Yea basically his dude is writing his insane statements off by saying 'oh that's just Trump' but then all those statements are why people go 'well gently caress voting for that guy'.

Pickled Tink posted:I didn't say anything of the sort. There are other valid arguments of vegetarianism and veganism, but the moral "you animal murderer" one doesn't hold water. "You still murder some animals by proxy" is not a particularly good argument against "this means fewer animals (and ones generally lower on the energy cost/intelligence totem pole) die to let me meet my nutritional needs".

Maybe 'there are no easy answers' is a bit of a cop-out, but it displays a more nuanced understanding of the issue than 'just stop killing the cutesy animals, it's so easy.' The extreme distance we've developed from our food supply over the last ~150 years definitely had a part in the pollyanna worldview that fuels the Vegan Artbook author. Like, it's hard to picture her having the same kind of "human suffering and animal suffering are completely and exactly equivalent" viewpoint if she was living on a farm in the 1820s. And it's really had an effect on the larger culture, like the fact that even we NWS-tag the "gross out" slaughterhouse images she uses when they are posted here. Animals in various states of butchering would be a very common sight to well over half the US population until around 1870 or so.

It is Jan (reluctant liberal former coworker) who is married to Damon (black mouthpiece). Getting Jan and Skye mixed up is pretty common. Difference is Skye has tattoos and Jan looks like she has purple skin. Muir often forgets how long Jan's hair is and just uses Skye's hair though, causing confusion. Someone kill me.

Conservatives smile with indulgence over everything he says, whether it goes against conservative creed (1 & 6) or it goes against basic human decency (2, 3, 4, 5, 7); but they are scared by whatever a Democrat Party member says, no matter how reasonable or appropriate it is. A good cartoon.
