  • Some might suggest that most of the oligarchs are the boomers in these memes.

  • I don't know about cheaper considering his chronic vacationing is on the taxpayer's dime.

  • Nandos

  • I mean, having relations with the same gender is considered adultery because according to their faith, you cannot marry the same sex. That would be regardless of the law of the land.

    That said, I do not for one second, believe anyone who claims to have followed all 10 commandments from the moment they reached the age of accountability (another Christian belief regarding at which point a person is responsible for their sins.)

  • Arguing against the comparison diminishes the harm that can come from a modern day concentration camp. If you want the Holocaust to stay in the history books and not find their way back into the news, you'd compare the two without hesitation. If you're so familiar with the process, then you'd be screaming at every turn about what is obviously happening. If we can't make the comparison between this camp and Auschwitz until we are gassing Latinos in America, then it is too late to stop it.

  • Interesting, so you're telling me that everything I ever learned about Nazi occupied Poland is wrong then? The first gassings at Auschwitz were in 1941, 2 years after the first camp was established there. There were several camps but they started with one camp and worked their way up to gas chambers. If you're going to tell me I'm wrong, your source ought to be better than "I'm a German millennial." Because even the first 3 paragraphs on Wikipedia provide better sources than that.

    Try me, I'll argue all day about Nazi plans, because the only way to stomp out a flame is to know why it's burning.

  • You think Auschwitz started out openly with a plan to kill every detainee? German concentration camps were no different than this at the start. Mass cells for a designated group of "outsiders". It was only later that the gas chambers were erected to cull the contained population to make room for more detainees. We are moments away from Auschwitz in America. If you can't see that, you are deluded.

  • He has not won the election. He won the primary. He now will enter the mayoral race for the general election against the Republican and third party candidates.

  • That's the plan. Who even has 30 years left anyways?

  • Well, the data won't change the fact that a hurricane is coming or not. Just Trump's ability to react to said hurricane. His house would be gone with or without the data.

  • Less than one collector booster box of cards from the latest set...

    Sigh....

  • Plus you can drink vodka with bits of it in.

    And afterwards you can literally shit gold!

  • They make batteries for raspberry pi too you know.

  • When did I say I was fine with it? Also we are still doing that too. GTFO with your all bad choices are equally bad bullshit. That's not how the world works.

  • I think it's more correct than sending the FUCKING MARINES TO SHOOT AT PEACEFUL PROTESTERS IN YOUR OWN FUCKING COUNTRY. Something something Tiennemen Square...

  • That assumes Luigi did it.

  • I'm not OP, the only position I stated was that many people dislike vegans because they position themselves as mightier than thou without checking their own privilege.

    If you're going to try and turn this around on me, maybe you should try and find a way to make your counter point actually an effective one based on the information I had given you. I didn't express my privilege to you before you decided to tell me how unaware I am of it. In fact as far as you know before your comment, I could have been a citizen of one of those Mexican villages. Would you have told one of them to check their privilege? I doubt it. But then again, why would they bother arguing with such a tiny world view that assumes they were an edge case at best. Want to talk about the south east Asian farm towns in the same boat? How about aboriginals? Or the many African tribes.

    All I know about you is that you're a vegan and you believe that anyone who eats meat is morally wrong and should feel ashamed for not just eating plant based protein. That's what you've given me. So I should assume that about you. What I shouldn't assume about you is that you're a well to do white person in a major metropolitan area of the US or Canada or some other first world power where you know where your next meal comes from and have a stable income. I shouldn't assume those things about you because you never said those things. See how that works? I know you're privileged because you don't worry about edge cases like poor Mexican villages or north Canadian Inuits. I also know you're privileged because you think your world view is more important than others' and you talk about it that way on the internet.

    So now give it a good thought with the information you can glean from my prior comment to you. Did I say I was anti-veganism? Did I say I eat meat? Did I say I lived in one of those major metropolitan areas where everything is accessible? Is it safe to assume anything at all other than I dislike when people push their beliefs on others to make them feel bad about themselves when all they're trying to do is get by?

    I wouldn't want an evangelist knocking at your door about becoming a Jehovah's witness just the same as I don't want people like you picking on perfectly good people who eat meat. Eating meat doesn't make you deserving of shame any more than a sinner in the eyes of a church.

    And just like you said before how you think all meat eaters know that it's wrong, you might be projecting a little bit. Because I suspect you know it's kinda morally gross it is to evangelise through guilt even if the goal is an individual eating less meat.

  • No he's saying there are places that can't get 200g of tofu. So it would need to be imported which would make it cost more than 200g of meat. Also, often times, those places that don't have 200g of tofu, the people living there grow and eat their own livestock. I personally know of Mexican villages that don't have a grocery store within 150 miles. So like you've already been told once in the thread, check your privilege. I'm happy that you're happy about your dietary choices. I'm also especially happy for you that you have the opportunity to make those dietary choices. Not everyone can.
