There are plenty of right wingers who eat a vegan diet, but I would say it's impossible to be right wing and and support animal liberation. You can't abolish the exploitation of non-human animals without getting rid of capitalism.

Humanely electrocuting you and then humanely cutting your throat before I humanely dismember you and eat your corpse <3

Empathetic should be an empty plate

That isn't what either of those words mean

I already agreed that self defense is justified. My point is that our enemies weren't born evil, they were shaped by material forces just like everyone else. If they're an obstacle to progress and can't be reformed I'm not against execution, but it should be done for practical reasons, not as punishment. That's christian morality shit.

(Fantasizing about torture is totally fine so if you weren't 100% serious please disregard this)

ChatGPT currently produces unworkable garbage if you try to get any kind of high level writing out of it. Seems a bit unnecessary to worry about "model collapse" when the models aren't actually useful yet.

Our enemies aren't ontologically evil, they're caught up in systems beyond human control just like the rest of us. Violence against them is justified because it's necessary to change things, but if a peaceful revolution were possible I would advocate for that instead. Torture is unjustifiable because it accomplishes nothing. It's just harm for harm's sake, and as a leftists a core part of my worldview is that we should minimize the harm inflicted on any living being.

Is it "amplifying fascist rhetoric" to criticize democrats? I think everyone on this site would agree it isn't, and how is this situation any different?

I am once again thankful for our transphobe-obliterating mods :trans-hammer-sickle:

Tesla’s 17 fatal crashes reveal distinct patterns, The Post found: Four involved a motorcycle. Another involved an emergency vehicle.

They don't elaborate on these "patterns" at all after this. J o u r n a l i s m

The photo may be buried in china; unclear whether or not it's forgotten because we no way of checking with the Chinese people...

It is literally impossible to speak to a Chinese person. All 1.4 billion of them are being held at gunpoint by Xi Jinping.

I remember when the site started there was a while where the mods were purging transphobes left and right. Shows what good moderation does :trans-heart:

Fuck yeahhhh I'm seeing them next week

I mostly leave them alone, after I stab a sharp metal hook through their mouth I usually don't even kill them!

:grillman: :farquaad-point:

Holy shit read articles before you post them people it's not that hard

Many of these stances seem in retrospect to have been deeply misguided

But at the time, at the height of the Cold War’s confrontation and competition between the US and the Soviet Union, they were hardly misguided.

:thonk:

This should be pinned to the top of the website I stg

republican sympathies

Real 18th century shit

I do not understand the connection between this

Young people these days are even more in-your-face, “toxic”, nasty etc than the teens I knew growing up.

And this

Amphibia and other Disney channel stuff have faster dialogue and animation sequences than stuff from 20 years ago.

FPS shooters have become faster.
