Dang, that's beautiful, nice shot.

This explains a lot, thank you.
I disagree. People dislike vegans because vegans (understandably) often get angry over an atrocity that other people don't see as an atrocity and insist on being abusive to people who disagree on subjective matters.
Libs don't dislike us for getting angry, they dislike us for a range of reasons, including disagreement on objective facts, contradicting material interests, subjugation to capitalist propaganda, etc. We shitpost and get mean, but I don't see us being abusive to people unless good faith discussion has already been long tried and failed.
They used the "Torrance Tests of Creative Thinking", a pseudo-scientific test that measures and evaluates absolutely nothing of any objective measure or value.
Though I personally don't know who of the two evils would be the worse win in the long run, yes, agreed, very much this.
Is he a fake lefty? He seems as outwardly 'centrist' as it gets.
And pollution is all about per-capita.
Doing an insanely small amount better than the other slave master is not a good thing. "They stabbed me five times, but the other guy would've stabbed me seven!".
Sure, please vote for five-times-stabber instead of ol' seven-timeser, but by gods neither are worth defending in any sense.
I think there's room for this thought. Honestly the TLDR is enough - Not repeating what others have already said is probably enough to make sure we respond adequately but not overwhelmingly.
I don't consider it dumb, we don't universally dunk on voting, but I think most of us would say it's borderline meaningless. The end result of Biden's time in office vs. Trump's time in office thus far are almost indistinguishable. They both happily support the pursuit to bomb other countries, actively fuel and support overseas wars, attempt coups on foreign governments, blockade Cuba against the wishes of the entire UN, torture innocents in black bag sites, lock up children, imprison people en masse, watch millions suffer without actually reasonably helping, etc. Biden's term in office has overseen a horrific reversal in abortion law and has directly made active efforts to limit the actions of unions, and so forth - that sounds not very distinct from fascism to me.
Main point of the post is "We'll talk about it later" has been the general attitude from liberals to leftists since the beginning of time. We're ALWAYS just averting a crisis right now and it turns out that right now is never the time to actually make constructive change.
???? The Wikipedia article very literally states the massacres didn't happen.
Plenty of other good relevant replies, I just wanna express my admiration and love for being open and asking questions. I've seen a few people from other instances show genuine curiosity like this, and it's quite heart-warming. Hope our instances can intermingle posts and ideas happily and constructively
Yep, the BBC has spent the last 20 years being made more right-wing by successive governments. It is now explicitly anti-left.
