[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They love virtue-signaling as much as their woke counterparts.  They love to stake a flag on the easy part of the moral high ground. They dont have the fortitude to navigate the trickier parts of the terrain.

I am very leftist and I see it on our side too. People are all social justice for the low hanging-fruit but they dont have the integrity when it’s more costly. The US’s own warmongering that contributed to the Ukraine invasion gets ignored because it’s easier to focus on Putin. Our blind support for ethnic cleansing in Palestine is ignored because its easier to focus on how bad anti-Semitism is.

This isn’t a right wing problem. Its a moral failure problem, and Americans of all stripes have it. [/quote]

I partway agree with you, except I think the actual, literal fundamentalism on the right is much stronger. The forced birth movement was built by Catholics who sincerely believe that life is “sacred” from conception. The Catholics have LONG been perfectly fine with repressing & controlling women, with little care for the emotional well being of children. [/quote]

… and if you don’t believe me, read the American Catholic extremist forced-birth advocate Bill Donohue’s statements in defense of the Magdalen Laundries. These guys are FINE with women and children suffering.

And the Indian schools. Those were largely run by the Catholic church and they’re still finding mass graves.

Forced birthers have zero moral high ground. You can’t force the use of someone’s body against their will and caring nothing for the life quality of the woman or the eventual child and claim the high ground. You’re okay with torturing someone. That’s indefensible. [/quote]

I feel like it’s hard for people who haven’t been up close with hardcore orthodox Catholics to understand this: they are FINE with people suffering if they believe its what their rules require. [/quote]

There is a reason conservative Catholics cooperated with the facists during the 1930s and 1940s. If they think they are right, they don't care how much death they cause. Look at Ireland as well as the native schools. It's horrific. [/quote]
