carbrained bullshit from the guardian as usual. do they wanna cite statistics or even a source on “many motorists, however, resent the changes”? of course not, evidence-free bothsidesing of vehicular deaths it is

this is an amazing study in how to go carefully, point-by-point, through something, and refute none of it.

Existing relationship (boss) might not be leading with compersion 🙃

fucking your neighbor’s pet cat is morally neutral

yeah this is turning out to be as wild as I expected

also already covered by rule #3

so you think all humans have rights to do any kinds of violent, invasive acts to any animal, as long as they call it a “veterinary procedure”? is there anything a human could do to an animal which you would classify as “rape”?

and getting a giant steel horn implanted in your forehead would be a cosmetic procedure, but i guess you’d be pretty upset if someone did it to you without asking?

artificial insemination would fit the legal definition of rape in several jurisdictions in the world if you did it to a human.

how do you think dairy cows are always pregnant if they’re not being forcibly impregnated 🤔🤔

if you eat or drink any dairy products then you have almost certainly paid a company to rape some animals for you.

“yeah, keep doing that and some useless fuck will spectacularly fail to assassinate you, giving a huge boost to your election campaign, take that!”

Sure, like any other wildly unethical job there’s a spectrum of different people’s privilege and ability to easily cut out to a less cartoonishly evil job – I would hold Person A with a background in cybersecurity and no dependants a lot more responsible for every day they remain a cop than Person B who joined police academy straight out of high school and is supporting 5 children etc.

But saying that Person B should be excluded from “fuck cops” – that is, that there should be an exception to the general cultural work of making it socially unacceptable to be part of a murderous, racist, unjust, reactionary paid army – is supporting the institution that you’re claiming to be against. Waiting until a complete societal transformation before campaigning for people to not take blood money (your euphemistic “consciousness price”) is valuing Person B’s economic solvency over the lives of the people they (or, being generous, just their colleagues) will harass, target, frame, and even kill.

“the problem is the institution, not the people actively participating in the institution in exchange for money and power” what

then I spent a minute like “what does ‘tyrann’ mean, is this a warhammer thing?”

the correct answer was “any part of the background pattern” because it’s not got a photo of a purchaseable product yet but it will do as soon as more sponsorship deals come in
