Right, sorry, that was quite a reactive response on my side. I'll try to be constructive and foster conversation instead of just resorting to sarcasm: what's your point? are you seriously implying marriage and family are overall negative values?
- bedobi 3y agowords like "marriage" and "family" when wielded like this are effectively clubs and weasel words meant to induce an image of something akin to 50's propaganda posters of the happy american family living out their american dream, and imply that the people pointing out that's problematic are just being cynical nitpicky amoral misanthropes when really it's the people wielding them in this manner who are very selective about what people they mean to include, and very disingenuous about the many people they deliberately do not mean to include (and just their general agenda)
- arkey 3y agoi understand you might perceive bad or hidden intentions, and i agree there's plenty of that around, but in this particular case, for myself, i'm just trying to communicate that i think marriage and family are good values that have been unfortunately very distorted and corrupted, and this having overall negative outcomes for society in general. and definitely, most definitely no need to include or limit this to anything "american" whatsoever.
