    So you think that we owe abject obedience to authority figures because they might hurt you otherwise but it would still be your fault if they did?

      Sounds a lot like an abusive husband claiming that he wouldn’t have to beat his wife if she hadn’t burned their dinner.

          This is what I greatly dislike within this community. Why must you resort to calling me names because you disagree with my point of view? Your view of my opinion on an isolated matter does not make me those things and I don’t appreciate it.

          Just slap a label on me and make that your reason to be “correct”. This place sadly does not support opposing points of view that are thoughtfully made without cutting each other down and calling people names.

            You’re advocating for those two things. Starting the obvious isn’t an insult. We have a right to comment on that things we see with our eyes.

                My friend, you engaged in victim blaming, and when called out on it, you doubled down. That’s uncivil and generally insulting. Meh.

        How does this relate to domestic abuse and what did I say to imply that I am one who would do such a thing?

          Because you implied that he deserved to get assaulted and thrown to the ground for “talking back” and “not following instructions.” You don’t see the parallels between this and a husband assaulting and throwing to the ground their wife for talking back and not following instructions? What makes this okay simply because it’s being conducted by a person who took a 6 week training course and gets to wear a badge on their chest?

            They’re also literally defending cops, probably the most well known group of domestic abusers out there. It really isn’t a big leap to make that if someone gets defensive over abusers (or racists), it’s because they’re actually getting defensive about their own behaviour.

            E: also, the fact that the mods had removed your comment, but none of the racist bootlicker’s, tells you everything you need to know about who they prioritise in this space - when “don’t be a dick” becomes “don’t be a dick to fascists”, you’re actively platforming fascists.
