  • I think 2022 it was 1 person and most just got given a sentence and an ankle bracelet and served the sentence that way.

    This reminds me of the lone person refusing conscription in israel and the propaganda dismissing the actual number of people ending up in jail.

    “I’m not sure what you mean with this, what form would it take, some sort of militia or what sort of thing?”

    Putting an electronic bracelet on someone who refuse conscription it’s a big giveaway of government true intentions: they want to have control on people. Being under house arrests or in jail is a limit to the ability to defend yourself, not being drafted isn’t.

    You are such a bad faith actor it’s insane.

    We are discussing authoritarian laws that limits people freedom and the argument you are using is that “the law is the law”. You are being a bad faith actor yourself as big as the burj khalifa. If we were in nazi germany you would be backing the racist laws because they are laws.

    It’s a basic societal understanding that if we live in a society there will be laws to stop bad shit from happening.

    There’s more bad shit happening due to weed being illegal, like entire criminal organizations smuggling it which resulted in the government of france trying to ban encryption to fight them.

    I’m simply tagging here someone who just yesterday called me out for highlighting authoritarian shit in a thread claiming europe to be “the land of the free”.

    I have difficulty to believe people like you dont have an agenda and are not purposefully trolling.

    You sound to have a much bigger agenda if you ask me, i’m not taking the side of any authoritarian government or bill here.




  • As it currently stands, the morally correct option for food production would probably be for a large amount of the population to starve. That, of course, is also not entirely morally correct.

    Considering almost 1.5 billion adults in the world are overweight it wouldn’t be so bad to let some people starve.

    Guess what, most if not all veggies and vegans are also doing something morally dubious at best. Factory farming, extensive farming, they’re all bad for the soil, bad for native wildlife, bad for native plants. The societal impacts of factory farming are also not small. In the end, the moral lines people draw are mostly at different places, neither is undoubtedly better than the other.

    Animals needs to eat and drink too, the meat industry has the highest tool on the farming industry.

    I have personally tried to give up meat twice, once for 6 months and once for a year. On both cases my health suffered massively for it, and I went back to eating meat. I had a cousin who was, for many years, a hardcore vegetarian. She was also of the opinion that eating meat was wrong. A few years ago she reintroduced fish in her diet to overcome health issues after fighting them for years. Most symptoms subsided in a handful of months. I believe she now also eats beef, although infrequently and in small quantities. I’m sorry to be that guy but reality is more complex than whatever moral line any one of us would like to draw. You’re not wrong but it would behoove you to acquire some nuance on your thoughts.

    It sound like your diet was off, if you don’t eat animal products you need valid alternatives to complete and balance your diet. In cultures shaped around animal products it may not be automatic or easy to find alternatives. Our ancestors diet for example had less meat and more lentils, in countries were they consume less meat you are most likely to find popular dish with other proteins sources.
