Kev: Zachary Fontes lol. Stop using the word âstraw manâ as a âget out of jail free cardâ for any example I use to try to get you to understand things. Itâs not. The fact that you donât understand more complicated factors of my arguments leads me to have to simplify them for you. Those arenât straw men, just simplifications for your sake.
I donât ânot comprehendâ because you disagreeing with me, but rather the same way as any person hurting themselves is not understandable. I donât understand your âI would endure it till I could move to another countryâ thing either. It doesnât make sense to me that you could make excuses for such injustice. It seems to me like some sort of Stockholm syndrome. I donât think it should be illegal for you to think that way, but I donât understand why you do.
When I say, âyouâ I simply mean, that those overreaching powers wonât always do what YOU want them to do. Youâre saying there should be a federal government that enforces everything YOU think is right. But we have a federal government already that literally doesnât. So isnât it better that at least there is ONE state that does? Or is it all or nothing for you? Isnât it good if the federal government canât step in and say, âYou are not allowed to ban abortionâ? My point is (and you claim this is a straw man, but it is not and Iâll try to make it even simpler for you) You assume this all powerful federal government would always hold the same moral values you do, but we live in a very corrupt world, and those people in power are often the most corrupt of them all. No matter WHAT governmental system there is, they will always make laws that are immoral. I would personally like the ability to get away from those kinds of laws. Ya know, like instead of having to leave a whole country (which you need permission from the federal government to do) you could just leave the state (which you DONâT need permission from the federal government to do).
