So, Drag thinks countries that believe their neighbors are part of a greater whole ruled by them as the motherland are communist?
That’s imperialism, buddy.
Let me know when: 1) China stops trying to exert absolute control over Tibet, Taiwan, and Hong Kong; 2) North Korea accepts that their ownership ends where their globally-recognized territory ends; 3) Russia stops invading neighboring countries.

I think practicality is the only important thing here, if something looks and tastes like milk, and can be used as milk in 98% of cases, it’s fine to call it a type of milk.

Drag doesn’t think we should call cow breast milk real milk, because validating it makes people more likely to drink it, and that’s wrong. We should be telling them it’s weird. That should be the default position for society.

Yeah no, you’re not wrong, cow milk is just another type of milk, there is no one “real” milk, animal or plant based.
It might be less weird in other contexts, but the in the context of our current farming practices, the fact that it needs to be pasteurized due to the likely presence of dangerous pathogens and has bio-available hormones, is weird as fuck.
