@soul_eubanks Veganism is a moral philosophy that views animals as individuals, not as commodities or resources, and seeks to act accordingly by excluding harm to and exploitation of animals as far as possible and practicable. People who disagree don't understand veganism.
@anthonyzenkus It's literally impossible to earn a billion dollars just by doing labor. Even if you made $1000 an hour and worked full time and took no vacations or sick days, it would still take you thousands of years to make just one billion dollars. Exploitation is the only way.
@sscharf12@joeywreck I'm sorry but the constitution of the United States was written by and for rich white men. The ideals of liberalism that this country is based on are just that: ideals. The US has never been about practicing what it preaches.
@Cpn_America@anthonyzenkus@PendantIndy If it had just kept up with inflation and not been adjusted in any other way, it should be over $20 an hour today.
@TheConar @SelusiGavin@BadSocialisms Yeah but it's central to the analysis of historical materialism. Non-Marxists can believe it or not depending on their disposition, but you kinda can't be a Marxist without understanding this
@RaptorOne9@Convict_No9653 I love this because it instantly telegraphs that whoever is talking about the "Nazi-Soviet peace pact" is a moron who doesn't know history at all
@FrogTalksTunes@BadSocialisms Probably just another installment in the "Asiatic hordes are coming for your white children" racist mindset that's been around for hundreds of years
@FrogTalksTunes@BadSocialisms Oh lol yeah that's dumb as hell. Like China is going to put its prosperity on hold to funnel billions of dollars into attacking a militarily superior hegemonic empire that would absolutely retaliate disproportionately. These people are delusional.
