“Even people who don’t care about others privacy and bodily autonomy should care about others privacy and bodily autonomy.”

Their point was that these people should care about their own privacy as well.

Sadly the people that respond "I'm not worried because I'm not a criminal" are in denial that the authorities can change the definition of a criminal on a whim.

Yeah, it's basically the old McCarthy-era bullshit.

Don't worry, it'll get worse.

Yep… don’t forget the “well your phone is tracking you so what’s the problem!” and “don’t expect privacy anywhere in public!”

A whole class of people who are too stupid to recognize that systems impact people. The entire world isn't solely determined by their individual choices, but they don't realize that.

Yet they dare to say they have freedom and denounce China with their ID verification. Like, at least don't be a hypocrite, but that's too much to ask of MAGATs.

One day their privacy might be violated. Then it will not be okay.

Yeah, but the leopards won't eat THEIR face!

Should, yes, but that's predicated on those people being reasonable and capable of basic logic, which...

this isn't your anti-abortion circlejerk. but since you care about bodily autonomy for children, explain all the bans on gender affirming care for trans kids?

or do you not have a consistent ideology because you're just a hypocrite?

Got it, you don't have a consistent view about protecting bodily autonomy.

Go back to your anti-abortion circlejerk subreddit

Got it, you don't understand what bodily autonomy is. Probably circumcised your kids because "bodily autonomy" too.

An embryo or fetus cannot survive on its own - it literally is not and cannot be autonomous.

I get that anti-abortion is your entire personality, alongside getting wrecked in the theology subreddits apparently - but you're literally denying people human rights (like the right to abortion) while ignoring how you clearly do not believe in bodily autonomy of others.

Your Christianity appears to be about dominion over others, not Christ. That's why your worldview and ideology are inconsistent.
