    I really don’t like these jokes because I think they make light of how bad the Nazis were. Obviously fascism in the US is very very bad right now. But by 1939, antisemitic policies and action in Germany had become so bad that most Jews who were able to had already fled the country. The KZs for example already held around 60.000 people, and the Nazis murdered hundreds of Jews during the November pogroms of 1938.

    I am fine with jokes linking the US right now to Germany in like 1935 or something.





  • I would argue that no, it is not morally wrong per se to be non-vegetarian. Meat consumption is not morally wrong in general, it is just morally wrong in our society. We kill way too many animals to be sustainable and every animal you eat contributes to that. We harm climate and ecosystems to sustain our meat consumption. We hold animals captive and make them hurt and suffer. In this society you can not eat meat in a morally okay way.
