i’m not that concerned with the precise definition of “opposite”, but i am concerned with whether or not the post’s logic is sound
The problem is that your argument relies on the idea that “most people support eugenics until you say what it actually is,” which is false in my experience while the post is correct.
i’ve given two examples where i think the average person would come down on the side of “let’s do some eugenics” until being told “haha you just agreed to do some eugenics”
the problem with the post is that if you boil it down, it becomes “things that sound good on the surface are automatically good”, which doesn’t hold
It doesn’t say they are automatically good, just that people have a negative connotation to the word Marxism even if the ideas are sound and good.
“people have a negative connotation to the word Marxism” absolutely has baked-in implications, and an argument left unsaid, even in total isolation
if i say to you “people think the word nazi has negative connotations”, then even with no other context then obviously you’d conclude that i’m a nazi freak
the post doesn’t make any justification for the ideas being sound and good, it says they sound good
i don’t think this post’s subtext is as simple as the interpretation you’re providing
