Capitalist Realism is deep fried in organic grass fed raw 🐮 butter.

“Fukuyama’s thesis that history has climaxed with liberal capitalism may have been widely derided, but it is accepted, even assumed, at the level of the cultural unconscious. It should be remembered, though, that even when Fukuyama advanced it, the idea that history had reached a ‘terminal beach’ was not merely triumphalist. Fukuyama warned that his radiant city would be haunted, but he thought its specters would be Nietzschean rather than Marxian. Some of Nietzsche’s most prescient pages are those in which he describes the ‘oversaturation of an age with history’. ‘It leads an age into a dangerous mood of irony in regard to itself’, he wrote in Untimely Meditations, ‘and subsequently into the even more dangerous mood of cynicism’, in which ‘cosmopolitan fingering’, a detached spectatorialism, replaces engagement and involvement. This is the condition of Nietzsche’s Last Man, who has seen everything, but is decadently enfeebled precisely by this excess of (self) awareness.”

I feel like it's a parent's duty to teach children right from wrong and lay down the foundations of a moral and healthy life. Everyone knows that heroine use is often harmful and the way it's produced is blood soaked and exploitative.

The internet is really mad at me for forcing my opinions on my daughter though, so lemmy. AITA?

I'm trying really hard to be reducitarian so I'll have something interesting to put in my Tinder bio but I can't find any reducitarian recipes. :'( I'm trying to eat 99.9% of the animal products I would normally eat (I have calculated that I won't be able to get enough protein otherwise) but I can't find any recipes for this. So I'm thinking that for now I'll only eat reducitarian when I go out to restaurants that have reducitarian options labeled on the menu. After I'm comfortable with that, I may try ordering extra cheese instead of bacon when I go to McDonald's. I'm so proud to be going on this journey. 💚🌱

Edit: I noticed someone downvoted this post so I have made the difficult decision to stop being reducitarian. It's just too difficult & extreme to keep up this fringe lifestyle and I have noticed that I have a slight tummy ache so I think it's just not right for my body. 💔 But I'm still reducitarian in spirit! Keep living your truth, everyone!

Pro-foxhunting group says UK hunters should be protected ethnic minority

Chair of Hunting Kind says he has built legal case to obtain same protection as Roma and LGBTQ+ people

A pro-foxhunting group says it has prepared a legal case to try to prove that hunters are an ethnic minority whose hunts should be protected under equality laws.

Ed Swales, the chair of Hunting Kind, claims he has been advised by a leading human rights lawyer that hunters unequivocally qualify for legal protection under the UK Equality Act 2010.

Speaking to the FieldsportsChannel podcast, Swales said: “The qualifications of an ethnic group, there are five of them, and we hit everyone straight in the bullseye.”

He said he had spent three years preparing a legal challenge that had now been reviewed by a human rights KC “who sits on the council of the European court of human rights”.

Swales said: “The outcome of that from the human rights silk is that as a protected minority group under the Equality Act, we qualify, undoubtedly 10 out of 10.”

He said the group would try to mount legal challenges to prove that those who support hunting have suffered discrimination such as losing work or contracts, or been abused on social media. If successful, such action would give hunters the same protection as minority groups such as the Roma community or LGBTQ+ groups.

Swales accused “the animal rights extremist movement” of launching “a person-on-person conflict” against hunters under “the excuse of animal welfare”.

It’s a very interesting documentary about pig farming and does pose questions about the pig meat industry but it still begs the question as a meat eater, not a vegan, would I eat bacon? Yes I would, but would prefer it to be more regulated than currently and should be done in a way more regulated way! That being said it raises a serious question of how pigs are killed, and they should be done so in a way more humane way than they are currently (ie non CO2 method). Nonetheless, I wouldn’t give up bacon for this, sorry vegans, I just believe of finding an actual humane way of killing the animal is better than transporting avocados from Brazil.
