You don't get to not have your existence debated, no one else has that privilege.

You don't get to not have your existence debated, no one else has that privilege.
- locopati 3y agoSeriously? That's your response. Who's debating your right to existence? Or do you get to take yours for granted?
- throwawa14223 3y agoYes, seriously. Pick a characteristic and someone out there says it should not exist. I've walked past people with megaphones saying my race should not exist. I've loudly been told my religion should not exist by employers. Having your existence questioned is normal and probably unavoidable whenever humans with different values bump into one another.
- locopati 3y agoAnd because of that are people taking away your health insurance? Are people preventing you from getting necessary medical care?
- throwawa14223 3y agoMoving the goalposts. Dawkins is doing neither of those in the above article.

- locopati 3y agoYou're ignoring specifics by making a dismissive general point. There is a specific thing happening right now that has the goal of eliminating a kind of person by preventing them from existing. That's different than the misogyny of Roe v Wade or the dehumanizing capitalism of job-based health care.

Right wing fringe threaten to attack progressives regardless of their gender. Apparently not liking Israeli government makes one anti-semitic and inclined to reopen the death camps. Don’t be so disingenuous; hate groups and those that marginalize the existence of others are all over. Or stay disingenuous, stare at one burning tree ignoring the rest of the forest on fire.
