It's funny, because it's not even hard to do. ala-
I think that rape is wrong.
-Why? Because it causes harm (and not a little...alot)
Is it just, like, you know...my opinion, man...that rape causes harm?
-No, ofc not. It objectively does.
What if somebody else thinks it doesn't?
-Somebody else™ is wrong, again objectively.....and probably a rapist (jk...they're just a rapist sympathizer, lol)
What if somebody else doesn't care whether or not it causes harm?
-Then somebody else™ has an empathy deficit, and it doesn't matter whether or not they care.
What If I really really really wanna gang up like a pack of ducks (wtf) with my friends to rape someone?
-Then you need to seek help, because you're probably going to end up finding sympathetic ducks to gang rape some poor girl...regardless of whether or not it's wrong, and even if you accept that it -is- wrong.
You just made that up, that's from a human mind, it's not real, it's delusional..it's incoherent
-I didn't make it up, it is from a human mind, but the harm caused by rape is in no way a delusion, nor is it's designation as a bad thing because it causes harm anything other than straight laced coherence.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
