I think every army that had to defend their home country would have preferred doing other things, and until 2022 i honestly tought that invasions were a thing of the past, at least in Europe. Russia showed otherwise, now i think that being capable of defending yourself is important. You dont have to have a ginormous army like the US but you have to be enough of a threat that somebody would think twice before attacking.
Try my way:
-have to do things
-dont do it or do it partially
-want to kill myself for a while because i feel a worthless piece of shit who cant accomplish anything, even the things that i care and would benefit my future
-forget how shit you felt after like 1-2 days because you had a random moderatly good day caused by the weight of previuosly mentioned things to do going away after you failed them
-feel good until new thing
-repeat
I mainly pay with card to be sure the seller pay his taxes. Italy loses a significant percentage of pil due to tax evasions. I drink tears of tax evaders.
Yeah i agree. I’ll just have to stamp the concept that i can have meaningful experiences even if i feel like im not in my “youth” anymore deep in my brain haha. Btw glad you got better and became anti-capitalist. we have nothing to lose but our chains! :)
I’m glad you’re doing good :)
I think you’re right, it’s just sometimes is hard to imagine that the best part of your life could come in a different period than the one when, as you said, you got both agency and minimal reponsibility.
Maybe i feel this way cause my dad kept repeating that i shouldnt waste my youth, and i probably got stuck comparing what he did in his twenties and what little i feel like i did in mine. retrospectively i probably did what i could back then, what i felt okay doing. We’ll see what the future reserves us
I guess it is. It’s kinda shit no?
I love pizza
Well, i think you made a pretty good point. Maybe i really am rationalizing.
But about your example with another civilization, don’t you think there’s a pretty big difference between two civilized (even if at different levels) species, where the more advanced one could recognise the fact we are just at a lower grade but still “respect” the fact we are sentient, and between humans and animals?
I mean, even if they are on another stage of civilization i dont think we can subjogate like those tribes who lives uncontacted in islands or forests, cause they are still people.
The point i was waking reffered to the post, which implies the fact that leftism is tied to veganism and that NOT being vegan strip me of the tag of leftist. I disagree with that. I just then added my opinion on veganism which you corrected (rightfully). I would be enviromentalist then if i’ll happen yo stop eating meat.
The interaction between human and human and animal and human are different.
Theres not much elso to say. What is true for how we treat animals, the fact we can eat them (in my opinion) because we are over them, doesnt reflect in how i think a human should and can treat another human. Thats it
Are you really trying to say theres no difference between a human and an animal?
Im smart enough to understand that humans are to be treated in a way, animals are just animals. If some idiot thinks that there are “levels” in humanity because of characteristics they cant control or are precluder to somebody because of socieconomics factors above him, ill be sure to punch him.
As i said in another comment, the way we treat animals is and should be different from they way we interact with other humans.
I dont advocate for the rule of the mightiest between humans. For animals, i think we dont have any moral obligation in the way we treat them. Doesnt mean im ok obliterated species or kill rare animal for sport, just that we are ok to eat them.
Animals are animals and human being are human beings. Your point would made sense if you put animals and humans be on the same level, which in my opinion they aren’t.
The fact im ok with killing animals to eat meat doesnt mean that i think that some people hold less value or that if they’re powerless in some situation justify me or anyone else in abusing, killing them or anything of sort. Because they’re people. Not animals.
Your being dense on purpose? You think human as a specie isn’t at the top? Like if we want we couldnt kill every animal specie?
We built civilization and you think we areny the apex?
But that’s not the point i was originally addressing. You shifted the focus towards the fact i’ll be not going vegan.
I made the ipotetic sentence that IF i would be going vegan i would do it just for the enviroment, ignoring the animal exploitation you addressed in the post, and by doing so i think my leftism would be intact.
I was just saying that i dont agree with the fact that “veganism is leftism” and that the leftism of a person is also judged based on what he thinks of animal exploitation. If you want to stay here and point out im not going vegan because basically im too lazy, thats ok.
Nah i don’t wanna. Meat is too tasty.
I commented just because, in contrary of what you said in the post, i think you can be easily ok with animal exploitation and still consider yourself a leftist.
Having said that, i try to avoid meat when i can and i try to prefer a more vegetable based diet. Im just not ready to ban meat all around right now. As i said, i’d do it just for the enviromental damages of intensive farms, not because im compassionate about cows or chickens.
What if i dont care about animals? If i would become vegan i would do it just for the enviromental benefits.
Im completely losing my mind on my uni thesis. Im supposed to send everything by the 3 of december and i still have the second chapter to finish and start the third, for which i dont have much material. The professor isnt sending me back my first chapter with the corrections. If i cant make to graduate in the december session i lose one year of university. I had calmer times.
I have a photo of Adolf Hitler i downloaded some years ago for a meme that google photo dates back to 31 december 1938 so i guess thats pretty old
Oh oh, Spongibob is gonna have a tremendous realization
