Kinder words here we could pick. A kind approach might do the trick.
Hurt you hurt me. Well, that needs to stop.

Sadly, I don't think this is even a poll. It's a betting market. We've reached the point of late-stage capitalism where we turn to betting markets...

I can't believe they give them names and then send them off to be butchered like that.

My mom still asks this sometimes. Nearly 30 years (vegetarian + vegan time)...

RobE @robertelliott.bsky.social · 26m

Awesome! Well...is this real (or just a meme)? Was it recent?

RobE @robertelliott.bsky.social · 36m

It is. They're not the people who need to be convinced. They're either trolls or paid...trolls. They will deny, deflect, and sea lion, and if you completely crush them, 1 person will know, and they'll take the argument back to Heritage or TPUSA HQ for rhetorical analysis to attack it in the future.

That first reply is from a Reich Wing propanda-spreading account. Read through some of its other replies. I blocked it.

Yeah, that's a Reich Wing propaganda-spreading account. Just go through some of its replies. Blocked.

Yes, but calling them Nazis is a bridge too far.

Who is this moron's target audience? Even Marty McFly wouldn't have fallen for that one.

"You don't have the guts to disembowel yourself." 🙄It's less about courage and more about sanity, decency, and freedom, sweetheart, but you go right ahead with your gibberish, dear.

Paying attention, @msnbc.com , @cnn.com @nbcnews.com ? (And fuck you, @cbsnews.com , we know you're just fascist propaganda at this point)

But laws and rules don't apply to rich people, so he doesn't care. He wouldn't be turned away from visiting the person he loved on their death bed. But that's hypothetical. Because he's not capable of love.

That, and all the money they steal.

"Blue", and also the term "external links" so maybe that's what triggered it, but I didn't actually put any external links in there 🤷‍♂️)

Also this one a day later from MaddowNYTimes - www.youtube.com/watch?v=gESb...

I also have a whole bunch of other articles and stuff about him on standby...

@enemywithinyt.bsky.social , tried to post this on the YouTube video, but it was (definitely) deleted.

For anyone getting on your case about Musk, point them to this video here on YouTube from SecularTalk - www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP_r... He's an absolute crook.

Less than a week before payday, when I can once again donate to u24.ua.gov

RobE @robertelliott.bsky.social · 21h

Yes. This is just one example. I know I've seen others, maybe from @virtuepostmortem.bsky.social or others (and there is plenty of anecdotal evidence from people who credit Marc and others with helping them go vegan), but being exposed to unpleasant realities is effective.

Mm. Yeah. The, "just do something that seems necessary" statement makes more sense in that context. "Necessary" in the sense of shitting on people and destroying the government. Not "necessary" in the sense of food and medicine.

The vulnerable in other countries are already starving and some (children) have starved to death. They've already killed children, and innocent fishermen.

💯We absolutely do not want to drive them back into the hateful embrace of bigotry, greed, and callousness. They need to know if they're ready to oppose Trump and fascism, there is a place for them in the coalition. And people need to understand that spiking the football in their face won't help.

My grandfather, knowing I was vegetarian (at the time, decades ago), when I reminded him, would offer me a hot dog instead. Although to be fair, those things are probably mostly rat feces and human hair and fingernails.

We don't but it needs to be out there. If you see Marc's name with a video, just quickly scroll to the bottom and click the heart.

Wait 'til he hears about Reagan's take on Russia. I believe the word "evil" was thrown around.

This.

If we're so smart, then we're the ones who should be able to understand what they're trying to communicate.

These buttons help make it clear for some people, but why is there even any doubt?
