- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 day ago:
I read an interview with the guy, he said that there are only a few fallen civilizations left to talk about and that he wants to end his podcast with an episode about us and our (first time ever) global civilization. Looking forward to that.
On the other hand, I read and listened to Kim Stanley Robinson a lot. In this podcast, he explains why he doesn’t want to write dystopian novels because they trap our mind. I think he has a point. - Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 2 days ago:
My country looked up to the US as a charismatic winner with a big ego and an anger problem, who turned full coked up psychopath now. I listened to the Fall of Civilizations-Podcast a lot and this feels like one. It’s scary to watch and feel sorry for all the good people living in this mess. But I agree, there is no sympathy left. Let the raging insanity humble this evil empire.

Muscle tissue needs to be cut from a dead animal. If you eat it, you pay for their exploitation and suffering with your money. You pay for destruction (deforestation, lakes of shit, you name it) as well. If you don’t, it doesn’t happen, so it’s your choice. - Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 2 weeks ago:

Meat is a luxury for the rich worldwide. In China, more and more people are living the standard of living that we have been exemplifying for decades. Here in Germany, meat consumption is falling sharply and that is important and good. I can’t force the world to do anything, I can only take responsibility for my own actions and ask others to do the same. Because it’s the right thing to do, and I’m sure you feel that too.

Hey, I don’t want to insult or manipulate you. I don’t want to be blocked as well. I’m just arguing for responsibleness and compassion, which i think is really important right know.
What you feel might be Cognitive Dissonance, the BBC wrote a great article about it. I felt it as well, I wasn’t born a vegan. Thanks for the debate. - Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 3 weeks ago:

Lab grown meat is not getting better nor cheaper since a decade, it’s still an ungodly block of stem cells. This is not a political statement, I don’t care if people eatlab grown, but it’s not there yet and to me, it’s off-putting and unnecessary.
Give various plant based alternatives a try, there is already a huge variety that differs in taste and texture. Some is okay, some is great. At the moment, capitalism is stuffing it’s pockets with vegan meat money but this stuff is super cheap and easy to make and prices will fall if production numbers go up and there’s even more competition. So don’t wait! - Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, this is just a vegan meme. Gorillas sometimes eat a bug or two, and they have been seen eating small animals, but it’s not their usual diet. Look it up, they eat up to 30 kg of plant stuff a day. That’s petty impressive.

Us humans are opportunistic animals as well, which has led to us destroying our global habitat. So we need to change or society will collapse in the not so distant future. There are a lot of things that need to change to survive the next century. The way we eat is one of them. And it’s the easiest, because you don’t have to get off your ass and protest, you just change a habit and stop buying the destructive food next time your shop at the supermarket. You choose the food that saves ⅔ land use, waterpollution and co2-emissions. That’s my point.

Your source:
In addition to consuming a lot of plant matter, gorillas occasionally consume insects. Gorillas are not considered carnivores in the wild, despite the fact that they may consume meat when it is served to them in zoos. Although officially omnivores, gorillas primarily consume plants, including leaves, stems, bark, flowers, and fruits. They occasionally consume tiny vertebrates and insects as well.
If all of humanity started to “occasionally consume tiny vertebrates and insects” while “primarily consuming plants” by tomorrow we’d be way better off. Do you agree?
- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 3 weeks ago:
Please fact check before posting, this is scientificaly inaccurate. Yeah they might eat a bug or two, but gorillas normally don’t eat other mammals.

Quitting meat will lead to a little less suffering, destruction and exploitation. It costs you just some self-reflection and a change of habit. But Uriel238, obviously a fellow leftist, refuses this. You want others you to to change first. But they, as you said, won’t. Reflect on that.
- Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 3 weeks ago:
So be the change, Uriel238! You are against suffering, slavery and destruction? Against the greedy elite who brutaly and recklessly exploit the weak instead of protecting them? See what I did there? :) Veganism is not the only solution, but no solution will ever be enough without it. Plus it’s the easiest Fuck You to the ruling class. Stop paying for dead animal parts next time you’re shopping at the supermarket. It feels really good to not take part in this evil system of misery and annihilation.

Wow, I asked for the bullshit and you seriously delivered! Not sure if I should take the time to reply to this, because would my effort change anything?
Everything you eat is vegan, except for the animal tissue, all milk-stuff and eggs. We don’t need capitalism to invent us vegan food, we fight it by eating fruits, nuts, legumes and vegetables, like we always did. It’s great for your body and for the planet as well!
Dogs are omnivores, pigs are, too. They eat a rotting squirrel if the feel like it, we die if our bleach-cleaned chicken isn’t in the freezer for half a day.
Damn, I just started replying. - Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle. 3 weeks ago:

Better wash them:
Eating chickens is the most common source of Salmonella poisoning. A 2014 issue of Consumer Reports published that 97 percent of chicken breasts found in retail stores were contaminated with bacteria that could make people sick, and 38 percent of the Salmonella found was resistant to multiple antibiotics. And, according to a national retail-meat survey by the Food and Drug Administration, about 90 percent of retail chicken showed evidence of contamination with fecal matter.

But storage is getting cheaper and cheaper as we move further into renewables. The storage problem is not unfixable, it’s being solved just like the gas station and road paving problem was solved during the automobile revolution. The beginning of something is always messy, problems and mistakes happen. But we are a clever species and we are working on it. Fuck these men who want to keep burning our planet, I won’t be discouraged.
