It's the other way around.
By "not allowed to exist" I don't mean literally executed in a mass genocide of half the voting population. Using such an interpretation is very bad faith, assuming that's what you're getting at.
I mean not allowed to be visible, to play any part in the public sphere, not allowed to "exist" in the sense of mattering to the structures of power in a country. Being forced to be invisible, forgotten, erased from the written and spoken record. And with that far more rational interpretation you can hopefully see that your views definitely qualify.
- davvolun 6y agoI'm not going to go back and forth with a "yes, it is" "no, it isn't" exchange with you, but "not allowed to exist" is VERY clearly different from "not allowed to be visible" -- the thing that you specifically wrote to clarify what you meant. Using the interpretation of THE THING YOU ACTUALLY WROTE is not "very bad faith" -- IT'S THE THING YOU ACTUALLY WROTE.
