Ok, and there are enclaves of people in support pedophilia and rape and marrying 12 year olds and shit. But when the majority of a population votes in favour of a law against such things, well...fuck em. Sorry. That's democracy and it's the best we got.
I will not support the population control measures I am proposing unless it occurs through democratic agreement.
We already do this for literally all other laws and regulations. Not sure what your issue is.
And I don't suppose you have any meaningful solutions to the climate crisis that can actually be implemented?
how magnanimous of you. as long as 50%+1 of the people favor genocide, you're on board.
i don't like genocide.
Yes. That's democracy. I certainly prefer it to trusting you to be a benevolent dictator. Is there another alternative to decision making I'm not aware of?
i prefer consent and consensus, but i'd also prefer that genocide architects fuck right off, and we see how that goes.
So I an overly simplified world where only 10 people exist. 2 of them support marrying 12 year olds (so...you know, rape). And 8 of them want to ban it.
What do you suggest we do here?
i don't care to engage in your rape fantasies after you went so mask-off about authoritarianism and genocide, thank you.
Copy. You support people being able to marry 12 year olds under the guise of cultural relativism, even despite a majority seeing it for the horror that it is. Whereas I dont. Nothing else to discuss then.
this is as bad faith as it gets.
there's better.
