Dad. Storyteller. Software guy. Gen-Xer who does have time for any of this shit because there's work to do. Also: every right-wing accusation is a confession.
They literally cannot even model pro-life conservatives as people who genuinely think of abortion as murder. Like, as soon as they try to imagine being a person who genuinely thinks it’s murder, so that they can follow from that position to the obvious policy consequences, their brain like glitches out and they go immediately back to being confused. This is the simplest, most obvious, most straightforward case we’re just simply modeling the other person‘s mind leads immediately to their full suite of policy preferences. And they literally can’t even do it in this case. I’ve watched them glitch out on it like a hundred times during in-person debates. You can almost see on their face how difficult it is for them.
The primary conceit of the modern liberal is the belief in their heart that something like slavery is obviously, transparently morally repugnant and that therefore any people, including those in the past, should be able to see that. The only way to accurately understand the world is to have the courage to say that this is not correct. It’s not at all obvious. I would expect that if you played out human history 10 million times, you’d have slavery in almost every instantiation. This is because it would very clearly not be obvious to early people that slavery is universally wrong. In fact, I think it would be obvious to early people that slavery makes a lot of sense and so you’d have to work very hard over many thousands of years to develop a universal ethics that forbids it. This is not a minor confusion. I think it’s a pretty important aspect of the way modern people conceive of and evaluate history. But you can reject it!
I'm not an "own the libs" guy -- in fact, I am the polar opposite of such people and I especially hate that genre of social media -- but very few things make left wingers madder than pointing out, correctly, that Nazism was a virulently anti-capitalist, pro-socialist movement.
"I do not believe Christ died for our sin....I don't live in a sacrificial culture anymore... When people are like 'I'm just moved by the idea that Jesus died for our sins'- I'm not. I don't even understand the sacrifical system." 'Pastor' of Vinnings Lake Church is too honest.

Todo mundo aqui concorda que isso resolveria boa parte desse debate?
