You can feel how you want, but the water burden thing is just factually incorrect. A pound of beef uses a LOT more water to raise than a pound of lentils. Or are you forgetting that you also have to use water to grow the stuff that the cow eats?

I removed myself from the food chain a decade and a half ago by forgoing meat entirely. Now I don't have to have weird moral arguments with myself.

Edit: My bad, I read your reply wrong. I think the U.S. is beginning to strain. The way to weaken it further and get things tumbling down is with prefiguration and direct action. Which is happening. It's just not an overnight process.

But things are balkanizing here quickly

When you said that football guy kneeling wasn't political, I started to seriously question what your motives are. He literally knelt, during the national anthem, in a political protest against police brutality. Politics isn't capitol hill bullshit. I'm fairly certain that you don't have a deep enough understanding about politics to come in here and be the arbiter of what is and isn't political.

While I understand the sentiment of your statement, and I think it was well intentioned, I think you're wrong

Star Wars is a movie about the policy of an authoritarian government, and the actions of those that fall on both sides of that policy. It's explicitly political. It was written to be so.

The U.S. SHOULD lose its place. It should cease to exist. As should all of the other states

Nope. I feel the same way about NATO. How could anybody call themselves a leftist and think in suck a backwards, early 20th century "RUSSIA VS AMERICA" way?

Found the landlord, guys

Yeah, most Americans are generally not into the "USA USA USA" cult-like behavior of it all. Most of us are just regular people working shitty jobs to pay for shitty places to live. And all the grandstanding and "Do something!" from your rant is extremely disingenuous to the people are fucking doing something. Just because you don't hear about it doesn't mean it's not happening. And you're kind of an asshole for generalizing a whole people like that.

Oh but I heard he lives in a humble little house in Omaha!

"Humble Little House in Omaha"----->

The law is NOT the "only thing holding us back from killing each other". There isn't some crowd of killers ready to go, but oh shucks they just respect the law way too much. What a ridiculous notion. If the law prevented us from killing each other then nobody would ever kill anyone.

Seriously! I just read this and I was like, fuck, I remember being 16 too
