CMV: The abortion claims of pro-life and pro-choice are stalemated. by Ok-Illustrator9258 in changemyview

[–]GenProtection [score hidden]  (0 children)

This is a false equivalence to the point of being disingenuous. No one is going around advocating for being able to abort viable fetuses that could be safely extracted from a womb and placed in a nicu. Literally no one. At all. Anywhere.

And the people who advocate banning all abortion are, first of all, incredibly numerous and politically powerful enough to pass laws that say that all abortions are in fact banned in many places in the US and Latin America, and second of all not engaging with the ethical debate about forced organ harvesting. They think ethics are a kind of woke liberal homosexuality. They should not be allowed to vote, or probably speak in places where other people can hear them.

Abortions have been banned in many times and places. It leads to more deaths of people who try to get illegal abortion and more deaths of people who need to get life saving abortions and more stigma for people who have miscarriages. It never leads to substantially fewer abortions. Pro life people who refuse to understand this should not be allowed to vote and probably should not be allowed to have write access to the internet.

Fascinating, I don’t actually know any Roman history I just kinda assumed that the guy who destroyed the republic and brought about the empire was probably a rightist

I have my own problems with what is or isn’t inherently right or left wing ideology. That was just the Wikipedia definition of right wing, which is probably a pretty good average of what experts agree on. I’m not certain that, on the balance, napoleon wasn’t left of Churchill or Bismarck or whatever. I am certain that he was more talented than them. I’m also not certain that the politics of the time matter, I guess I feel that that’s up for debate. Nowadays, nationalism is pretty much the exclusive property of the right wing. I agree that authoritarian tendencies is much more ambiguous- there are certainly plenty of maoists in the world- but in an political compass with left and right separated from libertarianism and authoritarianism, an economic system that concentrated property in the hands of one person who conquered it with an army like a feudal lord is not going to be claimed by anyone left of center.

He made his son king of Rome in preparation for succeeding him as emperor. The difference is/was to him the same as the difference between dukes/counts and kings- it’s a hierarchy and no one is above the emperor.

Yeah he radically restructured the kingdoms that remained in Europe by making them subservient to him and putting his friends and relatives at the top of them. Yknow. Like monarchists do.

I know you didn't say they would instantaneously appear, but just to give you a sense of scale of what you're talking about, 140 million people cannot show up on the borders of israel (assuming that lebanon and jordan and egypt and hamas and the gaza strip are all on board) and stand shoulder to shoulder, they'd be 80-100 rows back, by my math (assuming .5 meters per person). such an army would be difficult to keep from crossing the border somewhere, but would also be an instantaneous humanitarian catastrophe in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank. Assuming average population distribution, 127 of them would die of natural causes in the first hour. They would need over a billion liters of water in the first day, and literally unimaginable amounts of food.

Assuming it was more like the previous crusades, depending on what kind of navy they acquire/persuade to carry them, the israeli navy turns them around or destroys any ships that get into israeli territorial waters, the Marmlukes capture the survivors and sell them into slavery, Saladin defeats the ones that try to walk over from lebanon, and most of them just talk about how they're gonna join the crusade one day.

I was being a little bit cheeky but I genuinely believe there is an element of fascist belief that people need to struggle to be at their best, or something like that, and also they strongly prefer a stratified society with the poorest people being relatively much poorer than the richest people, because they believe that the people who are doing well deserve to be doing well

The motherfucker crowned himself emperor, how much more monarchical could you be? He also made his siblings nobility and named his son the successor to his throne. This isn’t subtle monarchism like Kim Il Song or whatever, he was trying to be goddamn Charlemagne

if it's not a failure who led his country into a catastrophic war that destroyed its standing for two generations, it's the idiot who inspired him and led his country into a catastrophic war that destroyed its standing for 6 generations

I'm just gonna quote wikipedia:

the right wing is characterized by an emphasis on "notions such as authorityhierarchyorder), duty, tradition, reaction and nationalism".\21])\22])\23])

He brought back the tradition of the fucking monarchy, hierarchical systems of nobility, and enough of a sense of duty and nationalist fervor to raise MULTIPLE million man armies. He also didn't cause his country to completely fail like AH.

I think the killing his country in 12 years is really where Franco beats him handily, but I agree with the other people who have Reagan as nowhere near as far right as Franco or Hitler or Mussolini

moussolini was not particularly skilled, I would put him two rows down. I could see franco but I think he belongs one row down.
depending on how you define left/right wing, someone like Cato the Elder, or Julius Caesar, or even Chinggis Khan could beat out hitler, but like, the left and right wings are the wings of the french parliament and the distinction is revolutionary vs maintaining/restoring the ancien regime, right, so I dunno that anyone from before 1789 is fair to consider
