Please crack down on VCJ refugees being toxic outside of their own comm. You say in this post that vegans will be allowed to criticize non-vegans, and that’s fine, but toxicity is not. If you foster a space where calling comrades “bloodmouth murderers and r*pists” is considered cool and good, the hostility of the past few days won’t be going away.
In all seriousness, are there actually people who think that you should buy copies of old stuff on ebay instead of downloading it? The creators and publishers make no money either way
If so, that’s what’ll make me finally give up electoralism forever. Harris v. Hawley 2024 = pain
It also really bothers me how much they hate autistic people. They use “autistic” (and other less nice terms) to mean “cringe,” and throw around the R-word like it’s nothing. Combine that with their transphobia and they give off Kiwi Farms energy.
Yes, and don’t forget that rape is more “natural” than masturbation. It’s just math!
The children of billionaires will surely grow up to be as horrible as their parents should they be allowed to inherit their wealth. Should we execute the children of billionaires as well?
The only good justification for killing the Romanov children is that their deaths eliminated the chance of restoring the monarchy should the revolution fail. This is the only justification we should use on the libs when they say “noooo evil commies killed the princess.”
Posting about Vaush is haram.
The old Chapo sub used to grow by people seeing our posts and comments on other subs, checking out our profiles, and finding chapo in our comment history. What I did on Reddit was make a post to my own profile with a link to this site, and pinned it. That’s less likely to get us new users than it was on Reddit, but it’s better than nothing.
Holy fuck we can put pictures in comments?
wait, it’s all trans rights?
always has been
This connects with something I often find myself pondering whenever capitalism-defenders claim that selfishness and greed are just “human nature.”
If I had to boil human nature down to one simple concept, it’s self-preservation. They’re right in a sense, that this drive for self-preservation manifests as selfishness and greed, but only because we live in a capitalist society that pits people against each other and encourages selfish behavior. They take this symptom of capitalism and use it as a justification. If society rewarded cooperation and punished selfish behavior, we’d see people acting very differently.
I believe this tendency to “hustle” arises out of the irrationality of our system. Even if you grow up with a comfortable amount of money, you can take all the right steps that the meritocracy-believers tell you to and still get screwed. This is especially the case in times like now when inequality is increasing and everyone except the very richest is downwardly mobile. People are incentivized to accumulate as much of a financial cushion as they can, as they can lose it at any moment. This is where the hustle comes in – people are constantly looking for a way out, for some way to get a lot of money very quickly and not only escape precariousness for the time being, but to have enough of a cushion to never be poor again.
