It’s not hard to find a common thread in all Middle Eastern countries…

Sweetie, this was my point. Your link proves my point.

Please calm down and actually try to absorb what I’m telling you. This is basic history IF you care to learn it. I know it’s easy to fall in to xenophobia but the world is more complicated than just saying certain groups are universally evil.

It’s the US fault that Islamic extremists are the goverment.

I thought Islam was the religion of peace?

Most Christians are peaceful, but if an outside country destabilized the US democratic and republican party then placed the KKK in power, their version of Christianity would be what America lives under. Exactly as it happened in various middile eastern countries.

This isn’t a consisparcy or anything, it’s basic history of the region freely available on Wikipedia. Saying anything else is just ignorance.

The Iranian revolution (where fundamentalist Islam / Sharia took over the country) was a direct fallout from the Shah, (the US puppet dictator) losing power after exploiting his country for US interests (cheap oil) for nearly four decades. He died in exile while everyone in Iran accused each other of being secretly western puppets and then naturally the religious traditionalist were above these accusations.

This isn’t a conspiracy theroy or anything, it’s all extremely on the record but so few Americans know or give a shit. Simmiliar story everywhere in the region. Religious fundamentalist extremism wasn’t the norm for the longest time until US intervention.

No more than disrupting a KKK rally is white phobia.

Documentaries don’t generally get sequels, but here’s hoping enough dumbasses buy in so Netflix/Hulu can do another set.

Clyde Prestowitz, president of the Economic Strategy Institute, went so far as to call the Defense Department lazy. He says the Pentagon should leverage the fact that “for companies in those areas, to have big business with the U.S. Department of the Defense is important.”

“I could’ve swore we had more influence than that. Amercia is still the world leader right? …right!?”

“For a man who’s supposedly a model of compassion and tolerance, he sure does want a lot of people to cease to exist.”

Critical of people she praises for compassion.

“J.K. Rowling has recently been canceled because she… did not please the fans of the so-called gender freedoms.”

Praised by fascist dictators.

And yet somehow JK thinks she is on the right side of history? 😄

You sound like qAnon, no matter what is said, you can always just say it’s deepstate trickery.

I clicked the link and was really surprised not be on the onion.

But did Netayahu condemn Hamas while getting them funds?!?

40.1 C and 104 F.

“It’s so convenient for both work and home. I have essentially reached a state where the office and my home have become one,” she said.

This is what happens when companies expect you to live and breath for their bottom line.

but humans driven to eat meat and without extremely strict enforcement global veganism is a fantasy.

I never said anything of the sort. Right from the start you’ve assumed a lot about me, I left a one sentance reply to an article I agreed with and you’ve built a straw version of me to argue with your over the top talking points. Stop putting words in my mouth because I agree that it’s not realistic of feasebile for humanity to go off meat in either of our lifetimes.

What I am saying is that calling meat “humane” is an inherent contradiction and just a marketing term so people can feel better about their choice to eat meat. Just as “free range” or “cage free” chickens absolutely still live their lives in appaling conditions. It’s whitewashing away treating life as a commodity.

Which is yuppie bullshit.

Tell me friend, do you also 💩 in a box?

Cats have no sense of morality, civilization, empathy, or agriculture. Our understanding of the world is greater and thus so is our responsibility to act more intelligently. I can’t have a discussion with a cat, but you aren’t a cat so it’s asinine to use them as a metric on rational behavior.

The acidity of our stomach alone is clear evidence we are evolved to eat meat, combine that with our need for B12, our teeth, length of intestines relative to other herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores puts the nail in the coffin for the idea that we are not meant to eat meat.

You wear shoes, statistically you probably wear glasses or contacts, all of us have back problems as we ags the idea that we should do what our body evolved to is honestly kinda ludicrous. I mean heck, we are talking through wifi, wires and electricity. We both drive a car to get food through major distribution chains. Nothing in our lives is natural.

Take some damn b12 supplements, the overwhelming majority of people, vegans and carnist alike, have a deficiency anyways.

Life eats life, that’s how it works.

Yeah, but beans don’t have a brain, nerve endings or a nervous system. Sure they are alive, but it’s intellectual dishonest to think that a pigs and beans interact with the world in the same way. So yes, life eats life, but my life sustaining food doesn’t feel pain. It has for over a decade now.

Like, I feel you should read the article? The idea that you can kill something ethically is cognitive dissonance.

Humane meat and dairy is yuppie bullshit.

It’s entitled to exclude.

Fair enough, but I made my stance clear from the start and you literally asked for my opinion on your situation specifically so I’m not gonna hound you or anything.

I just think you have cognitive dissonance around a cultural norm, but lots of people do for lots of different topics so that doesn’t make you a bad person.

Have a good night.

They’re not going to live forever in nature and I give them a very good life.

Again. Does not absolve murder. Literally no one will live forever, but that’s not a reason why you can kill your neighbors.

Plus all the great meats come from pig.

Harming a creature for your own personal pleasure is the logic of dog fighting. You don’t need to watch that as entertainment just as you don’t need to kill for the enjoyment of food.

I feel like you using very selfish reasoning. Does assault, rape or murder become moral if I enjoy it enough?

That you are slaughtering them. So you aren’t testing them well at all. That’s just a thing you say so you can feel better about knowingly causing harm. Do you treat your cat well until you kill the for the pleasure of their body? Do you treat your dog well until someone pays you enough to kill it?

Being nice to a creature before murdering it doesn’t absolve the murder. Not causing harm in another is the standard for ethical behavior, not you going the extra mile.
