I think the comment you replied to explains it well enough and I don’t feel the need to repeat myself.

I will edit my comment as well since you edited yours instead of responding. I don’t think the GP’s comment is the equivalent of saying that the moon is made of cheese.

The original parent comment (now flagged) essentially said: only people who reproduce have any right to have any say in how society operates. Especially when it comes to mass surveillance.

Which is patently absurd on its face. Much like saying the moon is made of cheese.

Edit: I’m done pretending like regressive ideas like removing voting rights from entire segments of the population are points for valid discussion.

What makes it patently absurd? I don’t agree with this perspective but I don’t agree that it’s the equivalent of saying that the moon is made of cheese. I found their perspective much more interesting than the typical HN opinions, shame it was flagged.

You may be done with that idea but the idea is not done. We can choose to limit the franchise or we can have it imposed on us when a strongman takes advantage of the chaos.
