Are they actually??? Jesus Christ, is there no end to their fuckery?
-- C.S. Lewis
lol do you actually believe they're doing this for the good of their victims? 🙄
Do you think fully half of the general population of the United States are downright evil? A bunch of Snidely Whiplashes laughing maniacally as they do things purely to cause suffering?
Of course they think they're doing this for the good of their victims. That's why this is all so pernicious.
Only half? 🤔
Do you think they kill minorities because they want to help them? Do you think they're bigots because they want to help?
Please reconsider. You have fooled yourself into thinking you aren't surrounded by people with monstrous ideology. The truth is, these people want to kill their enemies. That's it. They want people to die from STDs because they believe they deserve it for sinning. That's it.
It's one of those "greater good", "breaking eggs to make an omelette" things.
I think it's you who's fooling yourself. You're dehumanizing your opponents and therefore losing the ability to understand them. Saying "oh, they're just evil" is giving up. And if you believe in democracy it means that you end up in a situation where you end up letting that "evil" win.
You completely misunderstand, I don't think of them as inhuman monsters. History shows us that this is very human! What I want is for them to be rehabilitated and reeducated; deprogram them from their monstrous ideas and beliefs. They're backwards and need help.
I guess my glib comment about Americans being "evil" was in poor taste. I'm certainly not a moralist!
That doesn't change the fact that these people really do want everyone with STDs to become an untouchable caste, and believe that this is basically God's way of punishing sinners and saving the righteous, and also believe that anyone who cavorts with sinners should be damned. If they had their way, people with STDs would have it tattooed on their forheads and genitals. PrEP would be banned because touching the untouchables is banned, getting an STD would be what you deserve for violating God's divine mandate and sinning.
And that definitely doesn't mean you should bend over backwards to accommodate them.
Regressives believe that their preferences are divine law. Therefore, anything that allows you to do something they don't like without shitty, unnecessary consequences is "encouraging immorality."
One step further, and they enjoy coming up with more shitty, unnecessary consequences to aid the "divine plan" of making people miserable if they don't conform.
You can see this across the board - they're make shit illegal, then conflate the natural problems of the behavior with the added problems of the legal system, and pretend they're all unavoidable.
They hate that gay and trans people have any acceptance, because it makes those same people less likely to be depressed and suicidal, which makes it harder for them to lie and say those people are depressed/suicidal because they aren't cis/straight, rather than because they're treated like crap.
