Virtually nobody who eats meat feels guilty about it
I felt guilty about it and became a vegetarian and, once I leaned about how milk and eggs lead to death and suffering, a vegan. I have been so for 10 years plus now.
Animals are there to be food.
Yes, but only in the same sense that woman are there for the plesure and serving of men. It's a social construction and is, as it thankfully has with the perception of woman, changing.
If there was a life form that could eat me it would, and I'd have to accept that.
I don't think so. I think you'd ramble in about how unethical it is to eat a sentient beeing and how cruel this hypothetical lifeform is. Because that's how we are build. It's easiest for us to feel empathie towards our own sorry asses.
You can learn to expand your empathie tough. Start here. Watch it completely. No skipping. Then we can talk:
The report by the special rapporteur also accuses Palestinian militias, including those involved in the October 7 massacres in Israel, of violating human rights. Albanese states that the Israeli occupation and the Gaza blockade does not justify the actions of Palestinian armed groups. The report further implies that their indiscriminate rocket attacks against Israeli civilians and children can be viewed as war crimes. However, the report concludes that Israel’s brutal reprisals on Gaza’s densely populated residential areas also cannot be justified.
This sums up this whole mess rather well.
Nobody bothered to give any arguments against it tough..?
Here is what he wrote. Judge for yourself.

Now, I doubt that many of these blokes were shagging each other, not least because, for religious reasons, none of them drink, so it was hard to lower their inhibitions. But after a long smoke and a lot of flattery, Mo was fairly easily coaxed. Of course, he seemed a bit hung-up about it afterwards. Since I was nearing the end of my undercover gig, I tried to persuade him that perhaps gay people weren't evil, especially in light of the fact that he had just been having wild gay sex.
Slam-cut to LA and Russ. He was a harder nut to crack, but at least he could (and did) drink an awful lot of vodka. I'll spare you the details: suffice it to say that Germany did successfully invade Poland. So what's the moral of this tale? Part of me wants to trumpet it as a victory for gay rights. Even in the most intense centres of homophobia and gay-bashing, you can still find the odd bit of sodomy. We are, quite literally, everywhere, including (literally) inside homophobes. Part of me is a bit ashamed - in the cold light of day, both Russ and Mo have some pretty repulsive views. But there's something uniquely rewarding about bagging a homophobe. In fact, I reckon that this should be the new path for the gay rights movement. Every gay reader of the Guardian should henceforth dedicate himself to seducing every gay-basher they can find. Our response to hatred shouldn't be to hate back; it should be to give them a jolly good seeing-to.
I know you are making fun and all, but things like this are indeed reproduced.
Basicly it's a process of cultural and collective copy and pasting, where media and indivulas reproduce a concept by either activly using it (or not) or passives acepting it.
It's a bit more complex than that, but you probably get the idea.
Wer benutzt denn den Wahl-o-Mat?
Fand ich auch mal ne spannende Frage.
https://www.bpb.de/themen/wahl-o-mat/177430/die-nutzer-des-wahl-o-mat
Bei der letzten Bundestagswahl waren es immerhin knapp 21 Millionen Menschen.
Allerdings sind drei Viertel der Nutzer Menschen mit Hochschulabschluss. Dafür verteilt er sich auf alle Altersklassen. Und Männer nutzen ihn viel eher als Frauen.
Das Gros der Leute wählt doch nach Bauch
Ist somit zumindest nicht komplett aus der Luft gegriffen.
Fair.
82 % Der Deutschen sind der Meinung, dass Klima nicht das Wichtigste oder Zweitwichtigste Thema ist.
Besser?
Ich war ziemlich schockiert, als ich das gestern gelesen habe, weil es mir vor Augen geführt hat, wie sehr ich in einer Bubble lebe. In meinem Umfeld ist das Thema Klima sehr präsent. Anscheinend nur dort.
Ich beschäftige mich jetzt seit mindestens drei Jahren intensiv mit dem Thema Klimawandel (als Laie), höre Podcasts, lese Berichte und Orginalstudien, etc. und halte die Klimakrise für das wichtigste Thema der Menschheit. Mit Abstand. Weil so viel davon abhängt, wie gut oder schlecht wir damit umgehen.
Und dann sieht man sowas... 82 % der Bevölkerung halten das Thema nicht für relevant. Und in ganz Europa werden die Menschen, die dagegen protestieren und versuche, ein Bewusstsein zu schaffen, kriminalisiert und mit Terroristen gleichgesetzt, drakonisch bestraft (siehe z.B. GB, wo zwei friedliche Aktivisten zu je drei Jahren verurteilt wurden) und in gesellschaftlichen Diskurs egal ob durch Medien oder Politik nur als Störenfriede gelabelt.
Ich fange langsam an jegliche Hoffnung zu verlieren. Meine Kinder werden in einer von rechten Arschlöchern regierten und von Hitze, Dürre, Wasserknappheit und Multikrisen zerrissenen Welt aufwachsen und es macht mich bitter und traurig das wir da sehenden Auges reinrennen.
Musste raus. Sry fürs rumgedoome.
