If someone claims something happened on the fediverse without providing a link, they're lying.

Evidence or GTFO.

  • You are literally empowering the people spreading the shock collar hoax.

    Lol, what? Every vegan in this thread is saying it's bullshit an calling out people who promote it. In what way are we "literally empowering" the hoax by pointing out that the people promoting it don't care about animals unless they can use it to attack Hasan?

    I think you misread what was going on completely and then jumped on the opportunity to start bashing vegans and lording over your supposed moral superiority that you earned from checks notes not lording your moral superiority over people. I'd call it an honest mistake if you weren't such an asshole about it.

  • There used to be two opposing superpowers. Then there was one superpower, with nobody else powerful enough to keep it in check. How on earth was it not more balanced? How could anything be less balanced than a world with one superpower?

  • It was more balanced than it is today. And especially more balanced than it was immediately after the the USSR collapsed.

  • My example of a world with a balance of power isn't any better than a world dominated by a single power?

  • Anyone who's in camp 2 will be labelled as a "tankie" regardless of anything they say or don't say.

  • But surely it’s better to have a balance of power between multiple flawed countries with some ability to keep each other in check, than to have one bad country that can act as a sole superpower and can do whatever it wants with impunity.

  • There we have what? A consistent stance that the US shouldn't be able to dominate the entire world?

    The USSR is a poor example of a counterbalance to the US as it engaged in the same behaviours as the US, just with the lie being communism rather than the democratic system touted by the US.

    So, say what you want, your premise has a faulty foundation.

    What I actually said was:

    But surely it’s better to have a balance of power between multiple flawed countries with some ability to keep each other in check,

    So what part of my premise is "faulty," exactly?

  • The goals of 2 and 3 are completely aligned at this moment. So you can obviously dismiss anybody who supports 2 by accusing them of supporting 3.

  • "Simping" is a ridiculous, childish term to apply to geopolitics. This also doesn't really have anything to do with my question.

    I think the USSR served as a useful counterbalance to the US, and that the world was safer when there was such a force keeping the US in check. I don't "simp" for it or consider it perfect by any means.

    The question remains of whether you want to see any kind of force emerging that is capable of putting checks and balances on US aggression, or whether you want it to remain as the global hegemon.

  • I don't "simp" any country and never have. But surely it's better to have a balance of power between multiple flawed countries with some ability to keep each other in check, than to have one bad country that can act as a sole superpower and can do whatever it wants with impunity.

  • You in the other hand, are pulling a kind of “All Lives Matter” bullshit to dismiss smaller, but more important messages like “Black Lives Matter’s”.

    What the fuck are you even talking about? That's a completely inane, nonsense comparison.

    You are using it as an excuse to attack Hasan

    What? Where is that even coming from? I haven't done anything like that at all. I'm on his side all over this thread.

    Vegans are some of the most irrational

    Right, "rationality" is when you say, "It's your fault I eat meat, you evil MAGA person. How can you watch me murder animals and not bend over backwards to baby me, you heartless bastard. Look what you made me do."

    You are being incredibly irrational here. Absolutely indefensible.

  • "MAGA behavior" is when you blame everyone but yourself for the acts of cruelty that you commit. Refusing to listen to a self-righteous, self-aggrandizing hypocrite is not "MAGA behavior," if anything, it's the opposite.

  • Didn't read.

  • WHICH I REFUTED ALREADY, JUST LIKE I REFUTED YOUR 3D PRINTER BULLSHIT AND EVERY OTHER STUPID BULLSHIT POINT YOU RAISED, YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE.

    Blocked.

  • Man, fuck off. Like you didn't make shit up over an over, that whole "1776" line, get the fuck out. Just drop it. Reply again and I'll block you.

  • Amazing. I'm somehow morally responsible for you deciding to eat meat (a decision you made long before reading anything I wrote), but you aren't. I can't imagine being so shameless.

    It goes beyond the meme of "'Stop killing people' um I'm literally neurodivergent & also a minor?" We're now into "'Stop killing people' fuck you, I'm going to kill more people and it's your fault because you told me to stop."

    Take responsibility for your own fucking actions.

  • That's stupid. If I went into sufficient depth to satisfy you (and only you, btw), nobody would read it because of the length.

    I've addressed all your objections and each time you just invent some new bullshit to try to justify why you got all pissy in the first place. Just fuck off already.

  • So I'm not allowed to tell anyone to do anything if that one thing doesn't magically fix all the problems in the world?
