    love to frame "we should vote to redistribute wealth" as inherently undemocratic

    In fact... are any of these undemocratic? Or just anti document worship? Cause as we all know the most democratic rules are the ones that were handed down by aristocrats 250 years ago and are essentially unchangeable by democratic means

      Some of the phrasing is extremely sus. The last one in particular: "to protect the feelings and safety of marginalized groups"

      🎼 One 🎶 Of 🎵 These 🎶 Things 🎵

      🎼 Is 🎶 Not 🎵 Like 🎶 The 🎵 Other 🎶

        Yeah that seemed like obvious manipulation to me as well. If you're going to conflate them both that's already a mistake. To put safety second is obvious de prioritization and most people will then subconsciously think primarily of 'feelings' in that question's context.

        Also, yes. I think that I have more of a right to a pleasant day than some ill-mannered cousinfucker has a right to be a douchebag.

        After the revolution, being disrespectful will get you the gulag.
