Yeah my wife ended up talking me into getting vaccinated. I guess she is hoping that I have some adverse reaction to so that she can get a new husband. /s

Huh. Now that you mention it, my wife was pretty eager for me to get it too. I just thought she wanted better 5G coverage.

Cool, you disagree with their message of inclusion. That's fine.

 

But there is nothing in a message of inclusion that speaks to destroying the nuclear family or a Marxist ideology. Literally the message was about extending the nuclear family, not destroying it.

I disagree with it because it is not inclusive.  It is exactly what was done in the former Soviet Union.  I don't suppose you have much experience living under totalitarian Communist/Marxist regimes that adhere to a socialist economic agenda, but destroying the family and making everything about the collective "village" is a complete farce.

Okay, I guess we disagree on what "destroying" means. Being inclusive is literally the opposite of destroying. Seems like all your objections rely on your belief that inclusion is somehow Marxist/communist/totalitarian, despite there being no evidence of this beyond just how you feel about it, and I just don't really have anything to say about that. I feel like you don't understand what they're aiming for, because you don't want to understand, and you don't want to imagine that even if you believe they are misguided, they at least are doing it without nefarious purpose. But just because somebody doesn't act or think in a way you consider appropriate, it doesn't mean they're evil and out to destroy everything you ever loved.
