“Consider a world where you’d be mocked and shamed publicly for having an abortion. People would have them less and there would be less dead fetuses in the world due to those willing to sacrifice themselves by spending time in a jail cell for their acts of shaming.”

Just wanted to make sure you knew how that sounded, since either political side could try to justify their bad behavior.

Consider a world where a pedophilic cabal of billionaires openly announce that they want to obsolete you. You can voice your complaint in this comment box if you disagree with that hypothetical.

yeah we live in that world innit?

That gives that person the opportunity to go out there in our shared spaces and it gives me the opportunity to disagree with them, share my perspective and oppose them. Maybe someone goes to jail or whatever. But conflict is an important part of society.

Rather that than people living in their own bubbles, thinking everyone agrees with them while sitting on their hands and whining into the void and thinking that counts as progress. Put yourself out there, take a risk, engage with your opposition, you might learn something about them or about yourself.

Conflict is fine and should be tolerated. Breaking someone’s car because you’re part of some environmental doomsday cult or publicly identifying an abortion recipient is not.

I was in a fraternity and some city kids came down our street and busted into a few cars. A few of our brothers were up, woke the house and chased one of the kids down. He ended up in the hospital. People arent going to just call the police. You’re thinking you are nelson Mandela in jail and it’s not going to end up that way.
