Background, I have a soy allergy and I'm looking to eat less meat or possibly go vegetarian. I came across this article that includes tempeh, an item made with soybeans even by its own description.

I guess we'll have to wait and see, but in the mean time I'll probably pass on the "most powerful rocket ever made in Palestine hit a hospital in a freak accident" and explanation and go with the country that's dropped thousands of bombs in Palestine bombed Palestine.

Not defending your friend, but I think part of it is the association with highly processed foods.

I developed a soy allergy, and I was shocked to learn how much it's restricted my diet. In two years I've found one brand of hot dog buns I can eat. If you you look at almost any fast food restaurants allergen menu you will see soy in almost every single item. Mayo is a effectively whipped soybean oil.

I don't think it's a conspiracy, but it's a cheap additive and seems to have some preservative quality, and a good indication that you're food is highly processed. I eat much healthier now, largely against my will.

It's a nearly 200 year old political philosophy, what do you mean changed and molded? It's almost as old as the United States.

It's the first definition that comes up if you search on any search engine. You'll find it in hard copies of encyclopedias if you really want to. It's quite literally THE established definition.

It's does because they are very basic criticisms to the point of being kind of insulting. It's a akin to asking someone with clinical depression if they have tried vitamin d supplements. The suggestion itself demonstrates their own cluelessness.

I've read both those, that's the point.

I've been reading anarchist literature for nearly 20 years. Please enlightened me on where you got this well established definition that you definitely didn't just make up on a whim.

Okay, but thats literally the problem with authority. Any problem it can solve can also go unchecked in creating 10 more.

I'm entering my years as a senior anarchist, and I always find it funny when some in their 20's who got their entire personality from a podcast tells me to read to read On Authority or State and Revolution or something. My dude, I actually read people I disagree with, do you? Because only someone that doesn't would think those are profound criticisms.

"anarchy has a well defined meaning" it does, and if you had read anything about it before posting this you would know what it is.

It really is crazy that you can have venture capitalists operate at a loss for a decade just to change the entire infrastructure of society to be dependent on them in the future. Really undermines any kind of microeconomic common sense that is supposedly the basis of capitalism.
