Probably more direct than I would have been but good post, glad you've argued with people on the internet so I don't have to.
A mixture of slippery slope, a complete disregard for the weight of history and a lack of understanding of the difference between "law" and "justice" seem to be a recurring set of arguments when it comes to disagreeing with social justice issues.
I figured no one else was going to do it because it was too long. On platforms like reddit and Lemmy you kinda have to shut this stuff down instantly or dumb people start upvoting it. Most are too lazy to actually read stuff properly or fact check it themselves so if they see a comment with a high number of upvotes they just blindly believe it has some value even when it is completely useless dribble like the one above. I also enjoy the bit where these losers rage reply or cry about their hurt feelings after you completely destroy their flimsy little soap box, so that's extra motivation I guess.
