  • Things the US will forget:

    Korean War (3mil civilian dead)

    Vietnam War (2mil civilian dead)

    Iraqi War (1mil civilian dead)

    Imagine thinking that the US has forgotten any of these when they’re a constantly pressure on the cultural zeitgeist even literal decades later. Or, for that matter, that the Korean War is in any way comparable.

    Violent overthrow of Afghanistan (twice, over 1 mil dead)

    Twice? Christ, tell me you aren’t talking about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Not to mention that the ‘overthrow’ of ‘Afghanistan’ the second time would rely on recognizing the Taliban, and not the democratically-oriented Northern Alliance which was fighting them at the time, as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.








  • This post is honestly an excuse for anti-vegan bashing. Even if some vegan mods have bad takes for cat nutrition it shouldn’t excuse the hate circle jerk on display here .

    As anyone reading the comment section would see, there’s far from a ‘hate circle jerk’ on display here.

    Remember to always be sceptical towards presentations that try to make you angry like this.

    And remember to always be skeptical towards presentations that insinuate that justified anger towards harmful conduct is an overreaction, and you really just need to chill and sit back and let it happen.

    Perhaps one should also be skeptical towards presentations that attempt to dismiss criticism as ‘bashing’ and irrational regardless of the context or actual content of the criticisms.


  • Sorry mate, but there’s no point in talking to you anymore. All you do is trying to ragebait and it’s not gonna work on me.

    You first claimed that they were being reasonable; when faced with clear evidence of the mods having very unreasonable positions on vegan cat diets and on scientific evidence more generally, you shifted to the claim that the mods being unreasonable wasn’t the source of the issue (and was thus irrelevant); when presented with evidence of the mods putting up that selfsame unreasonable argument in the thread in dispute, you said it wasn’t misinfo and was scientifically supported; and now that it’s been pointed out that scientific information to the contrary was deliberately removed in that very comment thread by the mods pushing their view which, by both the material of the argument (appeal to common sense) and context, was founded on deeply unscientific positions, you say that all of that is well and fine, but people in this thread are just using it as an excuse to hate on vegans; when I display that the most upvoted comments in this thread are far from hating on vegans, you decry me as engaging in ‘ragebait’.

    You’ve come in determined to defend the c/Vegan mods, and the realities of the situation be damned. It’s a reflexive reaction, and it’s bullshit, and it deserves to be called out as much.
