My point is that there is a difference which is important. People are acting like the two are somehow the same.

People do the same with rape, acting like all rape is equally bad. When clearly having sex with your drunk wife is not as bad as abducting and violently restraining a stranger to rape them.

All rape is bad, and that includes all sex with minors. But there are certainly still distinctions to be made.

    So you think the legal punishment for an adult having sex with a 5 year old should be the equivalent to them having sex with a 15 year old? There's no difference?

    Luckily, the laws in all states disagree with you.

    Fascism is capitalist only insofar as they give some deference to the "private" owner, but there is no proper respect for private property. Otherwise, the government controls all "private property" for national purposes. China is a fascist contemporary, marketing itself as communism (like Nazis did with socialism). But in reality, private property is being seized for the nation, not for the working class.

    Musk in no way want to give over his companies to any government.

    Imagine thinking Musk is intentionally doing a Nazi salute. Such unbelievable nonsense.

    After being in front of a thousand crowds, denouncing Nazis, and being critical of the government, he wanted to show everyone he's actually a Nazi, just this once, with absolutely no upside in sight? Why would a massive capital holder, passionate about his businesses, want to hand over corporate control to fascist authoritarians? He constantly bashes the two-party status quo, government mismanagement of money, and fantasizes about the rise of a third party.

    With a centrally controlled food supply, a misstep can lead to there literally not being enough food. You know this is different and this post is disingenuous.

    More people die from obesity than starvation. There are tons of options for free food. Nobody is going to starve to death.

    It's using "gender" as people used to 10+ years ago, as a synonym for "sex." They never got the memo. (1) It's clearly labeled male and female, which aren't genders, (2) there's only two categories instead of dozens as there would be for gender
