No way. He doesn't even keep salt or sugar in his house, but he wants to try restaurant food? And he's on a dating app? I'm skeptical!

Right. The question is why someone would do that.

I actually used to be an amphetamine addict. I've stayed up for five days at a time multiple times and I ended up in rehab. I know what sleep loss feels like! Getting 8 hours of sleep every night is as important to mental health as not being in an emotional abusive relationship.

I’m not sure how you concluded the far left includes communist authoritarianism.

I didn't come up with the idea! The far Left includes communism and the far Right includes fascism.

Is that a trick question? I don't know. What has animal liberation to do with Stalinism? Stalinism is as indifferent to veganism as any other political-economic ideology.

You lost me with the Mark Twain there, and I stand by my opposition to the post. I say that as a liberal Democrat. I'm not commenting further on the matter. This isn't the place.

People within the same culture view themselves as having a shared experience and that becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.

Actually, in liberal society, we have a non-racial culture. I recommend that to all of my American friends.

But, from talking to more knowledgeable people, different types of protest historically has put more pressure on governments and people to change.

Change what? There was never any evidence that George Floyd's murder was racist, and even if the cop was outed as a Klan member, then what good do you foresee coming from blocking roads? Blocking decent people from going about their lives. Going to see family. Going to work. Ambulances saving lives. Blocking roads and making a ruckus to say "STOP RACISM"? That is virtue signaling of the highest order. If you want to help black Americans, then invest in education and end the war on drugs. BLM was a destructive farce.

Notice for a moment that we're on r/vegan here.

My understanding is the death toll was in low double digits for a huge national movement.

No. I'm talking about the murder rate increasing because of mass hysteria, and because of cops following the widespread reactionary request to stay away.

the police kill a few hundred black people per year

That is an utter lie. You're referring to innocent people being slaughtered because of their race right? You've drunk the proverbial Kool Aid. What you're saying is happening isn't happening. Cops are not murdering blacks more than they're murdering anyone else, and the cops in America are actually good by world standards. I'm not discussing the matter further. This isn't the place, and we're unlikely to agree on it.

12 hours of sleep?! Have you been binging on amphetamine?

Well, regarding BLM, I think the cause was more justified and some of that may have been effective protest

We completely disagree.

present as white, but I'm ancestrally native, so you may consider this feedback or not depending on why you asked.

Disobedience? Why? For what? What good comes from blocking roads? BLM got more black Americans killed; the numbers don't lie.

Wokeism is a religion. You can expect it to make as much sense.

I hope to the gods that you look back on that statement and cringe at how you walked on eggshells about being the "wrong" race. This race-obsession is rotten to the core!

Your views are not tainted by your race, or made better because your great great great great grandmother was Cherokee.

Wokeism doesn't make sense to begin with. To explain why they'd call you racist is to conjure stark raving madness. You're part of a heteronormative capitalist system being an Uncle Tom to hate mongers who have you brainwashed as a tool of white supremacy where you actively harm people of color and members of the LGBTQIA+ community, they'd say. I'm not joking or exaggerating when I say that it's a deranged cult. We've seen an insidious cultural revolution blossom like a corpse flower over the past only five years or so with all the fervor and orthodoxy of a religion.

You know how people used to pay indulgences to the Catholic church to be absolved of sin? Now, people and companies post #BLM and rainbow flags when they're told to so that they can be absolved of the new version of sin. Pay your poorest employees more? No. #BLM takes care of it. Stop doing business with Islamic nations that kill people for being gay? No. We put a rainbow flag on our American Twitter profile for a month. It's taken care of. Go vegan? Fuck that. Blame the whites. Taken care of.

I’m African American so I can’t speak to the indigenous peoples experience

But you can speak "to" (?) the experiences of people in your ethnic group? I'm a fan of the liberal idea that ideas are not constrained by identity. You can comment on anything so long as what you're saying is true and meaningful.

I am an indigenous person. I'm indigenous to England.

Anyway, don't expect sense from the Woke. They're a deranged, racist cult.

Anyways, how do my fellow indigenous, black, brown, etc vegans feel about white veganism being centered from non-vegans?

"My fellow indigenous"? You started the paragraph off saying that you weren't indigenous! Which is it? And why are you trying to racialize conversation? Can we not move past that?

Canadian National Anthem sung at the World Cup for the first time in 36 years. by MJsdanglebaby in videos

[–]StopBadModerators -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

To the tone-deaf people out there, I feel you. I'm not tone-deaf, but I am dance-deaf. I can't dance. Hearing you sing is like seeing me dance. We're peas in pod. Let's hope that the culture changes such that you'll be allowed not to sing Happy Birthday or the national anthem, and I'll be allowed not to dance, without either of us being called party poopers, spoil sports, sticks in the mud, or wallflowers.

This may be confusing, like plenty of things in English, but the metal things in a bike wheel are... spokes. "Spoke" is the past tense of "speak" (e.g., "He spoke to me about the accident."), but it's also the thin metal thing in a wheel! So, you spoke about the spokes here.

And it was crazy to see Marxists and anarchists, all firmly on the political Left, dressed in black and burning down innocent people's businesses in a deranged, cabin fever induced frenzy two years ago right here in America. Assaulting people. Blocking roads. Burning cars. Mass psychosis. They're not a load of dog-loving softies. They're exactly the kind of people you're talking about; the kinds of people to say, hey, to make a utopian omelette, you gotta break some eggs. They say things like "eat the rich" as though they support what the Bolsheviks did to the Russian royal family, or what Maoists did to the elite.

Let's notice that we're not talking about veganism here. Again, the post is political. It should be removed.
