dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

Pure civility brain. You know better than this. We all know better than this on every other topic.

Not if you're telling black and brown people that saving chickens from the slaughterhouse is on the same level as their fear of being shot on the street, as in the example I used.

maybe i dont know how 'convincing people' works but my gut reaction to 'should we let civility get in the way of actually doing something' was not becoming as unapproachable, unattractive and generally repugnant as possible

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Standing up for the oppressed and speaking out against their oppressors is "generally repugnant" smuglord

Like I'm not going to defend someone who equates animal liberation on the same level with black civil rights or palestinian liberation at a meeting that is comprised almost entirely of black/hispanic/palestinian people talking about the links between palestinian and black liberation like someone I know IRL tried to do and go shouted down (rightfully I might add) when the PoC in the meeting either looked uncomfortable or offended since what it sounded like they were being equated to animals with all the racial baggage that it carries.

Do you think this kind of behavior is ok?

I think being an asshole and then making fun of people who call you an asshole makes you an asshole

[–] Venus@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

On one side: being an asshole

On the other side: genocide on a literally unimaginable scale

Yeah I'm just really concerned about civility smuglord

your last few comments:

smuglord im just going to spam this emote and create a silly strawman of their argument which totally makes me right, which ironically makes me the exact person the emoji was made to critique but im not going to think about that. That'll show 'em

While veganism is good and superior to eating meat, I agree, like, this is not a great way to spread the practice and convince others of that. Like, even among vegans it's not a consensus that animal lives and human lives are 1:1, in all contexts. So going off that logical assumption and then straight to declaring animal processing the worst genocide of all time, worse than the Holocaust, is going to throw people off lol.

no but its also the slave trade and if you dislike that comparison you're reactionary scum
