"authoritarianism" isnt a real thing to begin with, thats where your question fails

mutilating your child's genitals because you couldn't be bothered to inform yourself about it is also abuse

imagine making this argument for literally any other form of abuse. hell, even any other form of mutilation. oh, yeah, i cut off the baby's earlobes because, uhh ... i get cysts in mine sometimes and thats kinda scary. earlobes must be bad.

and yes, im being hostile. we should be hostile toward INFANT GENITAL MUTILATION and those who support it.

mutilating your child's genitals without anesthetic for cosmetic reasons is abuse. if you disagree with that you're fucking wrong.

i would hope people would be "a little extreme" about widespread, normalized infant genital mutilation

you are the weird one for not being upset about it

Abuse is still abuse even if it's normal and even if you don't think it's abuse.

In the UK, it seems like "trotskyist" is used pretty much the same way as "antifa" is here in the US. It's a nebulous concept of some kind of sinister group of bad people who do bad things, and if anything bad happens, well, what do you know, looks like they were to blame.

can we clear one thing up real quick? they did not kill otto warmbier. his parents spread this absurd story about all kinds of brutal torture or whatever, but the doctors consistently said that there was absolutely no evidence of any sort of physical abuse. no abnormal bruising or evidence of broken bones, no damage to teeth, no damage to skin. etc

no one is quite sure exactly what caused his brain injury, but as far as I can tell from the words of the physicians, there is no evidence whatsoever that he was beaten, tortured, or abused in any form.

Do you understand how traumatic it is to grow up in an environment ruled, socially and legally, by religion? It's fucking horrifying. And then to see people who are supposed to be supporting you calling you racist, a chud, an asshole, etc for daring to suggest that religion shouldn't control the life of a non-religious person? That's terrifying too. I'm lashing out because this is truly a terrible, disgusting thing that people here are thoughtlessly supporting.

asking me to follow religious rules is absolutely too much, yes.

ok look i literally do not give a fuck what is offensive to your religion, drawing a picture of some guy is not immoral and anyone who suggests that it is can eat my entire ass

i dont care if you're religious, but that apathy ends the second you start asking me to follow your dumb fucking religion's dumb fucking rules. fuck off

I'd ask the sentient bug man for permission first

Yes but before starting harry potter
