MODERATORS
Everyone loves fascism until it's used against them.
I've had my dad agree that something the Republicans are doing is extremely authoritarian and state that he is going to look past it because he wants lower taxes and likes guns in the same breath.
A thousand times this.
The core problem is "wrong" is not a self-evident concept. Christians think masturbation is wrong (and a host of other intrinsically human things). Not so terribly long ago, a disturbingly large number of Americans didn't think it was wrong to own people.
"Minimizing harm," on the other hand, is much easier to pin down.
