@rintaichou I think Megan is exactly the kind of person to have weird, overproscribed positions on this kind of issue. This one just happens to be low stakes.
We've found that our friend T-Paine passed away recently. He was both funny and had a white hot anger at war that was consistent for the 20 odd years we'd known him. It was nice to see him connect with many of you over the past few years.
@budgjori I mean I would say it sort of is, it's just that the material interests are obviously the ultimate cause and also probably shape each participants moral decisions anyway.
@EOpsych You can say whatever you want about how many puppies you would sacrifice to save one human or whatever the fuck, but that's not the question being asked. The question is how many non-human animals would you sacrifice for convenience or pleasure or just routine?
@EOpsych None of these people can understand the idea that, regardless of exactly how much moral value you give non-human animals, killing them to eat them when you do not actually need to do that is something people might reasonably find immoral.
@runclepennybags Then you go, "Oh, I guess some people did need to be taught that, maybe it was a good idea." But the joke is actually on all of us, because the people who needed to learn it just didn't fucking remember or pay attention, so there really was no point after all.
@runclepennybags That experience annoys me so much, particularly for things like "making a budget" or whatever. Not only do I remember sitting in the class, I remember thinking "this stuff is so obvious I can't believe they're wasting our time in class teaching it".
Wow itโs almost like there was a deeply engaged protest movement by college students 2yrs ago that was the largest in 50yrs and the publication you work forโalong with every other major outletโsmeared them as antisemites, then they were all systematically kicked out of school.
@HeyTingles@MandelaFace small issue for ol' george: this blockade of a trade route has clear, obvious goals and impacts and is being taken directly in response to specific military actions, unlike the trade federation's
@MandelaFace It must be so fucking awesome to be one of these guys. Saying shit like "blind anti-warism". They're not even bothering to say anti-interventionism or something like that. Just wondering aloud why people's baseline would be to be against war, lol.
