"Blame shifting" feels like a way to offset consumer guilt and permit bad habits.
If everyone bought food from places that don't waste food products, the big chains that DO would go out of business.
If everyone drove electric, oil companies would hugely reduce oil extraction.
If everyone went vegan, 20% of the entire planets greenhouse gases would immediately cut.
YOU are the enabler of these companies. YOU have the power to stop them.
Men want women like this because it eases their insecurities.
Insecure men see women as a rare commodity (because they're not confident in their abilities with women), and a clingy jealous gf is (in theory) less likely to leave them.
It's another reason why men want younger women, they're more likely to look up to you than an equal, easier to ensure the commodity is secure.
Boy I wish this ire could be directed at the animal farming industry, who also take the babies from the mother (but this time to kill and eat the babies), whilst also keeping the mother perpetually pregnant to rinse and repeat the process.
All the while contributing 15-20% of the entire planets greenhouse gas emissions.
Boy I sure do wish.
This episode originally aired in 1999. The N64 was still current gen hardware, google was only a year old, Bill Clinton was the US President, the first iPod was still 2 years away.
The problem is, being petty is against lefty values. Take King Charles and his fat fingers. When lefty's were making of him, there were probably a few fat fingered innocents out there with the same condition who felt self conscious. And that's unfair. Making fun of appearances is untargeted and hurts those in the crossfire. But the problem is IT'S SO EFFECTIVE FOR OPTICS AND MORALE.
So either we give up that effective campaign for ethical reasons, or we just collectively let some people take the L for the advancement of leftist morale and publicity. It's a doozy!
Not me! Crispr will save me and I'll live forever actually SORRY
This is the video that convinced me to drop Spotify after 7 years to join Tidal.
It's a long watch, but high quality and entertaining to boot!
Oh god I didn't even notice I was replying to you.
Gross, you're the worst, most bad faith debater I've ever had the displeasure of talking to.
You don't argue in any sense of data or fact, just shitty little retorts amounting to nothing more than "no, actually".
Don't bother replying, I'm blocking you across all instances until you get an education, maybe when you turn 18 or something.
Meat products are, per kilo, much more costly for their nutrient profiles compared with plant based alternatives. Any time meat is comparable, this is because of government subsidies. There's a reason third world countries rely on plant based foods, because they're objectively cheaper.
There are many cultural practises that we've left in the past. Culture is not an excuse for doing objectively amoral things. I can't say it's my culture to sacrifice children, even if it is.
I'd put convenience under the umbrella of pleasure. If we all lived our life based on convenience, people would drink drive, people wouldn't care about consent, just because it's easier doesn't mean it's right.
If my morality was based on whether it cause friction with my family, what weak morals I would have? "In this house, we say the N word!", "okay yes sorry mum, here I go saying the n word again!" Like, stick up for what's right, don't crumble because it might upset those who are objectively morally incorrect.
Plant based food is objectively cheaper, culture doesn't permit amoral acts, convenience isn't a valid reason to do wrong, and if mild social pressure from family is enough to cause one to act immoral, then those morals were pretty flimsy to begin with.
Why doesn't your mother take a vitamin?
You're saying two different things. On one hand "I support people making better purchasing decisions", then on the other hand, "but it's meaningless".
God I can't stand people who argue for a systemic change of capitalism, but who are so defeatist to go "but my widdle purchasing power is meaningless uwu".
You LITERALLY CAN BUY YOUR WAY OUT OF CAPITALISM. What a moronic argument, if we all stop buying product A, companies have to stop selling product A. Except you're out here going "oh guys keep buying product A if you want, it's doesn't make a difference ๐"
