    If somebody is forced (!) to dress in a specific way, that’s wrong. But if somebody chooses (!) to wear them for religious reasons, who am I to judge that?

    My point is, there is nothing inherently wrong with burkinis - the context in which some individuals are wearing them might be wrong.

    I 100% agree with you, that nobody should be forced to wear something that they don’t want to.

      Not how totalitarianism works. How many Germains chose to be nazis un the 1930s? How many Russians chose to be communists in the 1950s? Totalitarian is a force that negates individual choice with a set of rules, anathemas and violence, with the ultimate objectve of a uniform society where everybody adheres to the exact same ideology. Burkinis are one of the tools used to enforce said ideology.

        Being a Nazi and wearing a specific kind of bathing suit are two wildly different levels of social impact. Please argue in good faith next time.

        I think you took it too far.

        I won’t agree with you, and I don’t think there is anything positive you want to share.
