    Lynchings were normal, should we bring them back too? Normality doesn’t equal what’s right.

      should we bring them back

      only for people that insist on cheapening human suffering by comparing people to livestock.

        It is possible to care about human suffering and also animal suffering. I can say supporting factory farming is horrible, and the way we treat some people is horrible. Most sane people don’t want animals tortured, and are outraged when someone hurts their pet, but then also support factory farming because having a pig in a 3ft by 3ft cage sitting unable to move for its entire life is based actually.

        At least animals don’t create fascist dictators who threaten nuclear war every time they feel insecure about their small penises.

        Not really sure why it’s taken for granted that animals are such low forms of life that being compared to them in any manner is a horrifying insult (it isn’t). And no, I’m not vegan I’m just not so brainwashed I cannot imagine empathy for animals.

            Implying that comparing humans to “livestock”, a word whose purpose itself is to demean, is “cheapening” human life then yes that was absolutely said
