I approve of this great Bad meme!

I have not bought a single blåhaj from Ikea but I have hand-sewn and gifted away multiple ones, since they are a fun piece of queer culture and some of my friends love them.

You’d be surprised how much of pop-culture has historically been shaped by advertisement and marketing campaigns. Feel free to completely boycott these trends, be aware however that this level of ideological purism is at best ineffectual, and at worst highly isolating.

I for one like having fun at times and it has not changed my opinion on the necessity of abolishing capitalism in the slightest. I’m sorry for your cynicism.

You can apply this argument to basically any non “piss poor hobby artist makes this in freetime” piece of culture.

Of course blåhaj is a commodity produced by a large corporation. And almost any sufficieny large corporation will employ anti-union tactics. This is not surprising at all since it’s a necessity for corporations to act like this under capitalism.

I still like blåhaj because it brings some of my friends joy. That’s all.

Blåhaj has transcended its status as a commodity produced by an evil megacorp

This is how cobol was created

truly passing the vibe check

Some natives to the Americas completely wiped trees from their area

A counterexample only falsifies universally quantified statements, not existentially quantified statements. My point was that there are historical and present examples of humans living in relative harmony with their environment so it is not a necessity, that we destroy the environment as humanity per se.

Are you arguing there has never been a form of civilisation/community that didn’t destroy their environment or are you arguing they are so few and far between that we should consider them anomalies to the supposed human nature of destroying the environment?

The former is a nigh indefensible claim the latter is somewhat easier to defend but would still require more than an example to be convincing.

It’s also incorrect, since many forms of human communities have existed which did live in an equilibrium with the environment… You know, until we expropriated and killed them to accumulate more resources for capitalism

Felt that one

We are currently driving the next mass extinction event.

Like fascism?

FYI: This ☝️. This is why people don’t like the lgbtq+ movement. It has nothing to do with who you’re attracted to or what gender you feel you are and has everything to do with the militantly self-righteous, condescending, preachy, holier-than-thou attitude you run around with.

As a queer person I’ve read plenty of comments like these. It’s a common fallacious argument against liberatory movements that people who perpetuate the status quo use to defend their indifference to injustice by deflecting blame onto the people who call out their complicity. If you see veganism not as a lifestyle but as a movement for the libration of animals everything clicks.

If this lab grown “meat” can be created in petri dishes or whatever without animal exploitation and suffering then it will be vegan by definition.

Edit: Ah it’s not lab grown meat but genetically altered animals that they farm. :/

“Water is wet”-type post :D

Fr. I was expecting scrumptious woke mindvirus infection content, not this

I mean duh, red lightsabers and all

But why?

Relentless propaganda about “migration crisis” and economic decline mostly.

Die Welt dreht sich nicht um euch und euren desolaten Staat.
