This account is purposely taking the most bad faith interpretation of the people who disagree with them.

Or… it’s a reasonable interpretation? Is that so hard to believe? This sounds like some Sam Harris “I’m being smeared!” kind of thing.

When you freely give your sperm to someone you lose the right to determine what happens to it. If you aren’t comfortable with that arrangement you need to be vigilant about your condom usage or get a vasectomy. I’ve been vigilant about my birth control usage because I don’t want children.

Also, this sounds exactly like something rape apologists say… not a good look

Universal healthcare and college are paid with tax money, we’re talking about the income of individuals

I mean… in the US (I’m assuming this is where you are) college and healthcare are paid with the income of individuals right now so… what are you trying to say?

You just made Jordan Peterson talking points lolol. My points are no more MRA talking points than saying “hey maybe we should recognize that de-industrialization has hurt the white working class” is an alt-right talking point. This is some real lib-brain analysis tbh.

So people who respond to tweets leveled at AOC are now AOC sockpuppets? I don’t know who dewot is and your seeming paranoia about sockpuppets is hyper lib tbh.

I’d be careful about the “i’d love to support this, but in our current society” kind of thing. This form of rhetoric is always used to shut down things like medicare for all or cancelling students loans or whatever. We absolutely can have state provide this right now, just like we absolutely can provide things like universal healthcare and education.

Sure I guess, but so is the advice to “not act suspicious” in front of police or “not buy an iphone” if you can’t afford healthcare. I just think it’s important to not fall into a personal responsibility Jordan Peterson framing.

Abortions are not a good thing - they should absolutely be legal and accessible, mind you, but they are not a desirable outcome, but rather a last resort, which can be damaging to the person getting it. I fully support legalized, accessible abortions, because I believe the option should be available and should be administered in a safe and sterile environment and not in a back alley with a coat hanger. But it’s still an unfortunate thing.

Also just wanted to say that this rhetoric reminds me of this: https://citationsneeded.libsyn.com/episode-48-shifting-media-representations-of-abortion-part-i

Careful, conservatives use this argument as a cudgel against the pro-choice position.
