How can an objectivist support the state forcibly moving people off the land people are entitled to, and worked for with the sweat of their brow?
Ive always really hated libertarians, and double these people, because the libertarians i know would hate it.
I feel tricked ibto reading thst. It just lists a bunch of problems and offers no solution but "be better and no sociakism allowed."
I value efficiency so much and that makes me sad that the defibulator didnt get used. People made it for that purpose. Its an insult to any of the workers who loved their jobs.
I cant really empathize with animals like how i can people. I hit possums with my car on the way to work all the time (once a month or so). Its unavoidable because they charge into the road and its too windy to move out of the way usually.
If i hit even one person id never live with the guilt and quit my job. Its unfair to expect 1 possum to equal 1 human. I understand you dont expect that. However, how many possums would i have to hit before it was enough for me to care much? It would have to be like when the cicadas come out - piles and piles of them for miles. I just value my husband having nice things more than the lives of those rodents, even though i like rodents a lot.
So the meat industry is basically a giant concentration camp of suffering, but im unsure if the suffering outweighs all the workers it employs, or evsn ths fact that they taste good.
At the same time, their suffering has value. Im excited for clone meat and i eat a lot of vegetables. It could easilly be that i cant empathize with them because of class consiousness similar to poor roman citizens not caring about the plight of slaves.
So, if veganism benefitted my class id be more enthusiastic in becoming a vegetarian instead of just using meat in moderation. It would have to be something about how me not eating meat or doing local activism for animals helps. I cant change society and me not buying meat wont actually help animals.
For example, my local activism was beneficial to people like me because it gave them a support network and community.
Im so powerless to do anything. It makes me feel good that someone in a position to help somehow is.
My biggest rival in activism for homeless people was a city council member with a bernie sanders complex. Theyre all the same.
You seem really nice :)
Energy drinks. I havw an addiction and not in the joke way.
I'm going to interpret poorly educated as badly educated as opposed to just not.
Imo the best sign of someone who has been brought up wrong is a total inability to tell the difference between what is legal and what is moral. Don't smoke weed because its illegal. Those homeless people shouldn't have slept outside if they didn't want to be arrested. Nazis should be allowed to march in the ghetto. I've heard all of those from people that have been raised wrong. They don't have any capacity for care, and they're basically just robots fullfilling whatever function they've been told is expected of them. Their hobby is watching tv. They have a wife that they never talk to.
Rofl. I'm so glad that these rich people get to suffocate. They each paid 200000 to board that coffin!
I've been bothered by Communists before. At least in real life they help homeless people and trans kids. It's at least better than being mass shooters like Nazis.
There have been a lot of situations where I've had communists helping me with my social work giving out narcan to addicts. I never turn down their help and they're less preachy than the Christians, which I also let help me.
At least there haven't been any Lenin brigades where they paste the full content of the Communist Manifesto in every thread. Then I'd have a problem with them lol.
No it is uour duty to make friends and convince them through the gratitude they feel for the good you have done.
