Think of the children
Think of the children
“Protect the children” is a popular modern rallying cry. If only.
NSFW for: Potentially challanging your narrative and worldview.
I recently found this article summarising important findings.
Breaking out of ones own bubble is important. And I would like you to remember this the next time you are at a ballot.
If you really think of the children, vote according to reality.
And if you FEEL personally attacked by this article and bash me in the comments, whataboutism away from the subject or bothsides-ing the issue; Thanks for making my point for me and seek help.
You're viewing part of a thread.
You would need police to force people into jail for marrying children or officiating said marriages, and taxes to fund said police
If you believe only the State has a right to force... ;]
In our current system, yes, only the state (and capital) have the right to force
Well... Thats lame :] But does that make it good? Do you really trust law enforcement thaaat much? ACAB? You're not a bootlicker, are you?!
/s But you see what Im doing.
Well… Thats lame :] But does that make it good?
I never said it did.
Do you really trust law enforcement thaaat much?
Of course not. I'm not advocating this, I'm just describing it.
You’re not a bootlicker, are you?!
....sigh.
But you see what Im doing.
No, I really don't.
What you're doing is downplaying the importance of laws in general. You have to tell yourself that laws against child marriage wouldn't really matter, in case you ever end up voting for someone that defends child marriage. You conveniently ignore all the other laws that are enforced reasonably and allow society as we know it to function.
Cops are dicks, but as the film Team America World Police said, "Sometimes dicks fuck assholes."
The issue here is that laws are protecting child marriages ;] Yay, laws! I know what you mean though. I believe some laws are legitimate. However I know that we are beholden to more laws than we know. That as every action becomes more and more regulated it becomes more easy to commit 'crime.' And that 'ignorance of the law is not an excuse for breaking the law.' Seems legit :p
I dont know what you mean to suggest by 'in case I end up voting for someone that defends child marriage.'
