> If it can save 40k lives per year it’s in any case a no-brainer.

Just saying that doesn't absolve you from making an actual argument.

> Ask all the millions of people that have a relative killed by a car if they would care at all.

How motherfucking dare you! My father did die in a car crash when I was a kid. But I also live in a country where totalitarianism actually happened. You should wash your mouth, and then you should sit down and make the argument.

Because to reply to all of it, including

> "If you are Black, gay or any number of other things, are you cool with giving up such control in an openly hostile social climate?"

with

> "If it can save 40k lives per year it’s in any case a no-brainer."

is absolutely not good enough. Would you be okay with that being quoted "out of context" like that (it wouldn't really be, it's the degree of seriousness you decided to muster) like that on billboards with your real name attached to it?
