    What about vegans that don’t have pets on the grounds of not keeping animals at all?

    We can play this whataboutism game all day long but at least vegans get to sleep at night knowing they’re not directly contributing to animal suffering, mass emissions and antibiotic resistance just to be able to eat some le bacon made from poorly treated, tumor ridden, "fed back" pigs…

    You know I’ve been thinking about loss and it’s usage on the internet and at this point I think we’ve jumped the shark - what started as a way to express dissatisfaction with the way an issue was handled - has now turned into a “haha loss funny” meme - which kinda takes the piss out miscarriage - a very real issue that affects a lot of people. Maybe I’m just getting old but I feel we should bring this meme to greener pastures…












  • Interesting - as the article notes the first amendment was specifically implemented to protect unpopular view points - which is tricky because it does mean that white supremacists have the same right to voice their ideas as critical race theorists - but how do we balance that hate speech should have the same footing as voicing concerns around oppression?

    even more so when those that are oppressed will have a harder time of being heard in the first place? should the law (as the 1st amendment specifically says that a view not held by society is still protected) tolerate hate and bigotry? it appears the nazi bar is guarded by the first amendment :/

    Does trapping Palestinians in Gaza, advocating for the war crime of collective punishment by stopping their water and food supply in favour of bombing civilians (“not a gram of humanitarian aid, but hundreds of tons of explosives from the Air Force”) a mistake as well? What about Ben-Ari’s comments that Palestinian children have brought this upon themselves? What about when Israel directly funded Hamas to undermine more peace oriented groups like the PLO (even after they recognized Israel’s sovereignty), was that a mistake too? At what point do these “mistakes” become genocidal intent in your opinion?
