On one hand what’s going on is a travesty, on another we already tried this. It didn’t work. We fucked up by meddling with the middle east in the first place.

I don’t really know there’s a solution for the west at this point, more than just a lesson to learn about minding your own fucking business next time.

How do you fix an oppressive society when half of its citizens seem more than willing to oppress the other half?

What makes you think its not both?

Also the difference, its not conflating if its an actual issue.

Catholic Priests and Republican Senators are statistically a lot more likely to diddle your kids than a transwoman.

That’s why its conflation when they do it. Because they’re making up an issue to take away front he real ones.
