Defend this, I dare someone.
Thats actually quite sickening. Is the woman fit to raise a child.
You're defending that?Calm down. Is it really that bad?

Im not defending it, but Im not appalled and sickened by it. Its not the draq-queen s**t that bothers me about it (that's a non issue), its the sexualisation of the kid that I take issue with.
It's on the same level as those Beauty pageant kids ('Toddlers and Tiaras') where kids are both sexualised and thrust into the adult world waaaay too early. Let kids be kids for gods sake.
I dont know the kid, and maybe it was the kids idea, and they're quite mature for their age, and the person they're posing with is a family friend or whatever. I'd need more context to comment further.
I remember working in a shop during high school,wanting to start a war on Christmas...Lefty councillors cutting down the amount of Christmas tree pick up spots this year compared to last year. A clear subversive tactic to discourage people from buying Christmas trees in the ongoing lefty war against Christmas and yet these bloodsuckers are still happy to take their Christmas holidays - Disgusted from Tunbridge Wells.
You’re really clutching to that, eh? Why not move on to the actual issue of chance in a person’s life instead?Except there is no chance you could wake up as an Indian child or Barron Trump. Zero. You have two possible outcomes for being. To be or to not be. That is all.
There are other currencies that people accept - kudos, social standing, enjoyment, duty to country or family, love, mental health benefits, autonomy, etc etc.We live in a distributed labour society, very simplistically one person grows the food, one guy sells the food, one guy is the police, one guy teaches the children etc.
The way that society assigns value to those contributions is to reward the work with a shared accepted currency, money. That money is traded for the labour of the others and the value society places on those roles determines how much money each gets.
There is an argument that a person might not perform a task that is valued enough to support themselves, that their human value deserves an allocation and that's reasonable.
The formula for everyone would be $ = contributionValue + intrinsicHumanValue.
But since everyone has that value it's not worth a thing, it has only created a new zero point.
The counter argument is that there are roles that are required in society that aren't rewarded well enough. I can't think of a vital role that isn't rewarded but I can think of many undesirable jobs paid poorly due to their low entrance level.
Your initial argument was that you were privileged by having good parents who cared about you. That’s not something that happens at random, that takes intent from your parents.You’re really clutching to that, eh? Why not move on to the actual issue of chance in a person’s life instead?
To help you out, how about:
You can’t help it if your parents have a sudden change of fortune in your early childhood.
That’s randomness in your life you have no control over.
“Quite mature for their age”. The Overton Window shifts!You need "context" for that? LOL, unbelievable.
EDIT: I re-read your post as I thought I may have read it wrong. Your last paragraph is actually deeply disturbing.
Parenting?I can't think of a vital role that isn't rewarded but I can think of many undesirable jobs paid poorly due to their low entrance level.
I makes the poster feel icky, therefore it is “lefty”.
Debatable whether it belongs in this thread, but that photo makes me feel icky as ****, tbh.
You need "context" for that?
It looked like a staged photo op with a naked man and a child in drag.
But I cant help but feel the main issue many have with the image, is the fact the naked person in it, is a trans or cross-dressing man.
