You do realize this is a satire site, right? Of course abortion and drug overdoses are serious, but that doesn't mean we cannot make fun of it or poke fun at it.
I mean, are they one note? Yes, but their one note is a very true note that leftists are not the smartest bananas of the bunch. I still remember when they doxxed a twitter account for sharing tik toks of leftists acting insane.
The one point I will agree with, but you shouldn't go into satire sites expecting to get better understandings of situations. That's why it's a satire site, and not a news/opinionated site.
Is this really garbage just because they make fun of abortions? Awww man, I guess everything is garbage now since they make fun of things I enjoy. This sucks.
It is obviously satire, but it is absolutely politically motivated satire done poorly. The right can't poke fun without providing solutions and still be taken seriously, which is why they're always shy of majority support and have to create paranoia over immigration and "the great replacement". It is opinionated as its authors are right wing activists producing content for right wing audiences in a bubble of their own design. You can knock on the Onion for being left wing, but they poked fun at both parties a fair bit and sought humor for humor's sake and found more things to mock on the right.
This is all an aside, as yes, it is garbage because they're making fun of abortions from a place of privilege and ignorance. I'll repeat it until I'm blue and then some, nobody uses an abortion as a form of birth control, and it is always a painful experience. Just like you shouldn't poke at car crash victims for humor, you shouldn't make light of those who've had abortions.
Lastly... I wouldn't compare the brainpower of the left versus the right too openly. The leader of the republican party did make light of sexual assault, assault assault, the effects and long term ramifications of a global pandemic, and how injections of disinfectants sounds like a plausible weapon against it... and he still has the party's majority support.
My "insult" was based on a few factors. You seem angry a lot and frustrated with not being in control. I see you putting yourself in this situation where you can react to those feelings. I think you use this place to unload a lot. My "insult" was also based on the fact that you are a woman, who is very much pro-abortion rights--who would more likely than not, be on birth-control. My "insult" wasn't based on your gender. It was based on this package of information and more.
I get that you are probably angry most of the time, and being irrational and spiteful is your way of dealing with it, but have you considered that it is a medical condition? Maybe it's self-induced? Are you on birth control? I don't know for sure, but I heard a curious claim that by being on birth control, your body emulates a feeling akin to constant miscarriage, and is worse than a hypothetical 24/7 menstruation cycle. Can you confirm? Try a diary.
Yeah, this isn't fixing the issue. Sorry chief, but this still confirms that you're a liar and a misogynist shooting for that trigger factor. Might not be enough to earn you any terms violations, but it is pretty ugly behavior all the same. By all means though, keep defending it, I appreciate the dedication to foot in mouth.
Birth-control lending to an experience like constant miscarriage is new information to me. Out of empathy, curiosity, and some irreverence to your attachments, I wanted to see if you considered it or could verify it.
Cool, it is new information to me, too! Probably because it was pulled out of your keister, but what the hey I like throwing in some education whenever possible!
Birth control comes in many different forms, and they all can have widely different ranges of side effects! Often, the most effective methods of birth control come with stronger side effects, and can cause long term health issues or even endanger a woman over a long period of time! As birth control is something that women generally have to manage, it doesn't surprise me that you wouldn't know much about this sort of thing, but it is often a life-long journey of figuring out what treatments work best for people and it isn't uncommon to try many different kinds.
Naturally, as it is impossible to figure out a one size fits all without side effects kind of birth control, success rates can also fluctuate and lessen due to issues beyond reasonable control. It also can wildly alter menstruation cycles, further complicating the issue of family readiness and abortion as a last resort.
Taking on my "insult" as a new drive to be angry about something is more than enough of an answer.
Because you obviously care about the actual side effects of birth control on an individual and aren't just looking for digs at "an angry irrational medicated woman" that disagrees with you.
In regards to the soul, pointing out nephesh (
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephesh) should be eye-opening to people on both sides of the debate. You call it "esoteric", but it is also a core tenet of your primary adversary on the current issue. You could make the argument that it is not esoteric enough. You might be uninterested in it, but your reaction in pro-actively dismissing it makes you seem unreasonable.
Why? Nobody but those invested in the Abrahamic faiths should care for more than a minute about the hebrew etymology of the word. It is literally an ancient religion pulling from even earlier philosophers and faiths (a common occurance with the Abrahamic faiths since they weren't very original) to imagine an answer as to what is life and blindly rubbing up against nothing of significance to anyone outside their doctrine. Bring something other than religion to a social policy topic.
This is an example of pure projection. I didn't know what you are talking about. I made that clear. I know what I am talking about. Care to tell me what my stance on abortion is?
As for me, someone who isn't indoctrinated into the government's mental framework, I work, and pay taxes. My taxes are supposedly used for great things, like government spending that I cannot begin to comprehend. I get promised a lot of things by politicians every election cycle. Those things don't happen. Maybe a lot is happening behind the scenes, but I'm still unsure about this democracy thing you guys keep bringing up.
You literally gloat about being "free of government indoctrination" while being lied to by politicians trying to get elected and yet you're still paying into it. You go on to mention you don't know what is going on behind the scenes, and that you don't feel sure about democracy as a result. You're displaying that you don't want to be researched in government, and you do kinda imply that you're in a place of some level of privilege since you don't seem to have ever needed government aide.
In summary, you aren't involved and judge without experience, just like with abortions. You see yourself as above the systems that are in charge, evident by your certainty that indoctrination has corrupted your would be peers, and you don't want to comprehend why those politicians might be promising so many things and yet aren't getting the ones that catch your interest done. You don't add anything to the discourse but a flimsy philosophy you parrot from the sources you trust, and you have no relevant experience to draw from and thus cannot offer any solutions of worth to those who do have relevant experience. In this topic at the very least, you're utterly worthless for anything but filling pages with copypasta, and trolling just like Val and Bit.
Your government is very much a beast in the world that thrives on genocide, but I believe you call that, "spreading democracy" because it sounds nice. I, too, would prefer the image of "Parks and Recreation".
I never said the government of the country I lived in operates exactly as I'd like it to, nor do I condone the actions abroad that are largely taken. I protest often and will likely continue to do so for quite some time. Y'know, like regarding abortion rights! This being said, you can judge from afar all you like, but I wouldn't judge too harshly considering Japan was an imperialist nation too. All we as individuals can do is try to do better for the future while learning from the past and resisting the errors of the present. All the better if you get involved in the government from within to best utilize its positive aspects! You should consider it, maybe it will help you figure out why the world doesn't live up to your expectations.
That implies a disproportionate (re)action.
If goading more childish behavior seems appropriate to you, it kinda proves the quality of your character for everyone else reading all this.
I concur. Sadly, many people are going to have to suffer in order to correct that flawed decision. The correct course of action is to have Congress legislate the rules surrounding abortion, rather than legislating from the bench. If anything, this failure belongs to the Democrats, who have had 50 years to codify abortion rights the correct way but have failed to do so. Now women across half the country are going to pay the price for their complacency.
The failure of one party to do the job of both parties isn't exactly a fair dig. Republican politicians aren't even in lockstep with their own voters on this topic in particular, and yet not a single one voted to codify these rights while they've also made it more difficult to do so for Democrats and used hypocritical methods to bring things to this point. If anything, this shows how one party is trying to rig the system for a minority while the other struggles to exist while clinging to a status quo and the rules established to maintain it. This adds in to why the rest of the world sees the USA as a backsliding failure of a democracy, both parties might not be very good but one party is exceptionally problematic.
