My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me
I wish I had never read that
Then you should never watch Dominion because it will show you the truth about the consequences of your choices. But if you cannot even stand to look at it, how can you stand to do it. When Dominion came out, I knew I could not watch it, and on that day I stopped abusing animals. Several years later I did watch it as an act of “witnessing” and I will never get it out of my head.
You do this every day. It is just kept out of sight. There are 80 billion land animals currently suffering ast livestock. They will each experience atrocity on par with these kittens. The humans you pay to kill animals suffer inestimable psychological trauma, just because you like the taste of bacon and you are willing to exploit a human’s poverty to get it. Act with integrity and care about cows, pigs and chickens the same way you care about kittens and puppies. The animals we create are morally equivalent to our own children and are owed the exact same unconditional love and protection. The experiences of animals are real and matter. Their suffering is identical in nature to your own. It harms us when we take pleasure in cruelty and violence.
in Canada we play Poleconomy.
So, if the Internet didn’t exist, and you wanted to know about what was happening in the world without paying money, you’d go to the library and you’d spend a few hours reading dozens of recent periodicals for free.
You can still do this.
It’s interesting how empowering people and giving them easy access to information also makes them lose capacities that they’ve always had.
They could be forgiven for thinking that since fiat currency is magically made to appear out of nowhere. The government can create as much currency as it wants. The reason it doesn’t is because it devalues existing currency, and so it effectively serves as a tax on people who hoarde money. Boo hoo. My heart bleeds.
Less glibly, couldn’t you look at this through a more positive lens? Can you not be grateful towards our sisters, mothers and daughters for their capacity to resist the fascist hatred that is washing over the planet? Like if we narrowly avoid slipping in to full on fascist governments, then yeah, it will be because of the women, not because of the men. And if we narrowly avoid saving ourselves from that fate, then yeah, it’ll be more the responsibility of the men of the world than the women. It’s a plain as day fact that you can see over the last ten years of polling. If that fact is hard for you to process, probably this public forum isn’t the best place for you to try to work it out.
He’s also inherited irrational hatred from his father. Many 40-50 year old grew up hearing their parents bash PET like it was their full time job and religion. It became part of their fucking IDENTITY. JT could be the second coming of Jesus and the right would still gleefully desecrate his crucified corpse.
Not saying that’s the only factor but it sure made it easier to whip up the moral panic we see among some people today.
Rich pay their fair share?? That’s so backwards. Canada was created to transfer value from natural and human resources TO the wealthy and powerful. That’s what colonialism is. This isn’t some new thing, this is how it has been since the beginning, and it’s never ever ever changed. Canada exists to exploit the vulnerable.
That’s interesting, thanks
