This post reads like it’s going to great lengths not to talk about whatever the thing is it’s actually talking about, that inspired it. It’s easy to sound reasonable if you generalise sufficiently. And it distracts people from noticing this if you use eyecatching words like “fascist” in the process.
I have no idea what the original topic was, but it reads like it was written in reaction to a specific thing, and it’s really obviously dodging saying what it is. And gratuitously throwing in “fascist” with the effect of directing attention away from this.
So which is it? Is philh a dirty pro-lifer who is trying to sound more reasonable, but you saw right through him? Or a dirty meat-eater? Or a dirty non-donater? I wanna know the exact reason why we shouldn’t listen to anything he says.

Are you thinking of abortion, vegetarianism, donating to charity, or something else? I think the post is widely applicable.

Dodging the original issue might be a good idea; chances are good it’s a mind-killer.
I like the post, even if it’s just making explicit something I probably knew.
