It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

somehow

oh just morally bankrupt as satan because we've been doing THE SAME THING AS ALL FUCKING HUMANS SINCE BEFORE WE WERE HOMO SAPIENS YOU HAOLE ASS BITCH

Factory farming has not been around as long as homo sapiens. Hell, animal husbandry and domestication of animals has only been around for at most 15000 years. Sure we've been eating meat for millions of years, but aside from some edge cases (arctic peoples are the first example that comes to mind) meat made up very little of the average diet.

If you're still driving predators off their kills so you can scavenge some meat or persistence hunting antelope then you can say you're doing the same thing that we've been doing since before we were homo sapiens sure, but I would argue even the modern practice of raising animals as opposed to hunting drastically alters the amount of animal products we consume.

Apologies for the rambling post but early hominid diets is something that interests me deeply

I'm also someone who isn't vegan (yet) but fully admit they're basically always right

hey, I don't know what in particular set you off about my comment for you to hurl insults at me, but I'd recommend you take some time to breathe, relax and logout. I realize asking someone to calm down has never worked in the history of homo sapiens, but I do ask that you do.

I will say that I did not accuse you specifically of bestiality or even explicitly equate all carnists with the piece of shit that is Singer. I'm merely pointing out a hypocrisy in the moral framework of carnists - that they are okay with killing animals, torturing animals, artificially inseminating animals, but draw the line here for some reason.

Please - have a nice rest of your day.

Im sorry but this also reeks of the reddit suicide help thing. This isn't very good for arguing.
