@prole @Teon

Unfortunately, one of the conservatives' strategies at play here is they only give "right of conscience" to people with political power over other people.

They aren't giving normal citizens the right to object to anything, they're giving unelected officers the right to torment those beneath them.

And unless you're willing to be as evil to innocent people as they are, you can't fight that war.

In the end what they're destroying here is the rule of law itself.

@SatanicNotMessianic can't say any of that is wrong or unreasonable, but I still do find the expressed intent of the post more misogynistic than the use of the word female in context.

@SatanicNotMessianic @Deceptichum I think that's somewhat fair, but linguistically "female" is an adjective and "women" is a noun. The noun in that sentence is "singer" and female is a classifying adjective.

The original post IS stupid and has sexist overtones, but I don't think they come from word choice.

@Linkerbaan @gardylou The US is perfectly capable of multi-tasking doing unconscionable things.

@protist @K1nsey6 I agree. Biden is not engaging in the behavioral pattern called projecting.

Biden is hypocritical as hell, though, because he hasn't taken a goddamn stand for anything, save for starting new wars to defend an ongoing genocide.

@MicroWave yeah but the supreme court can easily threaten the constitution. That's what 2/3rds of them were appointed to do in the first place.🤷‍♂️

@givesomefucks and, in fact, it is that willingness to betray that is why the right wing controls the democratic party.

@AllonzeeLV I think the basic logic is that if they're as bad as us, they don't make it past their own global environmental catastrophes.

@jhymesba And here's where you show you're not just okay with genocide in some vague "Stop trump" capacity, but a full-on pro-genocide monster yourself.

Slaughtering 10 thousand children, after Hamas killed a bunch of concentration camp guards isn't "self defense".

You're just evil.

@kool_newt so you agree, a vote is an active choice that reflects on you as a human being?

[–] ikanreed@mastodon.social -1 points 11 months ago (3 children)

@kool_newt I really wanted to let this go, but what the fuck is wrong with you that you think "I will not support genocide" is radical?

You toothless amoral cretin. Go back to your servile obsequence to whatever politicians your betters decide for you and leave me alone.
