It’s disgusting. There needs to be legal recognition of all that is at stake for patients and their families. The denial of necessary care is structural violence and should be treated as such by everyone.

Call me cynical, but I have to wonder if this is just a justification for more extensive US military involvement in post-assad Syria.

I think it’s mostly just content theft. On the audience end, viewers who aren’t immediately put off by the reactor and are too lazy to find the original might just watch it. On the reuploader end, there’s basically no effort involved and it can make them some money. Laziness is nothing new.

Or alternatively, ‘no, of course you’re not going to hell, you’ll just be spending time in our heated subterranean accommodations’

Maybe Satan did the math and saw that having warehouses full of low grade condoms would actually result in lower pregnancy and std rates than if he had opted for fewer, more expensive condoms. After all, a barrier is a barrier and quantity is a quality unto itself.

I was primarily saying to have empathy for the non-assholes who are also effected by everything the assholes do, but while we’re at it, you should reserve some empathy for morons. Enough to think about and understand why they are the way they are, but not sympathize with their bigotry and hatred. The inability to think critically is cultivated. Through underfunding schools, through emotional and physical abuse, through brainwashing from childhood in fundamentalism, through lifelong propagandization and the manufacturing of consent, among many other factors.

Thank you, I’d encourage you to continue your comment if you’re still interested. I’m certainly not the best writer and it’s always great to see more genuinely compassionate and progressive takes

If you feel the urge to argue for collective punishment just shut the fuck up. Saying ‘you reap what you sow’ in this case is regressive and cruel. Fascists enacted this law undemocratically and many people, human beings that you should have empathy for, are effectively held captive by the GOP which has heavily gerrymandered Florida and engaged in voter suppression and disenfranchisement. Think critically for a second and direct your criticism at the right people.

How are they going to write an article on this subject and not even mention his (alleged) SA of Eliza Cooney?
