      Nature is an asshole. Huge CW:

      Do we murder, rape, eat our own children?

      Appealing to nature is just lazy, humans aren't part of nature. We live in a society

        No. Those are generally rejected in human relations. I'm talking about the relationship humans have to nature. I'm not saying humans should model their behavior off some species or another.

        humans aren’t part of nature

        I fucking hate settlers lol

      Yes, humans very much evolved as a predator. We have always dominated the weak among us and taken from them without remorse. The history of humanity is one of conquest and violence. There is no other way, embrace this reality.

        Darwinism & Social Darwinism are the same thing.

      Humans have evolved as a predator to other species, and other species have evolved to be prey to humans.

        Me, discovering the concept of "hunting" on an online Leftist forum:

        "Wow, so people just LARP as wolves?"

          Modern industrial farming is exactly like hunter gatherer tribes. Human society can never progress past that point and consider moral or ethical points that go beyond the level of someone bashing a rock over someone elses head to steal someone elses dead elk.

                You are correct. Cultures which still hunt are just "ooga booga me smash rock." They are incapable of developing a morality or philosophy which incorporates their relationship to prey.

                    I said that people still hunt in a cooperative way with nature, and I was met with:

                    Oh, so you think you're a wolf

                    Human society can never progress past that point and consider moral or ethical points that go beyond the level of someone bashing a rock over someone elses head to steal someone elses dead elk.

                    These were both incredibly racist & chauvinistic.

                    No one said this to me, but I would agree if someone did say this.

                  They are incapable of developing a morality or philosophy which incorporates their relationship to prey.

                  And one of those might be vegetarianism or veganism, out of a respect in recognising the sentience of other animals and seeking to reduce their harm, you fucking moron.
