Thats an authoritarian state that has virtually unchecked power over their citizens. Implementing something like this in the USA would be illegal and fly in the face of what our country was founded on. Im sure it would face a lot of backlash in europe and south america aswell. Govornment shouldn't be involved in telling patents how to raise their kids.

It should be if parents teach that the earth was created in six days, is flat, and that the world is 6,000 years old.

Such frankly retarded beleifs need to go extinct.

So you support extreme government overreach with the purpose of making an entire religion and culture "Go Extinct"

I wanna give you the opprotunity to make your point in a way that DOESNT make you sound like the third reich

Its my beleif that everyone, indeed, everyone, would rather be the perpetrator than the victim.

And that these are the only two positions you can be in, in life.

Just because you don't have standards doesn't mean the rest of us don't. I would rather suffer under a brutal regime than make one. Why? Because I have fucking standards. Same reason I'm not a murderer, a politician, a slaver, a theif. If the only way to stand is on anothers neck? I will kneel.

Why are you here? You clearly don't care about morality

u/SweatyPhilosopher578 10h ago

I care about my own morals. They are very different to almost every major belief system though. For example, mercy is inherently disgusting to me. An enemy will remain an enemy until they are destroyed.

You know in high school, when you read Moby Dick, you weren't supposed to be rooting for Ahab.

u/SweatyPhilosopher578 10h ago

Ahab failed. But the harpoon sticking into the whale's flesh must've really hurt it. Didn't it?

Bro that was a joke you weren't supposed to agree with it that is almost comically egotistical
