It's an objectively bad thing and people who are engaged in it or complicit to it are bad people....I'm wholly against it and them...except when.. [fill in this shitty blank with nonsense of your own choosing]. Some fun examples include;
"my god is involved"
"it's part of a plan"
"it benefits us, somehow, to have it included"
This, exactly.
No. He's saying I'm excusing rape. Which I am not. So no, not "exactly this" at all.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
