He's got us there. As a white person, I can indeed confirm that each and every last one of us shot the good Dr King. All I can say is that it seemed a good idea at the time.

And now that I've told, I can probably expect to be yelled at at the next meeting.

Okay, fine, fair enough. I got pissed off at that whole "you're not allowed to be angry with your shit treatment because MLK" implication the original post had going, but sure, not every single white person shot the guy simultaneously. But I don't think anyone was claiming that literally every single white person did, either.

Well, no, probably not. I don't think "you whites shot him" means "I literally think every single white person was holding that gun". But assuming it means anything, it lays the blame of MLK's murder at the feet of white people as a class.

Which, whether it's true or not, is kind of shitty rhetorical tactic to use.

There's also the implication that MLK's tactics didn't work.

I wasn't taking a jab at you. Just taking the piss out of the last guy in the original post.

At least maybe the NRA would react differently if its members were systematically targeted by mass shootings.

Which means there would be less mass shootings in the end. Sooo... not sure it'd be a good thing per se, but at least it'd be better.

Taking the name of one of the best characters in Game of Thrones to spout bullshit?  You really are looking to get the shit whipped out of ya, aren't you?

2 year olds are the biggest enforcers of patriarchy.

So basically,

if you do any of these things:

    consume meat (yes, that includes fish), dairy, eggs or any other animal derived “food” product
    wear leather/fur/wool/silk or any other animal derived form of “fashion”
    go to zoos/circusses and other places where animals are held in confinement for your viewing pleasure

you hate animals and no amount of bullshit rationalization can justify your participation in this fucking holocaust.

just a friendly reminder.

Found this on the carnist tumblr tag. Generally a gold mine.

Heil ze meat.

The other day I fried up some bacon, then grilled burgers in the bacon juices, then put the bacon on top of the burgers.

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Quote from: Supreme Court of Canada
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

I wonder how these people would react to being told that animals eat each other all the damn time.
