An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Rules:
Be a decent person.
No racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism/nazism, and so on.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO EAT ANIMALS. You are CHOOSING to. And you are using the fact that other animals HAVE TO EAT OTHER ANIMALS to justify it. You're not going to feel bad about your UNNECESSARY cruelty and violence simply because cruelty and violence exist in the universe? That's fucking stupid, you see that, right? Your rationalizations are transparent and the lies you tell yourself are not convincing to others!

All of the violence and cruelty that exists in the universe is unnecessary, not just mine. The universe is unnecessary, for that matter. If I decided to focus on that, I could only conclude that total annihilation is the answer to suffering and I'd rather eat chicken. It's a choice, not a lie.

I dare you to show your genuinely asinine comment to someone you respect. This is exactly the transparent rationalization I'm describing directly to your benighted face.

That's a very 14 year old understanding of nihilism.
