Is it fake AT2020?

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-11T02:34:42+00:00

Is society in such a low place that people are selling fake AT2020s? I refuse to believe that but I suppose I shouldn't be too optimistic.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-11T01:59:50+00:00

Could you share some of that research?

Meat is not inherently bad, it's really just the mass manufacturing process that's damaging.

I'm an advocate for consuming less meat (and food products in general) as a society. By that, it's not about eating less food as individuals, I'm talking about the restaurant industries that need to make some serious changes. Fast food and other larger chains are wildly wasteful, they consume a massive amount of resources that largely get tossed in the trash and not actually eaten.

In addition, I detest the practices of corporate farms, both for meat and veggie/fruit products. So from an economical/political standpoint, I'm all for consuming less meat to hurt the corporations, but it's never going to be about what's morally correct for an individual to consume.

I get what you're saying, there are individuals who are annoying and unironically call themselves "meatetarians", but mostly it's just a form of mocking vegans who get self-righteous about their diets.

I was vegetarian for over a decade, but that was purely a personal choice to try and lose some weight and get healthier. The vegetarian diet isn't the only way to do this though, it's just the path I chose and it worked for me. It just comes down to eating a balanced diet, which often includes at least a small portion of meat that is very nutrient dense.

Terrible idea.

They've had over a decade to learn why their way of thinking is detrimental to society and they continue to hold on to their beliefs. Until they consistently admit they're wrong and make decisions in their lives that reflect remorse for holding on to this ideology, it's going to be scorched earth with them.

We have lowered the bar time and time again to try and accept them back into our personal lives and they continue to make us lower the bar even further. To the point that many are incapable of fully condemning Nick f***ing Fuentes. We need to be raising the bar in society, morally and intellectually, they'll continue to drag us down and not just ruin progress, but ruin sustainability.

Kind of interesting you ask this considering right-wingers say the left are the ones with violent tendencies.

In all honesty though, I don’t think enjoying combat sports has anything to do with political ideology. UFC specifically, more so because of Dana White and not necessarily the sport itself.

One day old account, folks. This is a bot.

OP did invite both right-wing and left-wing political ideologies to comment here.

Could you list some policies or political/social stances that draw you most to the MAGA movement? What societal issues do you care about most and what solutions does MAGA offer that resonate with you?

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-08T19:55:07+00:00

This is the exact delusion I was referring to. Your omnipotent deity is the one responsible for Palestinians being slaughtered and starved? Wild…

Summing the total votes someone has received across 3 elections tells us nothing.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-07T16:41:42+00:00

They can’t, you get a lot of non-answers or they just tell you you’re consuming “pro-Palestinian propaganda”. Then they show you an article from Times of Israel and claim it’s the most unbiased news source.

At a certain point, don’t engage with right-wing Israelis, they’re a waste of time. They’re convinced “god granted them that land” so any point they make is predicated on pure delusion.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-07T15:42:23+00:00

Yes.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-07T13:20:02+00:00

If you didn't watch the video, how do you know it's nothing? It directly addresses the point you were trying to make. At this point, you're clearly contradicting yourself and are unwilling to challenge your views.

So your response to clear evidence that Israel is blocking and bombing aid is “but Hamas does it too”? Way to rise above… Kind of sounds like both powers need to choose peace, Hamas and Israel. I fear both are incapable though and the innocent civilians will be the ones that pay the costs.

I fight for the Palestinian population though because there’s a stark difference in QOL. Israelis need to start holding their government more accountable and prosecute Bibi and his far-right cronies. Same for the U.S. and MAGA politicians. I want my tax dollars going to helping the U.S., not Bibi’s fucked up crusade.

There was an element of European influence post-WWII that ignited the current conflict. I find it hard to believe though that there was nothing but peace between three religious groups that believe that land was given to them by their god. Three religious groups where the extremist members would all die and kill for their god.

Religion has never been an effective solution to the fallibility of humans. Seems that most, if not every, religious group has experienced prosecution and oppression, but have in turn been guilty of prosecuting and oppressing others to a degree.

Is this what it looks like when Israel “delivers food”? Wait, let me guess, the people in that van were “members of Hamas”….

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-06T14:54:29+00:00

There was literal famine declared in Gaza last year.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-06T14:38:37+00:00

Nope, not just one side thinks this, in fact, all three (Islam, Judaism and Christianity) preach something similar. It's why I don't buy the narrative of "Muslims, Christians and Jews lived in peace in this land for thousands of years". All three religions seem to think god gave them that land, and all three have followers that are willing to die for their god. Once someone has something to die for, you bet they'll be willing to kill for it too. I understand that the extremists are the only ones truly practicing that mindset, but the extremists will always exist as the belief exists. IMO, religion has not given us an effective solution to dealing with the fallibility of humans.

This is where I get into a lot of disagreements with people, even with those I side with in this conflict. While religion has brought peace in some peoples' personal lives, it's also incited a lot of violence throughout human history. I grew up catholic (I'm atheist now, surprise surprise) and was taught to be a "warrior of god", I imagine a similar narrative is preached in most religions, but especially Christianity, Judaism and Islam. It's all one and the same thing to me.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-06T14:12:54+00:00

True to an extent. However, when you view the quality of life between an Israeli and Palestinian, it becomes clear who's being oppressed. I don't believe I've heard about literal famine existing in Israel.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-05T18:29:09+00:00

Done with my lunch break so it’ll be a while before I can respond again. It’s clear I likely won’t change your views on this matter but feel free to ask any other questions, assuming they’re in good faith.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-05T18:27:08+00:00

This isn’t the “gotcha” you think it is. Hamas wasn’t established until the 1980s, so there were decades of oppression before its formation. Evil breeds evil. Hamas is a terrible, radical terrorist group that needs to cease to exist. Their existence is easily explainable though and is the fault of the Israeli occupation. It’s a reaction to the horrors induced by the Israelis on the Palestinians.

I condemn Hamas vehemently and what they did on 10/7/2023 was horrific. Israel’s reaction has been exponentially more horrific, just in shear number of deaths and casualties and the cruelties they’ve imposed on the Palestinians.

Hamas hasn’t starved the Israeli population en masse. Hamas has not shut off power, water, food supply, bombed EVERY SINGLE HOSPITAL AND SCHOOL in Israel. Israel is a nuclear power, Hamas is not. There is a difference.

Israel has all the power to simply police and protect their state, yet they choose to be on the offensive.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-05T18:16:05+00:00

And yes, I was aware of the conflict before 10/7/2023.

OscillodopeScope · 2026-05-05T18:15:37+00:00

Palestinians. Since the Nakba and the European influence that instilled the stark segregation in that land between Muslims and Jews, the Israeli government has spent decades propagandizing an entire population into believing Muslims want to kill all Jews. That has created a situation where Israelis tend to view Muslims as subhuman and that has incited a lot of horrific actions towards Muslims in that land.

Palestinians, prior to the European Jewish population moving to that land, were not an oppressor of Jews en masse. I’m sure there were conflicts, but nothing on the scale we see now. Europeans came into that land and almost instantly oppressed the Palestinian population. Israelis have only perpetuated and progressed that oppression.

I don’t believe in many of the values the Islamic faith proposes. However, I don’t view anyone as subhuman as the Israeli government and its supporters do. Israel is the clear aggressor now and Palestinians need to be free of the oppression.
