Then there’s the whole silencing of Hong Kong, and I don’t now enough to say what happened there, so I won’t. Just know something did.

I. NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

It won’t do!

It won’t do!

You must investigate!

You must not talk nonsense!

“The Soviet Union liberated Europe from fascism, and Europe will never forgive them for it.”

The invisible white supremacy at the center of liberalism: “You can’t believe what those people say about their country; they’re inherently untrustworthy. Only the word of white people is credible.”

The fact that you and I are allowed to post about America’s past transgressions and speak highly critically of the government (and believe it or not, I do that quite a lot) is proof that we as a global superpower are freer than them

I’ll be sure to tell this to my friend who got his skull cracked and phone stolen by cops for protesting our involvement in Israel’s genocide.

Compared to what?

Unless we’re calling substantial swathes of Amerika fundamentally uncreative and fundamentally inhuman

Just after Kremlin stops funding nazis in my country

I would’ve thought you would appreciate the Nazis since back in '41 they brought you the liberation from Russia you so sorely desire

Supporting Israel or health insurance companies is advocating for violence.

It’s still projection. You are incapable of caring about the genocide of millions, and so you assume that everyone else is too.

P.S.

war thing everyone gets so invested in yet no one does anything about beyond participating in thinly veiled socialization rituals and including symbols of support into their wardrobes and memes.

I can see how you’d think that if you didn’t make any attempt at all to understand what Angel was trying to tell you.

This is a discussion about piracy.

You’re the one who brought up veganism you complete fucking clown

Carnists don’t count

Insects, crustaceans, and mollusks do not have any form of consciousness.

I do not believe animals to be sentient

And why do you believe that?

I do not equate death or servitude with suffering.

So you wouldn’t have any objections if you were taken as a slave and worked to death, right? Because those aren’t suffering?

I have no issues with someone not supporting animal torture, but I take issue with self-righteous people such as yourself who can’t help but talk about how superior their choices are.

There is no functional difference between your original text and my bolded replacement. To be a carnist is to, through your actions, support animal torture.

Same reason vegans hate on omnivores - they’ve taken the high road and the benefits are small while the cost is high.

Nah, that’s not why we hate you

You’re not beating the allegations
