you don’t need to read every line if you trust your package maintainers

I use Debian btw

this doesn’t answer the question.

if you don’t think fascists should be shot, what do you think should be done with them? or cops?

there is definitely a civility problem. the solution is temporary bans that get longer if the incivility is refrequented.

I don’t believe in permabans for anything except stuff that would get the admins arrested, and even some of that maybe not.

bacteria, fungus, plants, protozoa, and (arguably) viruses are all alive, too. bed bugs. rattlesnakes. being alive isn’t actually that special, nor a reason, in itself, to refrain from eating or killing that thing.

you shouldn’t treat animals like smartphones, either. you treat different things differently.

they weren’t things. treating them like things is part of what made that wrong.

and treating animals like people is also wrong.

every human being is actually something and not someone

no, and this makes no sense

the one that talks shit on so-called third parties is basically all conjecture and poorly interpreted academics.

eating meat doesn’t cause people in the meat industry to do anything. they get to choose what they do.

if I died today there is no reason for me to believe any industry would get smaller as a result, and I would of course stop purchasing everything.

there are more vegans now more than ever, and more meat produced. being vegan doesn’t decrease the size of the industry.

whether I do or not, the industry continues to grow.

obviously we disagree. i hold them accountable for their actions regardless.

this is storytelling, not evidence. if we can’t agree that meat producers have free will, and i am only responsible for my own actions, we have a fundamental disagreement that won’t be resolved on lemmy. but ask yourself: at what point do meat producers become responsible for tehir own actions?

meat producers are responsible for their own actions. no one else causes them.

i have considered it, and its epistemic issues make it impractical as a basis of deciding correct actions.

I’m not a utilitarian. most people aren’t

great.

the same people trying to kill section 230

I think a lot of people stopped listening to the rad libs like Maddow and became disaffected from the Democrats since then. those folks are (at least around me) engaging in more radical acts of resistance than the marching-and-shouting that dominated the public actions of that time. so while buttegieg probably hasn’t shifted much, and might think he’s still talking to those same people, many of them are no longer listening.
