The fuel tax is appropriate I think. Larger vehicles that do more damage typically use more fuel, get taxed more. Smaller vehicles that do less damage get taxed less. Driving more gets taxed more. I think we lean into it rather than away.
Quadruple the fuel tax, throw the proceeds toward building out the fast charger network, incentivizing solar charging at home through tax incentive programs, and expanding access to public transit options. All while phasing out fuel subsidies completely.
Fuel only wins right now because it's entrenched and subsidized. My buddy pays $6 worth of electricity to fully charge his electric subaru overnight. Removing the thumb on the scale toward fuel use will cause the electrification movement to cascade.
I care about it, so I nurture it, raise it, and take care that it doesn't suffer needlessly during its final moments. Then into the freezer it goes. I'm no factory farmer. Everything in my homestead is done by hand, with love and care. I don't expect you to agree, just to understand that there is Harm, and then there is Harvesting, and that they are different things.
We're not going to agree, here. You're coming at this from "any harm is suffering, no matter what" and I'm coming at this from a viewpoint of "maximum harm reduction, minus One Bad Day, for sustenance purposes." In your eyes there is no "ethical meat" and in my eyes small farms with loving caretakers are fine.
But you know what? We both want to see factory farms eliminated and we both want animals to live happy lives. Let's start with that. We can still make progress, and a better world is possible.
Zoophilia IS bad because it harms the animal, and any worthwhile farmer takes care of their animals. Y'all willfully misinterpreting the meaning of "animal husbandry" is insane. Equating eating meat to zoophilia is insane. Seek therapy. Touch grass.
Yeah, you called someone a "nihilistic extremist" which means you're parroting lines from our current fascist government. Which means either you think fascism will never come for you (fucking stupid), you're going to be on the "correct" side of the fascism (even more fucking stupid), or you simply don't understand that what's going on IS fascism (absolute fucking retard). If you want to pretend to be smart, it helps to have two braincells to rub together. The one you've got seems lonely.
Fascists don't care whether or not you're a "fan of violence" when they decide you're someone who needs a lynching. If they weren't making a resurgence, these kinds of shirts/messages wouldn't be necessary. Alas...
I know what DARVO is, what it means, and I've experienced it before. You can't just throw it out there nonsensically and expect people to take you seriously. Have a nice day, please do better, thank you.

Ah, you're right. Guess there's no use in trying. Thank you, have a nice day

I specifically said equating meat to zoophilia is insane. Veganism is fine. You do you.
Still seek therapy, though. It helps most people.

If you won't fuck it, why would you eat it? Checkmate. Come on, man. You cannot honestly tell me those are even close to equivalent things.
That's quite the false equivalence you got there bud.
You might be working that braincell a little hard there slugger.
Can't wait til kids like you grow up and realize how fucking stupid this shit is.

I could very well ask you the same thing, child.
So awareness of an issue must always be first person? Holding up a mirror to fascists is trivializing their violence?
Sarcasm I hope?

Teach, don't preach. This things got a mind of it's own. If you know how to turn off my doppelwanger don't keep it to yourself.
I've gotten rock hard looking at sand. Fucking sand. Don't tell me we can control it.
Likewise!
Hey, at least we're laughing together friend.

...how? lol, you're an idiot
