Same. I was looking for a quote attribution at the end, probably to some well-established author, but realized this comment was too specific to this context. Well written, ProfessorAC, well written.

I hope so. It's about damn time, tbh.

And to preemptively respond to all the libs who might see this comment and proceed to shit a brick: Russia "winning" this was inevitable from the very beginning. The sooner it is finished, the sooner this particular meat grinder, which was started, exacerbated, and perpetuated by fascists and their NATO backers, can finally be ground to a halt.

Edit: I guess I should have put this in the lemmy.ml worldnews crosspost, since I don't think libs tend to stumble into the hexbear news comm much anymore.

This site confuses you only because deprogramming a lifetime of being steeped in imperialist propaganda can be hard. Part of that deprogramming is recognizing that almost everything Russia is doing internationally is good and worthy of support, including fighting US imperialism/NATO and Ukrainian banderite fascists.

It has nothing to do with where I personally draw the line, asshole. It has everything to do with the scientifically established reality about who is capable of suffering. Rocks can't. Cows, pigs, etc. can. Just because your sphere of empathy is arbitrarily drawn to reinforce what's convenient for you doesn't mean that by necessity everyone else is so shallow, cruel, and morally inconsistent.

Weird how often the loudest anti-vegans also turn out to be anti-human too.

Do you also need someone to explain to you why Patsoc's don't fall under the nonsectarian rule too? What about Va*shites? They're real leftists, according to themselves, so not letting them run rampant here is just blatant sectarianism, you're so right! The non-sectarianism rule should also extend to the Pro-Palestine gatekeeper users, always arrogantly telling Zionists that they're not real leftists just because they support a racist apartheid state conducting genocide. This all makes perfect sense.

The train is a unique culinary tool. It's just an innovative way to make track-crushed refries. You eat them the the same way you'd eat any refried beans.

Same vibes as supposed progressives who are sharing pro-Israel PragerU vids after criticizing PragerU on other topics.

Ideally every comrade is vegan, but if for whatever reason you cannot be or are working towards it then at the absolute least you can support those who are and accept that it is the morally correct position instead of all this hoop jumping

Sorry for the cliche response, but really. This.

I agree, non-vegans (or certainly at least anti-vegans, even in this thread) can only operate by avoiding facing their cognitive dissonance through child-like abstractions. But a puerile affection for a stuffed animal has zilch to do with the material basis behind veganism and the very real suffering on an unimaginable scale that carnists subject sentient life to for profit and treats.
