  • I agree with you that it's a personal choice. I was replying to someone who seemed to imply that it wasn't, and was suggesting that someone who eats meat can just stop doing it. I think that, for some people or some cultures, transitioning to a vegan diet isn't that easy.

  • I've heard about that, but I feel a majority of meat eaters are quite tolerant with veganism and don't see it a a threat to their masculinity. And I think I can say this threat isn't even relevant in the case of women meat eaters. About the study you linked: it doesn't really try to take an objective standpoint on the matter since its entire premise is the necessity to convince meat eaters to change their eating habits. Also is says itself (end of section 5) that the link between eating meat and masculinity wasn't specifically targeted by the study. The authors do mention though that the link between masculinity and meat eating can be attributed to perceptions created by industry marketing. But in this article (as well as in my own personal experience) this link seems at best anecdotal.

  • I might be late to the discussion, but it seems that your life has been hard and full of abuse. A lot of people here answered your comments with compassion, but your replies were almost always aggressive. It's ok to feel hatred towards your abusers, but the fact that you seem to immediately hate people that try to peacefully communicate with you is, objectively, very wrong. Even if all the abusers in the world died tomorrow, would you be happy?

  • While I agree he didn't do much from a legislative point of view, calling him a failure is missing the fact that he represented a voice that's rarely heard in American politics, which might have paved the way people like AOC or Fetterman. Also the fact that he still holds the same views after 30 years is something that can serve as an antidote to cynicism. He's an inspiring figure to many, and inspiration is important in politics.

  • I'm not sure Democrats have any chance against the all-encompassing Republican Wall of Stupidity if they don't play the same game, to a certain extent. The fact that politics in the US is polarized like it is depends in a large part on the fact that there is no room for a third option. Not by this "your guy/our guy" kind of attitude which is inevitable.

  • Well there's something called objective reality, based on facts and science, not opinion. If you don't acknowledge it, any rational discussion becomes impossible. So don't be surprised if you are kept away from these discussions.
