and i don't care about your stupid artificial category of pro/anti 'choice'. it's a meaningless distinction, and a total distraction from the things we should be attending to.

One of the reasons I considered GC akin to a cult at one time is the way so many here manipulate language to minimize choice. The distinction of 'pros,' 'antis,' and 'nons,' although I've used them myself for the sake of convenience, have exceedingly narrow interpretations according to the most actively outspoken members at GC (e.g. Dissident.) Dissident and a few others also use another cult tactic: they roll out these long spiels that repeats the same points over and over and over again, until they become like mantras. Many mantras, including those used frequently here, are thought-terminating cliches. They do not encourage debate; they kill it, or at least attempt to overpower it.

Thought-terminating cliche ⚠️ ↗
