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.
If so, that’s what’ll make me finally give up electoralism forever. Harris v. Hawley 2024 = pain
Yes, and don’t forget that rape is more “natural” than masturbation. It’s just math!
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?
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.
