  • You'll find that it's not possible for the US to completely pull out of supporting them with military aid.

    Then the US must die.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Funny how on the rare occasion they respond to posts like this one, it's to make a snide comment about Russian bots

    "They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."

  • The purpose of the "Russian bot" accusation is to use an unfalsifiable claim to avoid actually having to engage with someone's arguments without admitting that you can't rebut them

  • lol they gave Ukraine fancy NATO gear hand over fist and Russia turned it all to scrap

    You're just gonna have to get over the fact that whitey doesn't rule the world

  • There is no such thing as legitimate opposition to genocide. Anyone who professes such a thing is just saying it to piss people off. Hamas? Trolls! The Houthis? Trolls! The International Criminal Court? Trolls! The huge crowds of protestors across the US? Trolls, every last one of them!

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