@dblfluidity This is about excluding men from women’s sports because men are not women. Empathy should be had for those who think they belong to the opposite sex than what they were born but empathy does not include trampling on the right of women to accommodate someone’s mental state.
In his Summa Theologiae, St Thomas Aquinas laid out one of the most charitable yet practical arguments concerning immigration that effectively shaped the West for almost 1,000 years.
1. Immigration must always be proportionate so that foreigners can properly assimilate into the culture and mode of worship of the state.
2. Citizenship – and associated rights – should only ever be granted after the third generation to preserve the culture, mode of worship, and constitution of the state.
3. The common good of the citizens must remain the highest priority of the state, meaning, the state's obligation to provide aid to its neighbours can never be at the expense of the citizens.
However, Aquinas ends with the sobering reminder that some peoples and states are incompatible with one another, and these must be held as "foes in perpetuity".
@yanisvaroufakis People see what they see, they feel what they feel, and they don't like what they're seeing. As you sit on your perch, remember that people can fall from great heights. It's time to set aside the arrogance, listen to the people, and take their concerns seriously.
@J_Zaragoza_ Stop hiding behind labels or fooling people into thinking you are noble, kind and empathetic. Normal, everyday people don’t want mass, uncontrolled migration which is actually an invasion. They don’t like what you’re offering.
@ClayTravis This is a big deal that people are making themselves believe this delusion. It explains everything that is wrong. We unfortunately have a Supreme Court justice who can’t define what a woman is.
@FoxNews These are the people who think they’re smart but really aren’t because they usher in communism and cause harm—all with good intentions. It is only when they feel pain that they realize something is off or wrong.
