  • Amen to that. It's like calling those terrorists from J6 "rioters".

  • They will be labeled "socialists" and/or "communists" and then I guess they'll be ripe for kidnapping and an extreme rendition to another country's concentration camp.

  • Or anyone not sufficiently (baby-talk coming, sorry) "maga" enough for him.

    The term "maga" is baby-talk (sounds like googoo and gaga for a reason) and has no real meaning other than someone that worships Taco without any reservations.

  • Probably far too strident for Milquetoast Merrick.

  • Not according to the new set of conservative morals. They think Taco is more Jesus than Jesus (who was a commie liberal anyway) and the very pinnacle of moral character.

  • Moral character? Taco should be the first to have this applied to, then.

  • no one is switching from D to either of those asshats.

    Well, hopefully very few. I mean, not that long ago, we had the whole Jill Stein thing....

  • Hopefully he splits the Republican party and ensures a Democratic majority everywhere.

  • From what I understand (besides all the other effects of this it apparently causes), the end result for someone affected, if they were an omnivore that ate beef/pork/lamb would just switch to eating all seafood/poultry?

    So, besides the extremely problematic ethics of spreading an extremely harmful condition worldwide, I think the net effect would be that a different set of animals would be getting killed, not that people would suddenly be eating more ethically....

  • Can confirm IRL, too. I'm not vegan, but vegetarian. Cannot tell you how many rather stupid conversations I've had (initiated by omnivores that discover I'm vegetarian, which I don't exactly advertise, but obviously there are times it comes up if you are sharing a meal at work, or with friends/relatives and so on).

    That's even with me not really having any desire to proselytize or anything. It'd be one thing if I was upping the ante in response. But there is a certain kind of omnivore that seem to be deeply triggered by the existence of veg*ns. I mean, it really really seems to bother them.

  • Thing is, that ability to evade that is intentionally built in. It has to be. We have KYC laws here and anything over 10K is tracked.

    The fact that the ultrawealthy are able to manipulate money in ways so that it's not tracked and/or not taxed has to be by design.
