Oh, he's doing a great job and getting rewarded for treating people badly? Fuck that

You are not like that, currently. But in the right environment and in the right situation, you’ll find out that to the contrary, you are exactly like that.

Humans are wired to (justifiably or not) vilify anyone who’d pose a threat to their safety

You're right, I left out self-defense, which is in fact a situation where I would cause suffering, but this is not unnecessary suffering, it is necessary for my safety. And I would not go beyond what is needed for safety. Dehumanization does not apply here.

Look at every racist and extremist in existence and try to understand where they’re coming from.

I know exactly where they are coming from. Racists are blaming a peoples for the perceived bad behavior from a subset of that group, prejudice, this is wrong and a sign of a shitty person.

I am a trans Mexican woman amongst other "undesirable" categories. My main enemy consists of a subset of white men, they are the ones primarily keeping me down, does it make sense for me to hate white people? Am I a decent person for being anti-white because some white people harm me? No.

I don't hate white men, I hate those individuals who may be white men, but I don't hate their color or sex, I hate their acts. I don't dehumanized white men.

Mother fuck!

Clearly, what's your point? There are many groupings people can be put into depending on perspective.

I don't think dehumanization works on everybody. Dehumanization works on already kinda shitty people that view themselves as above others. I am not like that personally and I'm sure I'm not nearly the only one. I simply don't see myself as entitled to cause suffering in any other conscious being, human or not (except that which is necessary to sustain life as an omnivore -- which I am entitled as a living being).

Honestly it wouldn’t surprise me to find out it’s all a lie and nothing has happened to anyone over this.

This is the most likely I'd say.

We're a joke to them and their sources.

If we lose our democracy, it's because Biden threw it away.

An old one that's gonna be dead probably before the war would end anyways lol.

My new conspiracy is that the popularity of fishing and hunting in right wing areas exposes the youth to lead in fishing weights and projectiles. The double whammy of lead from the environment due to gas in past decades (which mostly affected everyone but poor people even more) combined with lead from fishing and hunting exposure caused whole regions to have lower intelligence.

Then because of how dumb and backwards the area is, pretty much anyone with a head on their shoulders wants out ASAP exacerbating the problem and we end up with whole regions ripe for activating into an idiot army. This fact is taken advantage of by Republicans (not the dumb ones, the grifter ones that were rich and not exposed as much) with the way the U.S. senate works giving power to land instead of people. Republicans then keep those regions dumb and scared to help them keep their grasp on power.

Also political organizations want this data to help them target potential voters more effectively.

Better watch out, they also go after people use "s" instead of "z" in "pluralize".

Sorry to tell you, your close friend is already a bad person. Good people don't volunteer to oppress people and deny their needs, especially after being told it's going to make them worse.

Something something the company you keep..

That same shit is in all of us

I don't believe this is true, I don't believe I personally could ever take pleasure in another's serious pain (i.e. doesn't include laughing at my friend slipping on a banana). While many in nazi germany may have had a bit of repressed sadism, many others had to be tricked or coerced into doing banal evil things.

There's so much delicious vegetarian and vegan food.

I've said since this started, Israel is going to completely wipe out Palestine and say "Oh, my bad, that was a dark part of our history" and the world is going to continue to trade and respect this new larger country.

A few people will write songs about the genocide, some big director will make a movie and people will pound their fist on their way to the restaurant. I mean, we're capitalists and the U.S. needs it's military base to keep that region in check, you don't expect real consequences for Israel, darling of right wingers for something as trivial as wiping out a peoples do you? It's not like they moved left or anything intolerable like that.

I talk about how human population is a fundamental problem and get pushback from people saying we can make enough food, everyone needs to be vegan and we all live in cities with buses etc. But this ignores many problems, and this is a perfect example.

It's impossible to feed 8 billion people without everyone going vegan (which simply isn't going to happen) or industrial agriculture treating animals like objects.

While I believe I have the right as a living being that nature evolved into an omnivore to take the life of another conscious being for food, I don't believe we as a society are entitled to abuse another species of conscious beings and waste their lives as will certainly end up being done here to cull the flock.

What is a potus?

It stands for something, like Piece Of Titanic Unethical Shit I can't remember.

Can you imagine the molecular and epigenetic damage being done to the Palestinian people right now?

Degrowth until we live within planetary bounds accomplished with cultural evolution and ending capitalism is the only thing that could actually work.

All other proposed solutions fail to address the fundamental unsustainability of our way of life and could only hope to slightly slow our demise.
