Yours is a perfect false equivalence.

Epstein was offed via bedsheets. We can also laugh at that.

You can also dig up his body and rape it still: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/articles/jeffrey-epstein-final-resting-place-183719617.html

You can, but you shouldn't.

My post wasn't meant it present an equivalence. It was meant to illustrate that both acts are degrading to the person performing them, with the latter being more extreme in its harm. It isn't meant as some kind of "proof" that I am right. I was hoping that if someone agreed that the more extreme dehumanizng acts are harmful for them, then maybe they would consider that the lesser ones could also be. But I guess my real mistake was trying to convince people not to hurt themselves.

You’re really dedicated to this. I’m sure someone is eager to engage your bad-faith . . . suppositions dressed in slightly bigger words than usual but it ain’t me.

Enjoy your day.

I'm sorry you assume this is in bad faith. Internet text messages leave a lot to be desired when it comes to conveying a message. I am sincere, but I'm afraid I often come off as know-it-all, arrogant, holier-than-thow, in an attempt to make my point. I'm afraid it is self-defeating. I need to learn how to communicate these things better.

I sincerely hope you can enjoy your day also.
