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.
