dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in /c/slop

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Real big brain takes in here like "but have you considered that I don't think animals are sentient"

[–] robot_dog_with_gun@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (4 children)

sapience and sentience are not the same

Living things suffering in squalor then being killed so you can have le epic treats is okay as long as they wouldn't pass IQ tests of your own arbitrary standards. This is all justified because of a scorched earth belief that no life whatsoever should ever have been born, in the past or in the future. You are the most leftist leftist. marx-joker

Yeah, insofar as they are defined as different; what significance is there in distinguishing them in the context of reducing animal suffering and promoting the change of diet?

Only smart beings of a specific hurdle height should escape suffering and slaughter! yud-rational
