It’s unsustainable, but more importantly here, it’s entirely unnecessary. Meat, eggs, and milk are NOT essential sources of nutrients. You can get the same nutrient necessities from non-animal food sources and be healthier for it.

About 1:50:

The way they put it is “well it’s work, it puts food on the table for its members” But if you’re making money off the expense of others then you’re just kind of being really shitty. I mean you can excuse it however you want but you are being an asshole and profiteering off of being an asshole.

:100-com: I just wonder if he or most of his viewers watching and agreeing can follow this to its logical conclusion.

How many of us are even now just a few bad months away from ending ourselves? I think there is going to be a massive wave of suicides that almost coatails along with the more heinous crimes like this one. The slide into outright fascism isn’t going to be pretty, and there are going to be a lot of victims of it that precede the literal concentration camp phase.

Edit: sorry, I think I’m supposed to do a CW if I express suicidal intent. So… Content Warning.

Pretty sure I’m soon going to go out in a very similar way in the near future, only from a leftist perspective of hopelessness and extreme alienation instead of rightwing batshittery. But I suspect the fw people who still know me tangentially will chalk it up to the same thing. So I have a sense of solidarity with people like that (ones who just off themselves, not ones who hurt others), Even so, if it’s racist conspiracies that pushed them over the edge, then fuck them, no sympathy.

Good. Pass those fucking conservative (fascist) shitfuckers, outlive them and do good revolutionary work. Stick around as long as you can, comrade. I wish I had your resolve but I just don’t. It’s already so bad and it’s quickly getting worse, and personally, I just can’t do it. But all the more power to those who can.

He totally did, and that book is excellent as an intro for libs to start possibly understanding why they’re so indoctrinated, so long as they’re willing to read something pretty dry. But keep in mind, Chomsky was a co-author of the book (Herman never gets due credit), and Michael Parenti’s Inventing Reality is a much more entertaining (and arguably better) discussion of the topic that doesn’t have the little sprinklings of anti-communism that MC has.

Watching this and hearing the voice of a thousand libertarians in unison yearn for less regulation as their cries slowly fade downward, echoing off the canyon walls: “the marrkeeettt shouuulld deeeciiiideeee myyy hooommeeesss ffaaatttteee”
