I might not agree with the pro-choice people who admit they're asking for infanticide, but at least I can respect them.
Shermer and his "a fetus isn't a person" ilk are COWARDS!
I miss the 90's post-modern left. True, their jargon was frequently near-impenetrable, but were uniquely honest once you got past the obscurantism. (indeed, they only obscured BECAUSE they were honest, the modern left doesn't need to obscure because they lie)
"Rationalist" libtards might not like it, but this is what peak Enlightenment looks like.
If you would like to read one of the only honest, self-aware, and principled arguments for abortion instead of pro-choice nonsense, the source is Naomi Wolf's "Our Bodies, Our Souls" which is presently available here: lib.tcu.edu/staff/bellinge…

Absolute best-case scenario is the Ukraine lobby in Canada driving us into the to war with so we become the occupied territory of Russia rather than the Chinese.
Don't misunderstand tho, Chinese Canada, for all its faults, is still better than the Ukrainian shadow rulers preceding it, but I believe we can still do better.
Lest anyone think I'm just meming because it's topical, I want to remind you all that I've been intermittently warning Twitter for years about the Ukraine-Canadian menace.
This wins (as I said it would a while back) bc leftoids can't help themselves but "WELL ACKSHUALLY" at nominally incorrect terminology. Their pendantry and urge to flex on "the stupid party" is even more powerful than their urge to call you a racist. (which would've worked lol)
Seriously, all they had to do was say "CRT is a dog-whistle for the N-word" and they would've won. But that would've denied them the smugness of informing the peasants that "you don't even know what that word means."
This is why they always pull out that old quote from Refo about how he's going to essentially make "CRT" mean "a shorthand for anti-white wackiness." They you to admit you're an ignorant dupe. (which doesn't work bc that's how normiecons already use the term anyway lol)
"Why should Europe have American values?" is the natural question arising from this, but what you must understand is that the lib conception of "American values" is threatened by the mere existence of indifference anywhere in the universe. It's the ⚧ of nationalism.
What makes the lib's "values" threatened by this? Well, unlike the conservative who believes that his country does things best but also that, for example, tribal society is natural for Afghanistan, the lib believes that all his prejudices are the "common sense" default (cont.)
That all "reasonable" people agree with him
That "the science is settled." Etc. So the existence of anyone, anywhere with remotely similar living standards to himself who doesn't "share our values" is an implicit refutation of said values. (cont.)
The great thing about Singer is that he is s 100% correct about the entailments of secular ethics and the only thing the sentimental secularists who believe in human rights can do about him is seethe and cope.
Singer has one act: starting with lazy materialism, ex:
"A pig has X% of average human neural connections and therefore has X% of the rights of average humans,"
and then seamlessly continues with:
"this means the braindead have NO RIGHTS and we should use them as sex toys."
It's the same every time, but it's always gold to see someone like, in our example, the complacent apatheist vegan realize that his ethical axioms have no defence against renting grandma's comatose holes out to incels.
It's a good springboard to correct against a western rw error though: namely that Russia is anti-🏳️🌈 and therefore trad. No. Russia is horrifyingly degenerate, they're just not tolerant of faggοτry bc they know that "🏳️🌈" means "NATO."
Russian government IS better than ours, but only insofar as it the relatively un-ideological rule of a strongman and not the ideological rule of deranged totalitarian perverts. Putin is the Franco of our century and I doubt Russia will fare better after he's gone than 🇪🇸 did.
