Whoever told you that hypocrisy exists on the left only is hugely mistaken. There’s an abundance of it on the right as well. No shortage of that.
Imagine that the same people outraged about any kind of mandates even if they work, even if they are for your own good and the good of all others, because it’s a matter of principle. It’s a matter of autonomy, of human rights, of freedom, of doing what you want. Imagine that these same people have no problem with telling you that telling women what to do with their own bodies is no big deal.
Whenever they are told: ‘but you’re harming others with your freedom?’ They say there is nothing that justifies taking our freedoms from us or giving up on our freedoms for. There will always be a reason that the government will try to claim is strong enough to infringe upon our freedoms and rights. This is a pathway to full blown authoritarianism, dictatorship, or tyranny, whether it’s communism or otherwise. And on that we agree.
My body my choice, even if this could lead to the spread of something that could kill other people. Even if they work, they still won’t do it, because it’s inconvenient, and since they are free to do what they want, because this is their own body, then they simply have the right not to do it, with disregard to the consequences of that action or behavior upon other people. If other people don’t like that, then they should stay away from them. Simple as that. Even if what’s at stake here is other people’s lives. And on that we agree. No excuse for taking away your freedom. No justification for compelling or forcing you to do something with your body against your will or consent. That door if opened can never be closed again. The end game is total absence of all rights and freedoms because the state or government says so.
Whatever happened to libertarianism and the love affair they have with a small government.
Cognitive dissonance at its finest. Love it.
It’s a matter of freedom, even if the shot works and is harmless, they say. And on that we agree.
Still they had no problem with telling a woman what to do or not do with her body, because the Bible says so. Because her behavior impacts other people’s lives.
I just wanted to point out that absence of insane levels of hypocrisy cannot coexist with being religious. They are mutually exclusive.
