  • Ask yourself the question why people “become” tall, small, blonde, blue eyed, have a certain ethnicity, …

    They dont become! They are! (I am mostly gonna use gay as an example but the same applies to all lgbtq+ people in the same way)

    The reason it seems like people “become” gay is because sexuality is something that develops during puberty. The same way tall people don’t get born tall, but grow to be tall. However they never choose to or worked towards being tall.

    If you ever heard something like “XYZ is turning the kids gay!”, its a lie. Differently to being tall, sexuality is something internal, something you feel. And many people are being told that what they feel is wrong. So they believe it is wrong and surpress what they feel. This leads to misserabke lives, depression and often violent/abusive relationships because they are internaky unhappy. If you tell them it is okay to feel what they feel, they are more likely to accept who they are.

    So telling people that it is okay to be lgbtq+ leads to more people being openly lgbtq+. They always were. They didn’t “turn gay”. They just didn’t lie to themselves and surpress it.



  • That unfortunately means you have to shoot a lot of people. Trolley problems are everywhere. They just arent as obvios as pulling a lever. But your political and consumer behaviour are full of trolley problems.

    So you can either pull the trigger and shoot a lot of people, which will make you a murderer, or, if you dont, through your inactions, a lot of other people will have to suffer through hidden trolley problems. Your choice.


  • So do i. Russia escalated by invading. Russia escalated by killing civilians, targeting civilian infrastructure, kidnaping children, attacking nuclear power plants, attacking dams, attacking hospitals, (and many more times). And by using mines.

    That doesn’t change the fact that an escalation of the weapons used by ukraine is an escalation. That’s what that word means! Russia escalated first, and many times after. They are the bad guys.

    Ukraine using mines is an escalation. Arguing against that point simply means you refuse to understand the word “escalation”.
