Was ist die Alternative? Kiev fallen lassen und die ganze Ukraine an Russland abgeben, so dass dann Ukrainer in die Russische Armee eingezogen werden können um im nächsten Konflikt an der Front zu sterben?

Weil die Frage nicht relevant ist. Die Linke hat etwa 10% der Sitze im Bundestag und aktuell werden Waffen geliefert.

Deswegen ist ja die Frage, ob es eine profit-orientierte Waffenindustrie geben sollte deutlich interessanter. Oder welche kriterien Deutschland bei der Lieferung von Waffen ansetzen sollte (Stichwort Genozid von Israel in Gaza)

Nehmen wir an, die Linke hätte bei den nächsten Wahlen 51%, wie wahrscheinlich ist es, dass der Ukraine Krieg dann noch heiß ist?

Und nur zur Sicherheit nochmal der Disclaimer, ich bin kein Mitglied der PdL.

What you’re implying is, that because the left has the choice between

• we cut the poor and minorities leg off, and maybe in 4 years people will see how bad it was and will vote more progressive
• we cut one of the poor and minorities finger off, and then in 4 years we’ll choose again, but probably it’ll be between a leg and a finger again.

And chooses the option where improvement can happen instead of feeding into the vicious cycle of the lesser evil, it’s the left that is to fault for fascists coming into power? You’re delusional.

There’s a reason why center parties are called the stepping-stone of fascism. You’d really do yourself a big favor by reflecting your views.

Ich denke, du missverstehst mich. Aktuell werden deutsche Waffen geliefert, und meiner persönlichen Meinung nach ist das bis auf obiges Problem auch gut so.

Damit die Linke Einfluss auf Waffenlieferungen haben könnte müsste sie ja erst einmal substanziell Wähler dazu gewinnen, und dann könnte eine verstaatlichung ja auch zeitnah in die Wege geleitet werden.

Ich verstehe wirklich dein Problem nicht.

That’s why you need some president that introduces something like a requirement for kids to visit a school, abolishing religious private schools (or forcing them to comply with a national standard for education).

Stupid people will vote for stupid shit, and home schooling or ultra-religious schools just lead to more stupid people. Knowledge is power for the people.

The problem is, that this is what basically happened for as long as I can remember. People vote for a democrat, they don’t really succeed in bringing substential improvements because they have to keep the billionaires happy, and at some point people vote republican again, which then proceed to fuck up everything even harder.

It’s a downward spiral, and in my opinion the only way of breaking out of it is to break it. So either the democrats choose somebody that is likely to improve the quality of life for the broad population, or the republicans win again and break the country completely.

Enabling this spiral by voting for the “lesser evil” will just lead to it going on forever.

Ich denke das Problem ist, dass die Rüstungsgüter aus Privatwirtschaft kommen, und Leute sich daran bereichern.

Meiner Meinung nach (kein PdL Mitglied), müsste eine staatliche Rüstungsproduktion entstehen (oder verstaatlicht werden), und das Ergebnis dieser Produktion kann dann verwendet werden, um eine Seite in Kriegen zu unterstützen ohne von kapitalistischen Interessen korrumpiert zu werden.

Allerdings hätte ich auch dann noch die Sorge, dass wir aus Reflex noch Kolonialmächte wie Istael bedingungslos in ihren Genoziden unterstützen würden. Und ich weiß nicht, ob deutsche Waffen wirklich in Genoziden eingesetzt werden sollten.

The fact that you’re always deflecting off yourself shows me everything I need to know about you.

You know that you’d have a choice, and you know that it’s objectively wrong to harm animals for no reason. And all the pointing to cases where it might be justified does not change that fact.

That was very helpful. Thanks!

It’s funny how you come with a small valid exception, when the majority of humanity lives in big cities where everything is accessible.

Of course, Inuit people in North Canada will eat seals, but hiding yourself behind them just shows how unaware you’re of your own privilege and also responsibility.

Focussing on those is a distraction, that you can engage in, if it makes you feel better (and maybe you’ll reach minor improvements for some discriminated group), but once you realize that capitalism is the problem, you’ll realize that solving that problem would also remove all other forms of discrimination that were brought to us by capitalists to divide us.

Tofu really depends on which consistency you buy. In stores like H-mart or other asian stores (USA), you can usually buy from very soft (silken tofu, consistency very soft) to very firm (consistency closer to a block of fresh cheese)

In Europe it can even go to more firm consistencies, something you can also reach yourself if you press/compress it for a few hours (google tofu press, probably also works if you improvise it).

If you’re searching something more meat like, I’d recommend trying soy chunks from a local indoan store (or the internet), they are also very convenient because they come dry and you can store them for ages until you soak and cook them. Just make sure to add spices when cooking tofu and/or soy chunks, because both don’t really have a taste by themselves. I usually use Soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper and various types of chillies.

I fuck cars. What now?

Ok, so so you’re saying me that somewhere 200g of meat is cheaper than 200g of tofu? Because an average meal is pretty much vegan except for the protein, if you cook with oil instead of butter (which is also cheaper).

But yeah, no matter what I say, you’ll claim it’s wrong, mainly because you’re not really interested in anything but spreading your words. Which is fine, have a nice day.

You think men on the internet have experience getting something wet?

I think when you’re calling vegans “religious” it’s you using that as a slur, despite acknowledging that it’s objectively true, which you probably wouldn’t say about religions?

And I agree that there are many more problems, but it’s easy to tackle more than one problem at a time, and considering that meat production is responsible for around 15-20% of all carbon emissions, and is a waste of calories (you feed the plants to the animals to get 1/10th at most back), it’s an easy way to also try to help out humans by combatting climate change and world hunger.

I’d also add that the term “carnist” is just a factual description. It’s like calling a female presenting person woman.

What I read is that you believe being vegan is being privileged (which to an extend is true, because usually it’s the more educated population that also tends to be vegan).

But the reality is that vegan food is cheaper for the same nutrients. And that despite meat and milk being havily subsidized.

I have no idea what vegan teacher youre talking about, and in my experience non-vegs feel bad just by hearing that I do actively go out of my way to not hurt innocent sentient beings.

But yes, of course you’ll feel like you’re doing the right thing, when you actually stop doing the wrong thing. Nothing wrong with that.

Also, the only reason the militant vegans make people so angry is, that deep down they know it’s true. Change my mind.

I think part of it is to reclaim masculinity (big muscle = very man), but of course there’s nothing wrong with other sports! Just stay active!

I am not allowed to vote in the US, so you definitely can’t blame it on me lol
