  • They saved fuck-all.

    Shithole USSR was as imperialist as shithole russia is now. Only seek to occupy land, rape and deport people, and leave nothing but ruin behind.

    Somehow a lot of Lemmy tends to forget about how the deal USSR made with Nazi Germany to divide and split Europe amongst themselves? And only fought Nazis to defend their occupied lands.

    I agree. While I feel like I couldn’t kill a mouse/rat with my hands and watch it die, but I think I could make myself set a trap that kills the animal instantly out of my sight.

    Very interesting point you’ve made!

    Emotional bond or no, I don’t have it me to walk up to a (random or raised) animal and slit its throat. Especially when it’s raised by me.

    If it was a matter of life or death - that’s a different topic. Right now, there’s no reason to eat animal meat, except for “yummy”.

    The meat industry has done a “marvelous” job of disconnecring “killing” with “consuming meat”. No, I don’t feel like I’m killing the animal, because I’m not doing it.

    I’m eating meat because it’s “yummy”. But that wasn’t what I said in the original comment. I said if I had to choose (which I currently don’t have to do). And I said I couldn’t kill an animal with my own hands, just because it’s tasty, because I’m not a psycho.

    Apparently, I don’t have a issue when a psycho does it and delivers me the meat, of an animal I have never seen before.

    I wish it wasn’t this way, and I’m trying to reduce my meat consumption (and I have, by a lot). But we don’t live in an ideal world.

    Same with climate change. You know that people are already dying because of it. I’m nor directly killing the people, but they are dying because of it. And me being “comfortable” adds to climate change (even if it’s a minute addition, just like eating a Big Mac is a minute part of the killed animal)
