I can see how you’d think that if you didn’t make any attempt at all to understand what Angel was trying to tell you.

This is a discussion about piracy.

You’re the one who brought up veganism you complete fucking clown

Carnists don’t count

Insects, crustaceans, and mollusks do not have any form of consciousness.

I do not believe animals to be sentient

And why do you believe that?

I do not equate death or servitude with suffering.

So you wouldn’t have any objections if you were taken as a slave and worked to death, right? Because those aren’t suffering?

I have no issues with someone not supporting animal torture, but I take issue with self-righteous people such as yourself who can’t help but talk about how superior their choices are.

There is no functional difference between your original text and my bolded replacement. To be a carnist is to, through your actions, support animal torture.

Same reason vegans hate on omnivores - they’ve taken the high road and the benefits are small while the cost is high.

Nah, that’s not why we hate you

Communism allows everyone to pretend to have free stuff by declaring those that actually make it less than human, and thus less than citizens.

Your crops are picked by exploited immigrants, the coltan in your electronics mined by African child slaves, and the electronics themselves assembled on 14-hour shifts by sweatshop workers under capitalism. And you still have to pay for them.

What you’re describing are colonialism and slavery, both of which are time-honored, bedrock capitalist institutions.

No, no you should not. No investigation, no right to speak.

If you know so little about your own country’s credit scoring system, you shouldn’t speak so confidently about one on the other side of the world.

Is your point that you’re an asshole, because that’s the only thing you’ve managed to prove

you’re just insane

Wow, who would have guessed the social darwinism defender was ableist

Had they been forced to, that would simply be slavery.

Having a mutual obligation to care for others in your community is exactly the same as being rounded up at gunpoint, ripped from your homeland, shipped to a field or a mine halfway across the world, and forced to toil all day every day for barely enough to survive on until you inevitably succumb to the horrible conditions inflicted upon you

It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment. Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

Hey, what happened at Standing Rock?

In your own words, what is fascism?
