Not justifying creeper cams, or saying "might as well just give up"...but we need to approach the problem from an angle that will get results.
The example was how "we can't say suicide because reasons" just has everyone saying "unalived themselves" which is the exact same thing. The problem wasn't solved.
Unfortunately it is like banning "bad words", grape and unalive just take their place, full meaning intact. The glasses manufacturer will just invest in better hidden cameras. Creepers gonna creep. Honestly, much more brutal laws against creeping and actual enforcement to make it a huge risk for some shoddy spank-bank deposits, would have people going "I'm not risking even wearing those" and the company suffering. Bottomlines are all that make things change anymore.
I am MAGA-passing and ex-military. I most certainly run in conservative crowds and they are far far more hateful and violent than the more liberal groups I attend. Not saying there aren't lunatic fringes on both sides, but the right has adopted their lunatic fringe as mainstream. Go into any gun shop, shooting range, biker bar, golf course, strip club, rodeo....if it leans conservative and you listen, or initiate more violent rhetoric, it will be met with approval. Do that in a coffee shop, bookstore, bike shop, leftist gun range (we literally have one, it is amazing), or other more left leaning place and try that. Some folks will agree and some will try to run you out of the place.
Note: I have read history books and fully understand all major positive changes were brought about by violence, so I am definitely a more aggro leftist, but I'm not randomly shooting people or advocating for assassination. I do however bring up that peace isn't going to work (wrong or not, not debating that here) and I only get shot down by ONE side.
Even people at my church say "God will smite the sinners(Dems)" as they vote for the human embodiment of the 7 deadly sins and clear machinations of the deceiver turning God's flock against the righteous path.
I hope you recover from being used. It sucks, but there are plenty of people that left that sick mental state and didn't have to sacrifice all their conservative values.
You are ruining his non-point!
If it helps, remember, conservatives don't know what the words they use mean, only how they make them feel.
"Killed a Republican" = Leftist...it doesn't matter that most recent political murders against conservatives were from other conservatives, they don't do facts.
The same with communist or socialism. They don't actually know what those words mean, they just know "unga bunga feel-bad word make BIGLY MAD!"
Once you learn that, it helps debate them more effectively.

It was LIFE, and I love the game....nothing like it and it is NOT for everyone.
When I finally freed myself from it...I'd never go back and never suggest others do. It is life consuming.
4.5k hours and 100% (content and achievements as of the Motorcycles update, when I mostly stopped playing)...I also don't recommend it. Great game, fun to have in my state because I can sit and play for an hour and have a blast and put it down...but it has too much random little crap that vampires your time when you don't have anything. Also, powercreep and TONS of trash content that is pseudo mandatory (arching, etc)
What in the Apple products are you trying to do Google?
Guess we will just dump you like we did Windows when they put 11 out and the Linux draw became too great.

"non-conservative" it keeps us under the same umbrella
They can only shoot one, maybe two guns at a time, just like the rest of us...and we out number them.
You are being lied to. Do better, investigate, even when it hurts your sensibility.

Get help, friend. It is out there.

They want Nazis out of power. Slight difference, likely feels like a death threat to them though.
