This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.
This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.
We have a Matrix homeserver and a Matrix space. See this thread for more information. If you believe the server may be down, check the status on status.elara.ws.
Rules:
- No bigotry, anti-communism, pro-imperialism or ultra-leftism (anti-AES)
- We support indigenous liberation as the primary contradiction in settler colonies like the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Israel
- If you post an archived link (excluding archive.org), include the URL of the original article as well
- Unless it's an obvious shitpost, include relevant sources
- For articles behind paywalls, try to include the text in the post
- Mark all posts containing NSFW images as NSFW (including things like Nazi imagery)

My understanding of this thread is that I:
told rjs001 that I didn't agree with the root of their argument (the specie-ism argument for veganism).
I attempted to avoid this very conversation by "agreeing to disagree" - we've all seen this argument play out, and know no one is changing their mind.
You chose to ignore my wishes, and plunged ahead with the same argument we've all seen, ostensibly to evangelize.
This reads, to me, as a really gross attempt to backdoor out of the conversation by acting like your personal choice to be a vegan is being criticized.
It is not. I am happy that you are happy with your choices, and the diet you've chosen.
You've moved from grandiose statements about me ("Either all conscious life is sacred, none of it is, or the life that you care about or directly benefits you is sacred") to "I" statements.
You are very welcome to be a vegan. You are not welcome to use your spiritual understanding to persuade me to be a vegan. I don't talk to Mormon missionaries for a reason.
I'm happy for you. You're welcome to your religious understanding. I do not share it.
I do not want to re-hash an argument over the specie-ism argument for veganism.
If you can't link that argument to Marxism, I would like you to leave me alone about it, please.
