Then idk what to tell you. I’ve been hearing it IRL and online for more than a decade now used to refer to the “Blue No Matter Who” types that tried to say anyone with concerns about Copmala’s record as a crooked prosecutor or her enthusiastic support for a US funded genocide was secretly a Russian bot trying to boost Trump’s chances.

The argument is as old as time and yet yorie absolutely wrong about all of it.
is it ethical to kill?
Under many circumstances, yes it is.
do humans need meat to survive
Not all do, but approximately 1/3 humans have any one of half a dozen different conditions that make them unable to thrive on a vegan diet, even with the expensive supplements that price many working people out of veganism.
Is animal agriculture equivalent to slavery?
No, and you saying so is an insult to every enslaved human on Earth.
if you eat meat, deep down inside you know you’re supporting: murder, rape, entrapment, torture, and slavery. that includes eggs and milk.

And your salad has much more exploited human labor in it than my steak has exploited animal labor. Maybe work on ending the exploitation of your own species before trying to equate your fad diet with ethics?
Fair enough. I’m on board if we also don’t allow the purchase of any plant based products to anyone who hasn’t put in a season working in the fields. If I can’t exploit Porky for meat without having skin in the game, you can’t exploit Manuel for labor without doing the same.
Have you seen our healthcare system?
Lol
Well “one of the most liberal cities in the US” would be more likely to be full of Blue MAGA than people opposed to it. There isn’t really a way to determine the “most communist cities in the US”, but that’s where you’ll find people who’ve been using the term for years.

After the first time they did it and got to sleep comfortably in their own beds that night, it became everyone’s fault.
It’s been a thing since 2016, when it became patently obvious that both parties serve the same ruling class and that party loyalists from either party are fighting for the same future, and neither group understands what future they’re fighting for.

In any work set before 1985 this is likely to be accurate. Most states had laws on the books called “fleeing felon laws”, which specifically authorized law enforcement to shoot fleeing suspects in the back if they were suspected of a felony. SCOTUS deems that practice unconstitutional in 1985 (with some exceptions).

Cool. Then the Ohio Dems can suck an unwashed ass.
Nah. Trying to rehabilitate Nazis leads to Nazis taking over critical institutions and going underground to pop back up a couple of generations later. Unlike our grandparents, we don’t need to leave a bigger less for our grandkids to clean up.
And when most of us were “trapped in a propaganda echo chamber” the idea of cheering on masked secret police disappearing our neighbors for their skin tone or language would still have been a non-starter. Yes, they were made to believe absurdities in order to make them commit atrocities. That doesn’t excuse the atrocities, nor does it make the absurdities anything other than what they wanted to believe to begin with.
It was meant to be insulting to both of them and Hillary Clinton too
If you think there’s an option to vote to hold trump accountable your memory is incredibly short. If he doesn’t die in office, warm and cozy in his bed, he’ll die in Mar-A-Lago, warm and cozy in his bed.
Stephen Miller is the new Kissinger, in 30 years a Democratic Secretary of State will glaze him as “an incredible influence”.
Accountability isn’t on the menu until/unless the Democratic party is purged of all Clintonites/Third Way loyalists. And you don’t have time to do that before Trump dies of old age, never having known a moment of accountability in his worthless life.
And IMO “Blue No Matter Who” means “please vote for the polite imperialists, because I don’t care what happens to anyone I don’t know as long as I do have to hear about it on the news.”
It’s a call to just be ok with US funded genocide, concentration camps on US soil, constant war, no police accountability, and throwing trans rights under the bus because if you don’t the other guys will do all that same shit but the media will actually talk about it so you can’t pretend it isn’t happening.
The play needs to be what Lenin, Castro, and Mao all did, overthrow the disgusting ruling class and establish a government run by workers.
