Aborting Baby Hitler...

[Amarok]

A long time ago, I did get stumped by a pro lifer, a teen on top of that. I was at a breakfast with my mom and her friends and their kids. The subject  came up and she faked a gun to my head with her finger, and said, "There I just aborted you". Stupid fucking argument..

I would responded "last I checked were not inside you " And " death is consequence of abortion not it's goal "

She followed it up with, "Well aren't you glad you are here?" I didn't know what I do now, and did not have access to the internet, because it didn't exist back then, and I have to admit, it shut me up for the moment, because she was right, I was happy I was alive.

Would be happy to live in a world were women are essentially just incubators or breeding stock . I sure wouldn't be .

And, naturally, there's the problem of micro-nurture (the Hitler family's shitty lives), and macro-nurture (the extremely anti-semitic culture of the area, the poorly-run nature of the Weimar Republic, and all the other shit I talked about earlier in the thread.)

I get a little sketchy when people talk about the antisemitic culture of Germany. Not long before the Nazis took over, Jews were pretty well liked in Germany. Jews were proud German citizens and quite patriotic. During WWI, Germany arguably treated Jews better than the UK. At that time, the UK was more paranoid about its Jewish population because they were afraid that UK Jews might collaborate with German Jews. Jews are always on both sides of the battlefield, we are always loyal, we are almost never treasonous, and yet no one ever believes it. We took a lot of flak during the American Civil War, too. Germany wasn't especially antisemitic until well after WWI. We sort of enjoyed a golden age there, before the Nazis.

Indeed solely blaming cultural anti Semitism isn't enough . How do we know if Hitler was raised in India she wouldn't have grown up hating Jains and wanting to exterminate them .
