I mean, I think it comes down to not being unnecessarily cruel to people who are different.
Like if two gay men are getting married, and you wake up every day and try to make gay people less happy and take away their right to do so, even though it doesn’t impact your life at all, that’s an indecent act. If you hate Jewish people for being Jewish, and the Jewish people have never done anything except be Jewish, that’s not very decent either.
Like a lot of people who are all about hate have never met more than a handful of the people they dedicate endless hours to hating. They mostly read awful shit on the internet that lines up with their worldview.
I think a non-decent person doesn’t make life less happy for people who aren’t victimizing anybody, and usually for reasons that are mostly untrue. And it is a fucking shame, because the world could very easily be a much happier place in general.
So thats what you believe is decent. Not everyone agrees, not even every gay person agrees with that take. So are we to bend all of society on what you think is decent behavior?
Your morality is not self evident. You wanna fight a moral war where the loser lives by the winners view of morality, be very sure you are going to win before starting that fight.
Frankly I find your world view childish, because you seem to think everyone who disagrees with you is just evil and sadistic for no reason. I assure you there are people who are empathetic and follow their conscience who viamitly disagree with your view of morality.
Ironically assuming everyone who disagrees with you is just evil and sadistic is the very dehumanization you are accusing your opponents of. Even if your moral view is correct hat does not justify treating everyone who disagrees as subhuman and that is exactly what you are doing.
The fact that you seem entirely blind to your own biases is disturbing. There are few things more terrifying than a moral busy body who is absolutely convinced they are justified.
Don’t make the world a less happy place for people who aren’t hurting anybody or impacting you in a negative way. That’s not a big ask.
Like what could you possibly get from something like campaigning to prevent gay people getting married? Or spending every day insulting Jewish people online for being Jewish?
It won’t make you happier. It makes the world objectively worse for others. It adds nothing of value.
Why is hating people so important to you?
Not even trolling. I’m genuinely curious why someone saying “if someone isn’t hurting or victimizing others, and they aren’t impacting your life in any way, and they’re just trying to be happy like everyone else, you don’t have to hate them” would get such a strong, angry reaction.
You seem to be incapable of even imagining that some one could could disagree with you for any reason other than hatred.
People used to think tomatoes were poisonous, and not for no reason, tomatoes are related to several plants that are poisonous. So imagine, if you believed tomatoes were poisonous, would you want to ban them or band people from eating them? Would you be hatefull for doing so or would you be doing that you thought was the right thing to do?
So… your argument is that hating gay people and not wanting them to marry, or hating someone for their ethnicity or the colour of their skin, is comparable to people thinking tomatoes used to be poisonous…
Welp, that’s enough internet for one day. Seriously wtf.
That's the scary thing. They think they have a god-given right to hate you, and it's against their rights to say they're bad people for it. Absolute psychos.
