  • several independent investigations were not able to substantiate the claims.

    Tyson was investigated by National Geographic and Fox to protect the shows they were producing starring him. I suppose the Natural History Museum looked into it enough to decide not to fire their star celebrity academic.

    So the investigations had massive conflicts of interest actually. And none of them had an interest in his actual guilt. An none of them were victim advocates.

    The accusations against Tyson are credible and they’ve never been properly investigated.

    You know, it’s that same right wing government’s hasbara for the 70 years to confuse the difference between an Israeli, a Jew, and a Zionist so they could use antisemitism as a cudgel and the Shoah as a shield.

    FINE: If I’m not allowed to criticize Israel without fixing antisemitism first, then Israel can’t have any more weapons or cover in the UN until they solve race relations in the US.

    This is ironic because the argument concedes vegan ideology, it’s just attacks them for not doing more. At this point the carnists are not really arguing, they’re negotiating terms of surrender.

    Most meat consumers already suspect vegans are right. We get aggravated because we’d rather ignore that question. And a vegan threatens to force the issue, even in our own mind. If you’ve ever wondered why vegans inspire automatic hostility, ridicule, and derision it’s because they threaten a carnists identity as a good person just by existing.








  • Personnel is much more apples to apples. Comparing spending between two nations muddies the waters.

    I assume you’re commenting on US spending, but consider that other countries don’t have to pay US wages and benefits to it’s soldiers, contractors, and manufacturers. If we could buy our weapons from India, recruit our soldiers from China, and build ships in S.Korea our defense budget would be much smaller without having to ration a single fighterjet.

    Did you know that we spend almost 4X as much on social programs than we do on the military today?
