@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh Do you think marriage has some inherent purpose or something? Marriage has the purpose we give it. Imagine a world where everybody marrys for love only, is marriage still for procreation?

@Correct_Thing @travis4nh No, because those are different things, and we evaluate them differently. Like, what aren’t you getting?

Grown adults will look at this, clench their fists, and GENUINELY get upset at a little pin that stands for nothing but a positive message. We (usually) live for less than 100 years, minuscule in the grand scheme of the universe. Yet, some people will allow their indoctrinated prejudices to dictate how they feel about something as amazing as love. If you are one of these people, before you go into the replies of this post and hit me with a “GAYYYY” or some cringey Homelander gif, I want you to just think about how irrelevant your existence truly is. How irrelevant MY existence is. And then I want you to really consider whether it’s even remotely worth it to uphold views with such unnecessary hatred. Who are you helping? Is that how you want to spend your very limited life? If so, then you are beyond saving, and if you’re religious then you should educate yourself about the actual values of whatever it is that you believe in (which most likely involves spreading peace and love, not hatred). Happy Pride month. I’ll lose followers for this post but I don’t care. If you’re someone who is as gullible as to allow somebody else to control your own views and opinions (since nobody is born homophobic) then I don’t want you following me anyway.

@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh Okay, read this slowly. As you say, the intended purpose of marriage is for procreation, so gay people shouldn't get married because they can't procreate. So, should we not use chainsaws to cut down trees because the intended purpose was for child birth?
English
@Correct_Thing @travis4nh No, because these things are different and we evaluate them in their merits.
I am trying to lead you to water but I cannot make you drink.
English
@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh So does the intended function of a chainsaw matter? Should we stop using it to cut down trees?
English
@Correct_Thing @travis4nh We disagree the intended function doesn’t matter here.

@Nekko_404 I'm looking at a picture of Israel blocking food from entering Palestine
English
@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh The intended function doesn't matter. What matters is the function its used for. Chainsaws original intended function was as a tool in childbirth, but no one uses it for that purpose. Does that matter?
English
@Correct_Thing @travis4nh We don’t agree thats the intended function.

@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh Marriage is a social construct. If we all agreed married didn't exist tomorrow, then it wouldn't exist. It, like words, traditions, and countries, has changed its meaning over time. If we both except that people marry for love, then the function of marriage is also for love.
English
No, you misunderstand. Marriage is a thing in principle, and two men or two women can never, in principle, match it.
The purpose remains. You making it about ‘love,’ which has its own disputes, is missing the point.
But what your issue is, really, is you cannot parse that everything is this. You do not understand the right on ANYTHING.
English
@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh Exactly (on that first one). Today, people get married for love. The purpose of marriage today is a union between two people in love. That's why gay people marry, that's why infertile people marry, that's why people who are never going to have kids marry.
English
@Correct_Thing @travis4nh Likely for love or benefits.
English
@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh No, I'm not asking you if infertile people getting married changes the definition. What I'm asking you is simple, if someone is infertile, why would they get married?
English
@Correct_Thing @travis4nh This was addressed in the video.
The point is about what marriage is, in principle, not litigating upon specifics.

The whole European narrative is crumbling…
The United States: has bigger homes, bigger gas stations, bigger everything, and we love life.
The whole “you will own nothing and be happy” is for suckers. Now it’s being exposed.

DUDE LMAO THIS IS A GAS STATION😭😭😭
English
@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh Okay, why would two infertile people get married if they cannot reproduce?
English
@Correct_Thing @travis4nh You are begging the question; we don’t agree with your conclusion and indeed think your mindset is actively harmful.
We don’t even accept your framing of it as a Right. That has a distinct meaning.
English
@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh - that marriage is a union between two people in love, not a union between two people having children. So, given the modern purpose of marriage, why should gay people not have the right to marry?
English
@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh Maybe that was the original purpose of marriage, but it's clear today that marriage as a social construct is not done purely for procreation. As is mentioned in the video, infertile people get married. Men and women get married and never have kids. It's clear that today-

@EmpireEnjoyer3 @AmericanKaiser3 Still coping about a war lost 80 years ago

@AmericanKaiser3 Air Force and paratroopers could have successfully taken out the UK.
English
They could have won if they didn’t split up Army Groups Center and South on the Eastern Front in 1943 and went all in on Stalingrad with Army Group South and all in on Moscow with Army Group Center and North.
A tactical retreat in North Africa in 43 was also needed to fortify Europe. Italy was the weak link.
Should have finished the battle of London in 1940 and continued to hit RAF airfields as they were on the brink of collapse, then followed through with an invasion before December 1941. America wouldn’t have joined the war and peace talks could have ensued.

@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh So, because gay people have no way to procreate, they should not have the right to marry? That's the point being made here? Just to make sure we're on the same page.

@CultClassicCage Sorry, you can't own a billion-dollar industry

@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh Congratulations, you can think? Go on, then. Explain why someone might be against gay people, if you're so smart.

Right, see, you should take a second and consider your failure here. Your opponents have considered this, and come to other conclusions. Reflect on your own inability to grasp how, even if you disagree.
Most of your enemies can articulate and understand your positions, you know?

@RdHdSteppeson @travis4nh No, I can't really understand why you can't let people do what they want. They aren't hurting anyone. Why do you care if two men are fucking?
English
@Correct_Thing @travis4nh That’s not really the answer. I mean steelman it. Construct an argument.
I think you folks don’t understand the other side. You cannot mentally model them, no empathy.
