quick? they did not kill otto warmbier. his parents spread this absurd story about all kinds of brutal torture or whatever, but the doctors consistently said that there was absolutely no evidence of any sort of physical abuse. no abnormal bruising or evidence of broken bones, no damage to teeth, no damage to skin. etc
no one is quite sure exactly what caused his brain injury, but as far as I can tell from the words of the physicians, there is no evidence whatsoever that he was beaten, tortured, or abused in any form.
Not really. They believe 99% of the same things, follow 99% of the same rules, and result in 99% of the same outcomes when they dominate society.
What if you never wear red but, upon being told you’re racist if you wear red on tuesdays, you decide to start wearing red on tuesdays? Does this circularly make you racist?
People don’t like being told not to do harmless things because of other people’s religious or personal beliefs and will often do those things as a result of being told not to do them because, again, they are harmless things that should not be stigmatized. Drawing pictures of any human who has ever lived or will ever live is a harmless activity which should not get you called racist or an asshole. It doesn’t matter if this is just one guy and you could draw any of the other guys who have ever lived, there is no reason not to draw him.
Yes, except christian instead. You realize christianity and islam are almost precisely the same fucking thing, right? Muslims believe in jesus for fucks sake. Pretending they are significantly different in any meaningful way aside from that one happened to be largely the victor over recent history is incredibly ignorant.
its not about whether the request is reasonable, its about whether you’re an asshole or racist or whatever for refusing. and it is very very easy for you to never wear red again in your life, so surely just not wearing red for one day of the week is not that unreasonable?
if not wearing red on tuesdays were a muslim tradition, you absolutely would be calling me out the exact same way for saying i dont intend to follow that tradition
It honestly doesn’t even seem unlikely to me. Like, one of Reddit’s most active power-users was an eccentric and narcissistic rich pedophile, wow, what a surprise. I would’ve assumed they all are.
