Meanwhile, border patrol is rounding people up into pens and forcing them to stand shoulder to shoulder under a single tiny tarp for shade.

Liberals are as susceptible to culture war bullshit as conservatives, hence, they think music is politics lol

😂

Culture war is a distraction from politics.

This is a red herring.

It’s an option for everyone reading this comment, I guarantee it. You don’t need fake meat to be a vegan, beans and rice are cheaper than meat.

Bloodmouths don’t want to hear it. They need to pretend their corpse habit is sustainable and friendly because if any of them actually thought about the animals they’re hurting they’d feel bad.

I literally became a vegan because vegans kept telling me to, it definitely does work. Almost every vegan started out eating meat.

You know, fair. In a humane world we’d find a way to support people like you, but right now I guess there are probably some people who really must feed on corpses to survive. I still say this is a red herring, because bloodmouths use you as a cover for their own unjustified blood letting.

I think some humans might be able to survive on the tropical Antarctic archipelago…

We want to abolish private property. Often, this freaks liberals out because they think it means we want everyone to live in a hive or something.

queermunist, 10 months ago

Keep telling on yourself.

Misanthropy. Humans wouldn’t have gotten this far if we were all greedy selfish assholes. That’s the result of trauma of living under capitalism.

Communism never fails on its own. It is hunted down and destroyed by the US lol

queermunist, 10 months ago

lol you think the Cold War had nothing to do with the collapse of Yugoslavia? Or that the Cold War was easy for the US to win?

okay bud

queermunist, 10 months ago

It is! Humans are naturally cooperative and empathetic, we aren’t selfish assholes that only care about our immediate families.

Empathy is a skill. It atrophies under capitalism, but it could be trained and flourish under different conditions.

Yugoslavia was literally and directly backed by the US to oppose the Soviets and when the USSR was defeated Yugoslavia also broke up. It didn’t all happen at the same time, of course, but those things are pretty obviously connected. Or do you think that was a coincidence?

The excess death rate, again something that can’t be faked, proves China outperformed everyone else.

They can lie an say a death from COVID was actually a heart attack or a stroke or the flu, but they can’t just disappear bodies and pretend they’re still alive.

queermunist, 10 months ago

That’s not “human nature”, that’s an evolutionary eye blink! Do you think people 50,000 years ago had concepts like that? Absolutely not!

queermunist, 10 months ago

Manipulating COVID death counts isn’t disappearing the actual deaths themselves. We know deaths still happened, like the Time article said “China’s True COVID Death Toll Estimated To Be in Hundreds of Thousands” - so let us assume that’s completely true!

1.4 billion people live in China. The fact that only a few hundred thousand died is a miracle that almost no other country can match when you actually start comparing numbers directly. China outperformed everyone else when you measure how many people died against how many people didn’t die. If China just let er rip like America did, over 6 million would have died. Think about that.

You aren’t a dog and you aren’t a monkey.

Human nature is to cooperate and share among the tribe, and the tribe is basically just “anyone who lives in the same place.” Yes, maybe expanding the tribe to include “everyone everywhere” is beyond human nature, but we’re extremely good at welcoming new people into the tribe. There are countless examples throughout all of human history of new people being welcomed in despite being different, and that’s so very different from basically the rest of the animal kingdom. Humans are amazing, stop being a misanthrope.

Yugoslavia was being propped up as a buffer state by both sides (more the US than the USSR but they both contributed) and once the Cold War became irrelevant there wasn’t anyone propping them up. That’s it.

queermunist, 10 months ago

You’re the one blaming communism for some reason lol

queermunist, 10 months ago

I can’t read the NYT article because it’s behind a paywall lol

Gotta love western “freedom of press”

queermunist, 10 months ago

Now you’re just highlighting how unnatural human lives are, which makes the entire “human nature” talking point irrelevant anyway!

Every civilization in history has thought of itself and everything it does as natural or ordained by god or somehow fated. It’s all bullshit.
