Is that right? To the average person, “Anti-Work” sounds like you’re straight up against working, and unless you want to explain this to every single person individually, Fox News is going to keep having a field day misrepresenting your movement.
In case this dude wasn’t despicable enough, he was also in the process of grooming a minor when this happened. Republicans really are the party of projection.
You seem to have missed where the article doesn’t say anything about “having a staring contest with some psycho extremist and think about taking the AK off your shoulder.” Speculative bullshit like this makes it seem like you’re supporting the shooter.
People like this don’t have the guts to actually take a side and say what they’re thinking. They’re content to blow a dog whistle implying the victim was somehow wrong, then when they get challenged on it they throw their hands up like, “I never said that!”
We evolved to be able to eat a wide variety of foods. It’s part of why humans have been so successful at adapting to different climates, and it’s the reason we have a choice in our diets that other animals do not. If we can choose whether or not to eat animals, and if we choose to eat them purely because we like the taste better than the vegan alternatives, then we’re placing a higher value on our own pleasure than the lives of these animals.
It’s not a question of “all living things”. “Sentient” is the key word in this case. There are no biological mechanisms by which a bacterium or yeast cell can experience pain, fear or sadness. Animals do have this capacity and they display responses to these feelings very similarly to humans when subjected to them.
But even if they did, we need air and water to survive, but we don’t need to eat animals. If you don’t need to eat animals to survive, you’re only killing them for pleasure.
I love watching a post from a vegan community get enough traction that it starts hitting people’s general feeds and carnists absolutely lose their goddamn minds in the comments🤌
My group used to be like this too, now we call out where we want to be reinforced to, and the person reinforcing casually ignores that request and drops the reinforce pod on the nearest bile titan.
