Sounds like sinistsr forces.

Or a bot.

That's a ridiculous thing to assume just because someone disagrees with you... b-baka!

Print out your posting history and fax it in triplicate to the embassy or corporation of your choice, you can expect payment within 7-10 business days.

"Oh yeah? Well you're just a fascist zionist shitlib defender of empire!"

"What does that have to do with my favorite Spice Girl?"

Yes exactly, I know facts do not change people's minds. I said facts SHOULD change people's minds.

I don't think their inability to process facts and change their minds is a reason to stop trying, I think the rest of us giving up is dangerous and that is what is happening right now.

The aye of the bee holder and all that.

I disagree. Physical interaction is necessary for real empathy. People should get offline more, volunteer, hangout out with their community. Just seeing a person's face, even over video conference charges interactions.

Another facet of what I said above: facts don't matter. Emotions matter. Which is a stupid way to live, but that's humans.

The average person, if you told them like "the square root of 9 is 3, you fucking idiot" isn't going to believe you. Which, amusingly, shows they are kind of a fucking idiot.

What tone? I'm not even vegan, but like you said, they're just saying all true things. Didn't denigrate meat eaters as people once except to point out our cognitive dissonance, which I think any reasonable person can cop to.

Imho any friction felt in tone or messaging is coming from within (our own minds, about our discomfort with our choices).

I disagree. I think when people encounter extremist speech, they have an initial strong reaction, but then the idea sticks in their head and becomes normalised. Over time, that reaction subsides. The overton window shifts. Those Nazis in the whitehouse have been shifting the overton window right for more than a decade. At first, the public had an initial strong reaction. But then their fascist ideas stuck in their heads and became normalised. And now look where we are! The mainstream left has been pushing moderates like Joe Biden, who don't provoke any initial strong reactions, but they don't inspire people either. Their ideas don't stick in people's heads. We need more extremists in left wing politics, and we need more extreme leftist messaging.

COWS DON’T WANT TO DIE

We need to keep yelling it until it becomes normalised, and then people will take it seriously. Most people are conformists and will react to anything they haven't heard before by shutting down. It's actually kind of useful, evolutionarily, to be a little bit of a conformist, because it helps you fit in and avoid in-group conflict. It lets people work together more easily. But we also need radicals who are willing to shift the normal in a positive direction. And once radical ideas become normalised, only then do most people take the ideas seriously and evaluate the evidence.

Also I did go and research the claim, and it's true. Temple Grandin designed modern slaughterhouses with semicircular arcs for the cows to walk down, which match their natural herding behaviour. The serpentine passages minimise visual distractions which spook cows, and then lead to a ramp which takes them to the stunning area. The ramp keeps them from being able to see what's going on until they're stunned. And then a human knocks them unconscious with a bolt to the brain and slits their throat.

Lions aren't very smart. They can't read, and their dialogues on epistemology suck. That low intelligence is probably why they haven't developed a plan to escape meat dependency.

If you want everyone to think you're the same intelligence as a lion, I think we'd be happy to oblige.
