    It’s good too always bear this in mind when asking this question: Sophie’s choice is a thought experiment. Meaning that the perfect conditions where a parent has to choose one child to live based on their personal preference, don’t exist. If both kids are in danger of being hit by a bus, the parent will grab both of them. Or if the parent has only one arm, they will grab the one who’s more in danger, or even get themselves in the way to save both kids.
    In less dramatic circumstances, the parent might choose to give more money to kid 1 because they think they need it more, or because they think they will manage it better. It doesn’t mean they love kid 1 more than kid 2.
    I’m a parent. I have infinite love for both of my kids. Love doesn’t play favourites or get into mind games. I love them differently because they are two different people. Treating them exactly the same would lead to unfairness, because their needs are not exactly the same. That applies to the ‘who do I save?’ scenario too, because invariably, one of them will be in more danger/be more possible to save than the other one in that moment.

    Your comment suggests you’ve taken lessons from Joseph Goebbelz…not because you oppose fascism, but because you’re using the same tactic he perfected: weaponizing emotionally loaded labels to inflame outrage and mobilize people to violence.

    Nope. Using the same tactic as someone doesn’t mean you have the same values as them, or even learned the tactic from them.

    Nazi concentration camps run by the Nazi Party during World War II were instruments of genocide, culminating in industrialized murder at places like Auschwitz.

    ICE detention facilities, whatever criticisms one may have, are civil immigration detention centers…not,z extermination camps. Equating the two erases intent and trivializes the Holocaust.

    Nope. Nazi concentration camps were not extermination camps from the get go. Read a book.

    As Goebbels himself famously argued, if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it…and that is exactly the propaganda playbook you’re running

    Nope. This is way wide of the mark. You seem to think you’ve proved something but you really haven’t.

    What you have done, though, is defended ICE. Why would you do that? Here’s a question for you: what would it take, at a minimum, for you to accept that ICE are a fascist organisation? I think before you answer you might do well to review the definitions of fascism.

    *Pointing out to the members of this internet forum.
    *For the purpose of laughing at the conservative and their strange values.
    *They prefer the picture on the left because it’s more traditional, and they are afraid of the one on the right.
    *No, and I’m assuming they are not present in this thread so telling them they’re desirable was obviously never the point.
    *I think the picture came from social media.
    *Yes we can talk about larger themes, but we needn’t limit ourselves to that.
    *No they aren’t, and no it isn’t. It’s you that’s missing the point.
