  • If two parties are at odds with one another, and one on them is willing to use violence and the other isn’t, the violent party wins.

    Non violence works when people care about what you’re going through. If the right people know and care they’ll come in and do violence for you to make it stop. Or at least verifiably threaten violence. But violence is happening whether you did it or not.

    Nazis don’t give a shit about you, they’re eager for violence. They want to exterminate entire classes of people. Non violence does not work on Nazis, we’ve already seen this play out once before.

    There’s not a single fish that gets farmed outside of farms. Fish farms are definitionally CAFOs. They’re also terrible for the environment and raise poor quality fish.

    But not all fish you’d be able to buy is farm fish. Most of it is, and the amount of non farm fish is diminishing.

    You can get non CAFO farm fish but generally these are at niche restaurants that serve things like “fresh caught catfish” and have a pond behind the restaurant. And even the small business those places do is often too much for their little pond and as much as half will be bought from a supplier.






  • Listen buddy.

    First of all, men are brutalizing women all over the world, every day, regardless of religion.

    You should think about religion as less of a driver and more of a record. Like a dictionary.

    People will do whatever they want to do, and then they will justify it. If there happens to be a few convenient passages in a religious text justifying setting your spouse on fire, they’ll repeat that until they’re blue in the face while dousing a woman in gasoline.

    And sure, you can say that they use that text to tech their kids, but they’re still just teaching the bits they want to.

    The point is, Muslim, Hindu, Christian, doesn’t matter. All major sacred books have bits about brutalizing women that step out of line, and the people that really like those bits tend to climg to them to justify being horrible fucking people.
