Dead kids will never vote for a leftist Marxist communist LGBTQ socialist. Also, some true monsters believe that homosexuality is worse than murder because they don't reproduce, which is kinda like killing if you need it to be. More than one pastor thinks like that.

The problem is, reproduction is a violation of that idea. A truly convenient life would be a "zen" life that ends with you not having offspring, but evolution selects against that. Then there is AI, which can be told "don't be lazy", which it interprets as "take over universe".

Capitalism is the norm, going against it is almost as unthinkable as banning animal farming. There is some reason to it, though - any politician who would try to renationalize anything would have to move mountains, so it's a bit pointless to bring it up as an option.

Only partly true. Many of them hate not against logic, but rather independently of it, just because they were duped into it and peer-pressured. Like that viral story of an old guy who wanted to vote against trans rights, but was "converted" when he actually met trans people.

The problem is, you're doing that here. If you're not willing to babysit the saveable but still evil idiots, you're putting your own comfort over lives of their victims.

Some people do care, because they are willing to expend some extra effort to help shitty people get non-shitty. Making the world a better place necessarily involves interacting with the parts that make the current world evil.

Wasn't Labour burned enough by their failures? Looks like they need to be constantly reminded not to fuck up.

Not really. High IQ correlates with "functional empathy" rather than "empathic concern". Intelligent people are more likely to act kind if they have empathic concern for well being of others, but aren't more likely to have empathic concern.

It's not the dumbest belief out there. Lots of resources are expended on conflating "socialism" with "authoritarianism", so even just moderately stupid people end up believing it. It's a hard myth to dispel because it's not obviously wrong, only wrong once you apply enough logic.

Noticed and appreciating the intentionally de-capitalized "putin". It's such a Slavic gesture.

"We can always tell except when it's your fault, but then it's your fault and a lie and therefore doesn't count." Just like "it's binary, except when there's a DISORDER, but DISORDERS don't count".

The real issue is, is it more weird than raising a warm-blooded animal that spends a ton of kcal and water on thinking and feeling, just to eat parts of said animal?

"It hurts business" Which of course disregards the possibility of some businesses deserving to get hurt.

Have to disagree, plenty of people who deserve scorn, also have genuine "haters". Pick a popular or anti-popular youtuber. They certainly have some hate-watchers, who don't just ignore, but seek out information on their anti-favorite.

There are two kinds of meat eaters: * Coping, fallacious ones that lie to themselves and others * Ones whose logic would also work perfectly well, with no alterations, to defend cannibalism and pedophilia Here we have the latter kind. At least they're honest.

"Least evil" would not be a fallacy, but "lesser of two evils" can suggest forcing a dichotomy and hiding other choices, which would involve fallacies. This is why it's often called a fallacy.

It reminds me how different people actually are. We seem like "one kind", but some people enter rage mode over disagreement, while others just never, ever do that.
