Understanding disability thought and theory is one of the foundations of marginalization justice but one of the most invisible such that, once you understand certain tenants, it’s impossible not to see the impact of their ideas in everything in daily life.

ITT: lots of morals that most people (here) agree with. Predictable.

Prostitution should be legalized everywhere. With regulation of course to ensure the protection of the workers and clients.

Against IP as in if I spend my life creating something you’d be ok with a big company just stealing it and steam rolling me?

Your feelings are not facts.

Being offended, doesn’t mean you’re in the right and the other person is in the wrong.

Just because your religion says something (or claims it does), doesn’t put you in the right.

I think peta is probably right to kill all those dogs. Better to be euthanized than to live in a kennel.

It’s okay to call stupid people stupid to their face - them, their ideas, whatever it is that they’re doing dumb. In the U.S. we’ve gone too far over on the “tolerate all people and their views” which has allowed fascism and MAGAts to gain far too much power - putting idiots in their place is (or at least would have been) the best way put it back where it belongs.

I totally agree. Intellectual property is a capitalist myth created only for the purpose of beating other people away from progress.

Any civilized society would believe in the free commerce of ideas.

The solution to the Tolerance Paradox is the Ender solution.

Accept everyone. But the moment one group calls for the violence against any other group, they should be wiped out with overwhelming force to the last. Any group willing to spew hate, is to be culled. Either they learn to accept every other group, or they go extinct.

It worked with the Nazis. It worked with the khmer rouge. It worked with Mussolini. It worked with the apartheid regime.

In turn i also believe that the Ender Solution is the solution to bullying. Fight back, break their noses, gouge out an eye. Make the bully regret even looking at you. As an asian migrant in 1990s Australia in all white school, the first bully was also the last.

Eating and using animals when there is a plant-based alternative is wrong and should not be done.

Buy local goods, even is it cost more… most people will go for cheapest price, even if you’re handing your money to warlords and human trafficking… same argument every time “There will always be <insert sicko>”.

If you count humans as animals then cocaine and clothing from companies like Temu and Shein aren’t vegan.

Cocaine manufacturing and distribution is full of human exploitation and suffering. Using it should go against the vegan ethos of avoiding consumption of things that are the product of exploitation. Similar to honey, milk, or eggs.

Similarly, Shien and Temu make nearly all of their products using slave labor in terrible working conditions using dangerous chemicals without any precautions.

drinking and driving isn’t inherently more dangerous than just driving, and it’s a skill you can practice.

i think that institutions should be respected.

It’s the number one problem in american politics right now, everything we are currently experiencing, is from people treating politics like a toy. Rather than an institution.

It’s so incredibly hard to state how critically important it is for the functioning of society, that the structures running our society, are respected.

One for the world:

I think dog / cat ownership makes you a bad person. There are huge energy and material costs to supporting those animals.

Cats when allowed outside will decimate ecosystems and are literal invasive species. As for dogs, I can’t help but feel that they’ve have been weaponized into a deniable tool for harassing other people.

One for Lemmy:

I think capitalism can be good. I think in an ideal world where everyone’s needs are met, there will still be a market and people getting ludicrously wealthy. And I think in that ideal world those ludicrously wealthy people can translate that wealth into political power.

This seems insane for those of us trapped in this present, but I think it is good for there to be a mechanism where understanding some reality that is tied to physical phenomena gives people power.

I think large organizations can get by for a very long time inculcating in their members strange philosophies. If the only path to power is by acquiescing to your superiors and parroting dogma, I think that would be bad.

Of course, conditions in the real world look nothing like those in that ideal world.
