I mean even if they get offered loads to make racist dogwhistles they still can choose not to draw them - plus I doubt somebody pays her to keep wanting to say the n-word on xitter

Later in the episode, the pair discussed West’s diamond-encrusted swastika necklace. Earlier this year, the rapper sold swastika T-shirts on his site.”

“You know a Jew sold him that,” said Rogan of the necklace, to which Segura responded “probably.”

I know I'll get downvoted for this but I believe if you're vegan you really shouldn't have pets.

Having a pet means claiming total control over another sentient being's existence - deciding where they live, what they eat, their medical care, whether and with whom they can breed, and even when they die.

The usual justifications (they're happy, well-cared for, etc) still don't resolve the power imbalance. If keeping a human locked up from birth would be fucked up even if they were happy and loved you, then having that same level of control over an animal's life can't be ethical either.

The fact that we bred them to be dependent doesn't justify continuing a cycle of exploitation - it just highlights how deep the ethical problem goes.

PS. Caveat is injured wildlife that is being rehabilitated to be released back into the wild or animals that would find it literally impossible to survive on their own - ie end-of-life care or strays that will be euthanized - tho this means you should be actively dismantling the pet industry as well instead of just having pets but with an "ethical" undertone

Again, vote for the lesser evil - just don't forget they're evil and even after the election cycle is over continue to employ direct action to force the complicit ruling class into actually doing something - instead of being able to rely on "vote blue no matter who" voters to get elected year after year while they're slowing sliding to the right trying to win over conservatives.

Some of my rights have already been taken away under the current Supreme Court and I’m not willing to risk the rights of myself and others for the sake of some self-righteous quest.

Finally, I respect you for going mask off - you're not willing to lose your freedom for somebody outside your country - you believe your lives cost more than theirs and doing anything that puts you at risk is not worthwhile.

We can’t completely dismantle the system in a week so what else can we do right now?

Have you tried taking direct action against weapon manufacturers? Going to Harris rallies and calling her out for supporting genocide? Convincing others to take drastic measures instead of just voting for the lesser evil? Those are small things that actually help dismantle the system - voting doesn't.

The first mistake was bartering with moderates - if a person is willing to compromise on genocide - what would they not be willing to compromise on?

MLK said it 60 years ago and it's still true today: “…that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Councilor or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: ‘I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action’; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a ‘more convenient season'"

But keep waiting and hoping that next cycle the window wouldn't have moved further to the right

Oh sick is Kamala campaigning on that??

I understand juggling the current political hellscape with a child is nightmarish but building a movement behind a better political system would be the first step in allowing people to vote for better options and resolve the myriad of issues you've listed - until then saying to "keep the cart behind the horse" only means we'll continue bickering in the backseat while the obviously broken two-party state drives us all off the edge.

And I get that between work and family finding time to be politically active can be challenging but I would hope you can find an hour or two a month to join your local RCV advocacy group and help create a better political environment for yours and everybody else's children.

Idk I personally can empathize with people that have been forced by the Zionist regime to indiscriminately kill civilians "for the greater good" without necessarily blaming the individuals themselves..

Like I don't question there are IOF soldiers that are bloodthirsty and see Palestinians as less than human target practice - but I also doubt that a person that experiences severe PTSD and takes their own life was like "hell yeah let's bulldoze some Palestinian kids!1!" - I think this just shows that while the Zionist genocidal machine massively harms Palestinians first and foremost - it also has a detrimental effect on its own citizens (see Vietnamese war veterans) - so while it may seem "just" to clown on the puppets carrying out the genocide on the ground - some of them are still just mislead people that have been fed on an abundant diet of hasbara 🤷🏽‍♀️
