A terrible smelly person
Ace, enby!
furthermore it’s a moot question to ask this of a vegan because vegans often see animals as deserving rights on the level of humans, or at least I believe this based on my personal morals. So it’s like asking why I simply don’t eat human corpses. Or to make the analogy even more horrible, why I don’t eat the corpses of executed prisoners.
I hear stuff like this so often as a vegan. I get asked why I don’t wear leather, since the animal was already killed for its meat, so I might as well make use of its skin. Just yesterday I got asked why I won’t consume dairy because “the cows like being milked. It hurts the cow if they’re not milked.”
God forbid I try my best to reduce animal suffering. I know it’s not going to amount to a lot if I’m just an individual making consumer decisions, which is why I don’t treat veganism like that. It’s not a diet or a clothing style, it’s a demand for the end of animal suffering. And to that end I’ll try my best even if it makes my life personally difficult or annoying.
The only way I’ve been able to explain veganism to carnists is to ask them if they’d eat a dead baby, or wear their dead mother’s skin. But even that’s not very effective. I don’t know how to explain that animals are living beings who deserve life and dignity, same as humans. Because part of the problem I run into is needing to explain that humans deserve life and dignity. It’s hard explaining to a typical American carnist that cows shouldn’t be forcefully bred or used as a milk production factory when the same person believes homeless people all deserve to die.
The greatest measurable increase in life expectancy and quality of life happened in China during the second half of the 20th century, during which it developed from backwater feudalism to centrally planned socialism.
The greatest measurable reduction in life expectancy and quality of life occured in former Soviet countries in the 1990s, where they devolved from centrally planned socialism to internationally financed capitalism.
This is why liberals claim capitalism isn’t a specific material circumstance, but an abstract set of values, or simply when trade exists. They want to make it seem like capitalism is an intractable part of human existence that’s existed for as long as we have. One time I was talking to a guy who didn’t seem to be joking who told me capitalism began when the universe did, because chemicals trade electrons.
Let me contact a few Palestinians to tell them they expect far too much and they’ll never be happy
Seriously think about who you’re going to bat for. You’re comparing different flavors of Hitler and defending one.

25 years ago the Democrats won the election against Bush and then Gore gave up. They personally handed the presidency over to the republicans. Democrats like to lose even when they win. Then 21 years ago the Dems ran on a platform of “we’ll kill Muslims more efficiently than the Republicans.”
Democrats don’t want to win. Their primary purpose is to prevent a left from existing.
Also don’t forget Nancy Pelosi’s statement about the country needing a “strong republican party” last year. These people are ghouls and aren’t to be trusted.
Democrats commit genocide and pretend to be sad about it. Republicans commit genocide and post the 🤣 emoji
Please, Mr. Xi. Press the communism button. My people are suffering
At no point were the Nazis close to winning. After the Soviets won the battle of Stalingrad in 1943 the Nazis were on full retreat until Berlin got captured.
Even leading up to up 1943, Germany had its oil nearly cut off. They became dependent on Romania for their supply. This may sound like a cartoon, but Nazis were dragging their tanks to the frontline using horses.
Germany simply did not have the industrial or logistic capacity to win WW2 at any point. The Nazis had already ransacked the German economy through privatization reforms and selling off anything that wasn’t nailed down. Invading Poland incurred a bunch of sanctions and embargos that resulted in Germany’s only primary oil trade coming from uhhh…the Soviet Union, so the Nazis had the brilliant idea of declaring war on their main source of gasoline.
The worst accusation you could make about China’s alleged warcrimes are how neutral they are in regards to Israel. They also sell guns to both sides of the Kashmir conflict, which isn’t great. They have sold guns to Israel in the past as commerce, but that’s a far cry from the west simply giving Israel weapons and intelligence for free.
Whereas the USA invades a new country on average every 1.5 years and has over 800 overseas military bases. China hasn’t had an active overseas military conflict since the Vietnam war. This isn’t a comparison at all.
cw this for dairy please
Yay I wrote something well. I’m usually very self-conscious about stuff I type and always think I sound like a doofus
I recognize that neither electoral party has anything to offer me, especially if both of them are complicit in genocide. Both sides have nothing. Both are equally dangerous. I’m not going to trust any promises that they make. Did I put it in civil enough terms for you, liberal?
smug liberal asshole fantasizes about me getting put in the trans camps because I recognize that both Amerikkkan parties are complicit in genocide. I don’t know where you’ve been, but Biden and Harris were shaking hands with Bibi just in July. The arms shipments haven’t ceased, no sanctions on Israel have been proposed, nothing is being done besides token efforts that fail on purpose.
“wasn’t mean enough to Israel I guess” Is it so much to ask that someone not complicit in genocide be the president? How about this, if the Democrats are so open and willing in their genocide of Palestinians, what hope does that hold for people like me? How can I trust any of you liberals? “Oh, we’ll bomb Palestinian women and children, but don’t worry you trans and gay folk, you’re fine.”
Yeah ok, except I remember the “first they came for the communists” poem and it’s certainly correct about both of our stupid bloodthirsty parties. I’m old enough to have protested against the Iraq War and I’ve personally watched how current Democrats have simply become the Republicans. Harris fucking accepted an endorsement from Dick Cheney, one of the most evil bastards who ever lived. Slaughtered a million plus Iraqis. And yet here you are concocting a situation where only one side will put me in camps or whatever because I recognize the simple reality that the Demokkkrats and Republikkkans are both explicitly genocidal against my Palestinian comrades
why are you people like this, you people never learn anything. Fuck off. The Dead Kennedys were right about everything.
Netanyahu is already doing whatever he wants and you’re doing apologetics for genocide. The current Biden administration is complicit in genocide and no amount of crystal ball gazing is gonna change that. Israel is currently doing everything they ever dreamed of doing. All the libs claiming Trump will get Israel to nuke Gaza are absolutely absurd. They’re no going to nuke land they want to steal and settle, are they?
I’m sick of this shit. The two Amerikkkan parties are identical on foreign policy
Every person who says this will simply describe capitalism with more welfare
Invincible. It’s pretty good, but really violent
Oh ok, I guess nothing is good then and no one should even try to make alternatives. Cool
I prefer the country that hasn’t invaded anyone in 50 years over the country that’s launched an invasion every 18 months
