> This is the most psychotic take I’ve read on this topic. The opposing position is ironically that of those who inflicted hundreds of millions of deaths, the largest cause of non natural death in fact, on the entire species in the previous century, so you'll excuse me if I take your view with several solar masses of sodium chloride. > you’re willing to inflict that same suffering on an infinite number of people in order to get your way. Exactly the opposite, I'm not willing to inflict any aggression on any number of peaceful people minding their own business, period. > Considering “destruction of the universe” would include a lot of innocent deaths Better dead than enslaved. > You literally advocate for murdering both those that agree with you and those that don’t, as well as yourself, because things aren’t the way you want them to be. I advocate for nothing, I merely do not accept that slavery is a valid institution, and it doesn't matter what you put in the alternative column against it. The alternative of violating the autonomy and integrity of peaceful people doing me no harm is once again, the worst possible outcome. > Let me guess, you’re in your mid teens and recently read The Fountainhead? Over 40, read it a long, long time ago, has nothing to do with my position on live free or die. Slavery is outright unacceptable. If you do not have the right to choose which drugs you must take, you are a slave. It cannot get more simple than that. That has nothing at all to do with the sensibility of taking the drugs in question, it has nothing to do with whether the drugs in question are good or bad. It could be the most obvious choice in the world, and the drugs in question could be a panacea that brings about a world utopia, and the logic of enslaving people would still be utterly unacceptable. The ends do not justify the means. Multiple world changing extremely violent wars were fought over just these issues. Your side always lost. This was not a controversial position for the past half century plus, the fact that it is now should make you very cautious. Although with bloody-handed "for the greater good" communism by another name in such vogue these days, I expect that it won't at all. I'm sorry, I find this conversation extremely depressing and I'm going to leave it at that, you have a nice life. EDIT; for the record, the disgusting strawmen in response to this message do not warrant their own response regardless of how idiotic they are. And I will not be providing one.
