    I think it’s kinda cruel to the cows but

    I get so tired of the “yes, this appears to be a historical atrocity people have deliberately ignored, but mentioning it now is rude” framing.

    Slapping “we ruined her ability to interface normally with the bureaucracy as a punishment” on top is some reactionary bullshit I’d like to think the anti-Trump crowd would be above.

    But nope… fascism is just a reflex for people.

      I feel like you may be conflating my understanding of her non-acceptance into the community with being ok with animal cruelty.

      I’m not and I don’t think the cows should wear the bells.

      I just think that as an outsider challenging deeply held cultural beliefs she shouldn’t have expected to be welcomed as a citizen of that community.

      It was an extremely unrealistic expectation to have.

        Of course not. Keep people of different beliefs legals segregated and treat anyone in foreign soil as a second class human.

        Otherwise, you might be annoyed from time to time.

        Y’all can read this whichever way makes you happiest…

        But one side is definitely wrong about this, and as a general rule the one advocating for using the power of the state to punish mere annoyance isn’t on the right side of history.

          “Everything I don’t like is fascism”

          Continues with a meme and instead of adressing the question says “in general whhen people do…”

          Lol
