Because they don't fit your preconceived notion of the big bad evil MRA? Sorry, you don't get to decide what they are. MRAs can and have supported feminism, but communities like Jezebel have decided to lump the shitbags in with the good people.

"No, it's not her fault that sombody raped her. But its not surprising she got raped, either. She made herself a target and then failed to take the appropriate precautions."

"Their goal is to complain, undermine feminists, and derail every conversation that doesn't focus on them and feed their persecution complex."

Yeah, those MRAs just love them some rape. Check out these sick motherfuckers:

"Chris Brown has a singular talent for making it impossible to sympathize with him even if he's recounting a vaguely traumatic incident from his childhood. You know, like that time he lost his virginity to teenage girl. When he was eight."

No, this is what hard runs looks like.

When, exactly, did America go to war for Christianity? No abstract bullshit allowed.

Whatever, Google "teleporter philosophy" and you'll realize that it isn't nearly as cut and dried as you seem to think it is.

Exactly. That perspective died, another was created. They are not the same. Goodbye.

So why does the act of destroying the original you at the time of teleportation result in the original you and the recreated you being the same perspective (as per your blinking and reappearing example)?

My point was that neither you nor I can prove our theory is the correct one, so there is no point in asserting "correctness" over one another, and thus we shouldn't view this as an argument to be "won" (admittedly this is a problem of mine). All we can do is challenge each other to think outside of our assumptions and…

Hypothetical question:

I subscribe to the same exact belief, and yet here we stand.

So you eat nothing then, is that right? Or have you figured out a way to eat plants without killing them?

(Sorry about the 3 comments, I always hit Publish before my thinking has run it's course and editing in additional arguments always makes me feel dirty)

"Since the brain is the consciousness, then two brains which are identical have the same consciousness."

"If I scanned you with a scifi atomic scanner, vaporize you, and then "print" you with 100% accuracy down to the quantum foam level, using atoms not from your original body, in the same location that you were incinerated, and from your perspective you feel as if you blacked out and suddenly reappear unharmed, is…

"As for your straw-man "double clones" they'd both be you, for a short moment, but they'd branch off into two unique alternate versions of you, molded by their life experiences just like anybody else."

Yeah, just like Uncle Toms are stupid. Sorry to hurt your feelie weelies.
