Those amendments are very selectively applied when it comes to any grassroots action that isn't fully right-wing. There is essentially no protection to speak against the state if they want to target you.

Vast majority of protesters arrested don't end up with any charges or a record, the police know this, but they still get their mugshot taken which gets posted online by right-wingers, doxxing them to potential political violence.

Don't you know, they aren't on the correct side, the evil Ruskys just wants to subvert American Democracy and Freedom™ however they can, so if they oppose a genocide it's just a coincidence.

A bald eagle squawking and swooping, pecking and killing children, that is the anthropomorphisation of America.

The loss of shareholder value will be so massive in the latter that I’d have to assume the US would just let it happen.

In my view because of this a proper WW3 won't happen soon, no one with enough money to pull the strings wants to risk it. Plenty of money for more proxy wars and economic espionage though.

The meat industry is organized animal abuse, there is no doubt about it. It doesn't have to be that way but by all accounts it is. If you can eat meat procured separately from these industrialized processes that is great, but that cannot be scaled to meet all current demands for meat.

Alright if you want to go that way, there was a legend of a Buddhist monk who let a hungry tiger eat him, if you really want to go all out just lay on the ground and let the earth take you.

I only ever see meat eaters argue about what the body needs or how our teeth are meant for meat. There is no way to argue that the modern meat industry isn't horrific, I think some carnists that react strongly to vegans unconsciously know this and react with anger because of guilt and shame.

Yeah, well it's still unfun!

I don't think Hamas has sniper drones shooting children coming and going from hospitals in Israel

The political establishment in Israel does not recognize Palestine, their goal has long been the eradication of the Palestinian nation.
