No. Most racists are not people in power, and having “inferior” white skin (not a downgrade, just a sidegrade for the combination of northern latitudes and agriculture) applies to a lot more people than just the racists.
The reason that they are the way they are, is that it’s an easy outlet for the anger caused by probably a myriad of reasons, some common, some more specific to the person in question. I’d be willing to bet that financial insecurity caused by neoliberalism is pretty high up on that list for many, and that’s why the actually powerful people like to promote racism to divert the anger elsewhere.

I suspect that selling information about their users will also be a major source of revenue. They could be doing constant psychoanalysis and profiling based on the conversations and honestly it sounds like the holy grail gor data brokers.

I asked a researcher on mastodon working at the Amundsen-Scott Station last year about how they manage navigation there and they have their own grid system over there, aligned with the prime meridian.

Pointing out that gangs do a lot of violence is an attempt to shift blame onto the demographic groups which are overrepresented in gangs due to socioeconomic reasons (systemic racism).

Are turtles more slimy than tortoises? By virtue of being in water? If so, then turtles should be in the red circle and tortoises where turtles currently are.

Nobody is comparing two different vaccines here. The original statement is about vaccinations as a whole, in which case the only relevant baseline is the one without vaccines.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 2 months ago:
That’s up to what one considers normal in a given situation. I think I was quite clear about how I was using the word “normal” in my comment there. If I down a sixpack of beer, then I think most would agree that my blood alcohol content would be above normal, no matter how much that is to be expected.
Now, the argument can obviously made that being vaccinated is a lot more normalized than being drunk is, but since she’s talking about the concept of vaccination as a whole, I think the current standards of normalcy are not what she’s using. By those standards it’s a lot more normal to die of polio. In the history of our species, it’s quite abnormal to be able to talk to people on the other side of the planet or to live past 60 or to get vaccinated.
I fully agree that the tweet is misinformation at best. I’ve just seen way too many of these fuckers weasel their way out on technicalities when confronted about it.
- Comment on MD = oMega Dumbass 2 months ago:
I mean, isn’t she technically right? If presented out of context, that statement seems true. At least if we consider “normal” to be some baseline value without the vaccine. It’s not explicitly stated that “normal” would be preferable.

I don’t think that anyone in this chain of replies has argued for flat out ending all animal meat production. Sure, plenty of vegans are motivated primarily by animal ethics and thus want to categorically ban growing animals for food, but here almost everyone seems to be talking about the sustainability aspect of modern mass animal agriculture, myself included. Although less ethical scruples is a welcome byproduct in my opinion.
I’ll take lab grown meat seriously when it’s been proven to be financially competetive and most importantly scalable. Technofixes have a bad track record of turning out to be mostly just investor bait. Kinda like all the bullshit high-flying transportation concepts as solutions to problems where just slightly better urban planning and prioritizing public transit, cycling etc. would work wonders.
Plant based food on the other hand has been most of what we have been eating for most of history. It wasn’t that long ago when meat was still considered a relative delicacy, back when scarcity necessitated efficiency. That’s the kind of efficient, sustainable, healthy and local (so logistically simple) food production system we should try to strive for in my opinion.

Our economic systems only work with infinite growth because otherwise what would be the point of lending money if it won’t grow interest. They are essentially giant pyramid schemes. And that requires new blood to provide labour. This is incredibly dumb on a finite planet with limited resources, but that’s mainstream economics for you.
Also if the population shrinks too fast, then the pyramid becomes unstable with not enough younger people to take care of all the old people (while also maintaining the economy).
- Comment on It's just loss. 3 months ago:
That resource and logistics management problem is a direct result of people eating so much meat, the production of which is inherently inefficient for the purposes of feeding people. Of all the resources that we spend on maintaining and growing an animal, we only get back what goes into growing its muscles. The vast majority is wasted in maintaining the animal so that it doesn’t shrivel up and die before slaughter. Scale back meat production and you get a lot more food for a lot less resources, energy and land. You can’t get that efficiency otherwise. It’s precisely about what we eat.
I’m almost impressed by how much completely unsubstantiated ad hominem you managed to cram in there. Personally I couldn’t have guessed any of that from the comment you replied to. But if you wish to be taken seriously, maybe focus instead on the actual arguments next time.
