Example: I believe that IP is a direct contradiction of nature, sacrificing the advancement of humanity and the world for selfish gain, and therefore is sinful.
Edit: pls do not downvote the comments this is a constructive discussion
Edit2: IP= intellectal property
Edit3: sort by controversal
rights are not real, and convincing people they have them actually allows their sovereignty to be infringed.
Following the Rule of law seems to be my super-power
If you count humans as animals then cocaine and clothing from companies like Temu and Shein aren’t vegan.
Cocaine manufacturing and distribution is full of human exploitation and suffering. Using it should go against the vegan ethos of avoiding consumption of things that are the product of exploitation. Similar to honey, milk, or eggs.
Similarly, Shien and Temu make nearly all of their products using slave labor in terrible working conditions using dangerous chemicals without any precautions.
Simply being family doesn’t mean you get to remain in my life. Cut off anyone who is toxic or otherwise not good for your life and health. This includes parents.
After a decade it is still surprising to me how many people seem appalled by my no contact situation. I’m sorry, but I’ve wasted enough of my life on them and wishing for a fantasy dynamic that will never exist.
“But they’re your blood…”
So what.
“But they’re your family…”
No they’re not. I made new family.
Some people have really judged me for this decision. I judge others as they complain about their toxic families they never do anything about.
You can take a penny, but you don’t have to leave a penny.
That self-defense is not a justification for lethal force.
ITT: lots of morals that most people (here) agree with. Predictable.
The purpose of an education is to learn how to think, not how to work.
A lot of universities are being treated as training centers for the world of work - and this is not ok.
my take was so provocative. I just deleted my comment after typing it all. look at the comments and replies in this thread it’s not worth it lol
It’s okay to call stupid people stupid to their face - them, their ideas, whatever it is that they’re doing dumb. In the U.S. we’ve gone too far over on the “tolerate all people and their views” which has allowed fascism and MAGAts to gain far too much power - putting idiots in their place is (or at least would have been) the best way put it back where it belongs.
I totally agree. Intellectual property is a capitalist myth created only for the purpose of beating other people away from progress.
Any civilized society would believe in the free commerce of ideas.
Your feelings are not facts.
Being offended, doesn’t mean you’re in the right and the other person is in the wrong.
Just because your religion says something (or claims it does), doesn’t put you in the right.
Any kind of forced or mandated treatment for drug/alcohol users by law is wrong and punishing people for refusing treatment is also wrong.
Against IP as in if I spend my life creating something you’d be ok with a big company just stealing it and steam rolling me?
There is no utility in punishment. Wanting people who wronged you to suffer isn’t a desire for justice, but a desire for revenge. Dangerous people can be stopped from hurting others without locking them in cages or treating them poorly.
