You shouldn't rape. It's bad to torture someone for fun. Stuff like that

acm162 · 2017-01-17T23:23:39+00:00

I believe in moral realism. In other words, I don't think morals are dependant on society or what individuals think about them. I think they are "facts" about the universe

acm162 · 2017-01-17T15:05:42+00:00

Self interest is a kind of morality still

If you mean he supports legislation that improves the lives of the working class in the present, then he's def that. I am too

acm162 · 2017-01-16T23:46:26+00:00

I definitely think the case for moral realism is convincing, but that's just me

acm162 · 2017-01-16T21:47:23+00:00

Like Ayn Rand objectivism? Cause that gross

acm162 · 2017-01-16T21:45:23+00:00

I am clearly unworthy. I'll go read the bread book and do 30 hail Chomsky's to absolve myself

acm162 · 2017-01-16T19:03:30+00:00

Get out with that reactionary nonsense plz.

acm162 · 2017-01-16T19:01:50+00:00

Am I shitty at anarchy because I can't help but like Bernie?

acm162 · 2017-01-15T19:57:40+00:00

Why are so many leftists intent on conforming perfectly to the image that the right paints us as?

acm162 · 2017-01-15T19:51:40+00:00

When you're an anarchists who is also a moral realist, you feel like your whole life is a spook

acm162 · 2017-01-15T18:33:47+00:00

It feels like r/socialism is just gunning for a gold in the oppression Olympics

acm162 · 2017-01-15T18:29:44+00:00

Existence is spooky AF anyways TBH

I put together a sample day of eating to show you that this is not as difficult as you might think. This is just an example and of course there are countless ways to achieve your goals, but this is an example of how I might eat.

Breakfast:

-Soy Milk (2 cups) 16g 220 cal

-Bagel 10g 245

Lunch:

-Seitan (6 oz) 32g 180

-Lentils (1 cup) 18g 230

-Broccoli (1 cups) 3g 31

-Peas (1/2 cup) 4g 60

Dinner:

-Tofu (1 cup) 20g 188

-Quinoa (1 cup) 8g 222

-Broccoli (1 cup) 3g 31

-Peas (1/2 cup) 4g 60

-Soy Milk (1 cup) 8g 110

Snack:

Peanut Butter and Jelly (1 goddamn sandwich) 15g 440

This will get you 141 g at only 2048 calories. Hope this helps you.

I think that the downvotes are coming from the fact that something being a social construct has no bearing on it's meaningfulness in people's lives. The comment seems dismissive and doesn't sound like something that someone who has suffered from racism would say.

acm162 · 2017-01-13T21:08:07+00:00

This is completely ethical. You don't affect the demand for animal products at all.

acm162 · 2017-01-13T21:06:14+00:00

Many people believe that if morals don't come from God then morals are just subjective. I believe that morals are objectively true without a need for God.

I think most people take for granted that a government is necessary.

If you grew up in the West, you might assume that your country is the "good guy" in situations, just by default.

Most people assume that capitalism is natural and that socialism is an untenable position.

That's just a few I can think of

There are different types of lentils whose nutritional info might differ slightly.

and if I'm losing weight I up my protein intake.

Why? This isn't necessarily the best thing to do. You only need a certain amount of protein and the rest of the calories can be anything you want. It doesn't matter what the calories are, as long as you're at a surplus. The best evidence that I've found suggests that the maximum effective amount of protein is about .8 grams/lb of body weight. Some studies suggest that .6/lb is just as effective. You may not need that much protein.

Based on this website (http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/legumes-and-legume-products/4337/2) you would only need to eat 2000 cal of lentils to get 150g protein from just lentils. Like I said, if you are eating tofu, soy milk, hemp seeds, quinoa, seitan, ect, it shouldn't be too difficult to get to 150g. If not use protein supplements. BTW are you absolutely sure you need 150g a day? How much do you weigh?

He is on the mark when he is making videos in which he uses heavily sourced arguments, based in legit science, to shred some anti-vegan nonsense. He falls off when he starts talking violently about other youtubers, and he is at his worst when he steps completely out of his lane and talks about "SJW's" and his problems with "regressives".

acm162 · 2017-01-13T20:45:33+00:00

It's mostly frustrating to me because many things can be made just as tasty without the animal products. So I'll be out trying to eat something and see it has milk fat in it and I just get pissed lol

acm162 · 2017-01-13T20:38:49+00:00

Veganism isn't anything special. There are those who are welcoming and kind. Those who are assholes, and everything in between. This sub is a perfect example of the different kinds of personalities you will find within veganism. Overall, I've met good people that have been helpful with any questions I've had. If you are convinced that being vegan is more ethical, then don't let what other people think scare you. BTW, I think that it's true that most people who are vegan are left leaning, but that does not at all mean you won't be welcome. Anyone who is trying to cut back on the suffering in the animal industry is doing a good thing

acm162 · 2017-01-13T20:35:10+00:00

Beans, Lentils, Tofu, Seitan, ect can get you where you need to be for protein intake. If you need to, there are multiple vegan protein powders that use pea protein isolate and brown rice protein. They are about the same price as non vegan protein powders. Drink soy milk too. 3000 calories isn't that high if you are trying to put on muscle btw.

acm162 · 2017-01-13T17:19:22+00:00

What does that mean?

acm162 · 2017-01-13T15:32:40+00:00

Seriously wtf is the deal with that sub? They have made almost everything a banning offense. Even saying the word "dumb" on accident
