If abortion is murder, then masturbation is genocide, a blowjob is cannibalism, using a condom is kidnapping, sperm banks are human trafficking rings, ultrasounds are child pornography, and a miscarriage is (depending on the circumstances) manslaughter or embryonic suicide.

I'm actually blown away at the number of times I've seen this sort of concern trolling and finger wagging comment policing from people like this in the past 48 hours across a number of topics.
Fine. I'll take the hit.
That's not true. You've cherry-picked a person saying something random off the Internet and used it as evidence that people's thinking is monolithic and based on their skin color.
I was raised to believe that's *grotesquely* immoral. You shouldn't say stuff like that.

Critical thinking requires the person to be comfortable with the notion they're as likely to be right as they are to be wrong. Some people refuse to acknowledge they may not know everything and/or what they think they know is wrong.

Masked thugs knocked out a peaceful protester outside the ICE facility in Portland then dragged his unconscious body away on a utility cart. Witnesses screamed, “He is not moving!” Another woman was tackled. This is state violence.

Worth shouting this from the rooftops to the people that seem to think only smart, competent people can successfully carry out a fascist takeover:
Nearly all of history indicates most fascists are not usually very smart or competent.
They’re just ruthless, persistent, and very often charismatic.

I think it’s important to clarify that you don’t have to be “good” at fascism to be fascist, just as you don’t have to be “good” at genocide to be committing genocide.
In fact, most fascists are pretty terrible at both, until circumstances shift to allow them to be “good” at it for a short time.
