Commerce is not the same thing as capitalism, those words are not synonyms. Take a step back and open a dictionary. Pedantic definitions aside. The idea that capitalism is human nature and that human society and more broadly humans as a species are inherently capitalist is completely made up and ancient couns existing doesnt prove it. Id recommend looking up articles regarding "gift culture'" and "barter culture"
As for opening a history book: i did my undergrad in European history, and have a masters in Archeology. So while im not the definitive expert on the history of commerce and capitalism by any means, I have definitely opened up a couple history books.

Medieval communities did not engage in capitalism or any sort of internal market economy. Your assumption is that history defaults to a modern western mindset where everyone is highly individualistic and only interested in themselves. Yes you would give your neighbor eggs because you know theyll give you nails. Its called a "gift economy" by historians. Anyone who didnt help the community would be ostracized

I dont see how that defeats what i said? I live in the whitest state in the union. Probably a contribution to the racism i see is the lack of interaction with diverse communities. People in the north absolutely have a tendency to think we lre perfect up here and its only the south that has racism and bigotry. But its not remotely the case

White, but in Vermont. I think my fellow Northerners get way too smug regarding the "backwards" south. Go outside urban areas in new rngland and youll see the same situation

"riots are the language of the unheard" -MLK peaceful protests are the alternative you give, the other option is violence. MLK new this. Despite how incredibly watered down and whitewashed his message and words have become when they teach about him in school.

Ignoring the obvious joke you missed. If someone being a little rude is enough to make you completely give up on your ethical/moral stance, you need to grow a spine dude .
If a gay person is an ass to me i dont decide to become homophobic and blame it on them.

Yeah it was a little weird wording. Im not in the trades. Trying to be vague because internet, but while I work WITH plumbers and HVAC specialists, and have previously worked in the field, Im not one myself.

I work in the trade industry. Most of these people are conservative boomers. The things these guys say are absolutely horrifying. It isnt just the older guys though. Its the blight of converativism. These dudes say things that sound like they should be said by someone 1000+ years ago or in Saudi Arabia or something. Im talking about not just racism, homophobia, mysoginy but also honor killings, reasons rape can be justified, flying into a blood rage because you feel another has offended your masculinity. Moving to rural America (even in the north) has been incredibly eye opening to how insanely backwards parts of our society is. You have no idea until you see it.

The dude youre responding to literally keeps saying neither group is justified in their war crimes and you keep accusing him of being okay with hamas commiting war crimes. Your brain is rotted dude. Just come out and say admit you like war crimes as long as Israel is doing them.

"THEY COMMIT WAR CRIMES TOO WHY ARE YOU OKAY WITH THAT??" "Im not, neither group is justified in war crimes" "WHAT IF WE ONLY GAVE PALESTINE AID IF THEY DONT COMMIT WAR CRIMES HUH? HOWD YOU LIKE THAT??" "Yes I would like that" "YOU SUPPORT WAR CRIMES"
the dude you're talking to has actual brain rot its insane

The amish are fucking awful dude. Theyre a cult that abuses and beats women and children, treating them like property. They run puppy mills churning out dogs in gorrible conditions. Not to mention the rampant incest and inbreeding. Fuck their cult. They arent just "cute old timey people" tourists think they are

You ended youre "argument" admitting tou dont give a shit about suffering or morality. I dont really know how to continue a debate with an actual psychopath... arguing with meat eaters always ends up with them saying insane stuff like they dont care about suffering or torture , the quotes around intelligent makes you sound like the kind of person who drown cats as a kid. I know literally no amount of logic or facts can change your mind because you just want to be right (you know ..like a cult) it was a mistake saying anything. Proud ignorance just frustrates me

Humans also raped each other and died in childbirth for just as long so i guess we should let those happen too. appeal to nature is a logical fallacy One of my biggest pet peeves when people talk about veganism is theyre inability to debate without their entire argument being nothing but fallacies. Its not different then arguing with a flat earther or a trump supporter.
The other thing that boils my blood is people invoking privilege as if they actually care about whatever community theyre hiding behind. Low meat diets are what most people throughout all of time and history have eaten. The meat heavy diets of the modern western world is an immense privilege. Go to a rural community in South America shoving whoppers in your mouth and see if thats how theyre eating. Meat is massively MASSIVELY subsidized.
Not to mention its the largest cause of environmental destruction on the planet. The number one cause of deforestation .and the cause of suffering for billions intelligent animals.
Do some actual research beyond googling "why is veganism bad" and then finding YouTube videos that support the ideas you already have. WatchDomion.org

I have no idea who those people are. But if you think people cant be healthy eating grains, legumes, fruits and vegetables you know literally nothing about health and fitness. Do you get your diet advice from roided out "carnivores" like liver king who take steroids and fistfulls of vitamin pills to survive their bacon and butter only diets?

Yeah i know what the expression is. My point was the absolute ignorance to think that the only cheap food is meat, and that vegans eat super expensive bougie fake meat all day. Instead of cheap foods that are diet staples around the entire planet

Wheb your corpus collosum is severed your two brain hemispheres cannot directly interact with each other. Since they control desperate motor functions they can each learn something the other half doesnt know and cant describe (i.e. the side that controls the eye that saw an egg knows it saw an egg. But the other side that controls verbal communication cant say what it saw because it doesn know) over time the sides can even disagree or form differing opinions. So which side is you?

This is how i know youre lying to make a point. I literally buy beans at my dollar general. The idea youve never seen beans or rice or pasta or bread or other staples at a dollar store is insane.

Comments like this make me realize how awful the average persons diet is when they dont even know what beans and rice are lmao. Literally the cheapest foods are vegan. I eat beans, rice, pasta. Pb&Js. Apples ,bananas, sauteed veggies. If you have even a basic grasp of cooking this is the cheapest way to eat and still delicious

Id like to inform everyone that the cruel way they treat animals is how every single animal agriculture company treat their animals. 99% of animals in farms on earth are farmed in a way that meets the "factory farmed" description. Those "certified human" stickers on your grocery store meat is a label made by a board composed entirely of the CEOs of those exact companies theyre supposed to be regulating.

Its so dumb. "Human nature" according to who? Ignoring that appeal to nature is a logical fallacy its also just...fake. humans are social obligate primates. We naturally form small communal groups. We've interacted cooperatively and altruistically since before we were anatomical humans. If capitalism is human nature why did it take 19,700 years for anatomically modern humans to invent it. Because for one thing, commerce is not the same as capitalism. And even commerce is somewhat recent. Most of human history we didnt barter, pre-money barter economies are a myth. We had "gift economies" where we simply helped and gave each other what we needed. Without explicitly demanding a return but understanding others will help you out the same when you need it.

It is actually possible to live comfortably without an acre of sterile centimeter high grass around you. Many people around the world actually live in places that arent a suburban hellhole and are very happy

Maybe but that doesnt change that the forest and ecosystem is eradicated. Clearing an ecosystem and outting in a suburb is still a problem even if theres some trees and shrubs. The wildlife still suffers

Props for having an unpopular opinion. I think its interesting a self proclaimed anarchist has such an incredibly totalitarian belief. Also one that sounds rooted in a deeply right wing/bigoted style of thinking. "Men are inherently violent so we need to castrate them against their will to fit our view" wouldnt the much more logical conclusion be to try and change culture to one that discourages toxic masculinity? Rather than believing in a massive violation of human rights

Not really. Usually its just the Grimm version. There's no such thing as an "original" version to a folk tale. Or i suppose once there was but it was gone the second it was retold. That's the nature of oral tradition. There were countless retellings of the various fairy tales with different endings than the ones The Grimm Brothers went with in their books.

People will complain about climate change than complain about LITERALLY EVERY SINGLE ATTEMPT to improve it. Isnt this what people are always saying needs to happen?? That individual action isnt the way but we need legislature to fix everything? What did people think would happen if governments try to fight climate change? That our lives would in no way shape or form be affected?

I think meat is murder, but i still think we should kill billionaires.
The same way I wouldn't kill a cow for a burger, but Id defend myself if some wild animal was trying to kill me.

Exactly but talk to anyone, even the enlightened internet people who share climate change articles on here, and they seem convinced that the only way to fight climate change is to literally do nothing and wait for corporations to have their hearts grow like the grinch. They will aggressively atrack any suggestion that we are going to have to actually do something and also change out lifestyle.
It is going to take massive change, collective effort, and organizing. As well as individual changes to our daily lives. Even if those corporations and politicians all had a magic change of heart. The policies and economic changes would still result in a massive upheaval of our daily lives.

I haven't been able to get the hang of Jerboa yet. I've found Reddthat's mobile site to be cleaner /easier than jerboa atm
Howdy. Im trying to create Norse (mostly to make sure it doesnt fall into the hands of racists or something) Im on the mobile site. I fill in all information but when i click create nothing happens. It auto scrolls me back to the top of the page but i have no warning/indication i did anything wrong. It just doesnt do anything
I keep trying to make one. But when I finish writing the name and details I try hitting create and nothing happens, no comment that i did anything wrong either (im ont the mobile site btw) Im trying to wrap my head around all this stuff now that RIF is down 😅
