I’m a spiritually-inclined person. Also think it’s totally legit to be atheist. You’d think that actively wanting diversity of belief would be reasonable, but evidently a lot of people just want uniformity and cultural erasure.

Easy to point the finger at everyone doing this, but every person who continues buying and consuming animal products are still most primarily to blame for this situation.
If this does become a new pandemic, we might be talking about an unprecedented ~50% of the human population killed. A real life Thanos event. Thanks omnivores.
Why are the animal’s choices never considered in this equation? Freedom is something the west places a high value on, but it’s generally agreed that freedom should never go so far as to harm others, yet your “freedom” to choose what to eat is resulting in a horrifying sort of perpetual holocaust.
Why is your fleeting sensory pleasure (something that can be had just as easily from plants) more important than the entire lives and wellbeing of all the animals you paid to have killed?
Is there any difference? Would killing and carving up the body parts of a dinosaur for your sensory pleasure be any less cruel if it happened in the dinosaur’s own time?
Yeah but the aesthetic!
PGP/GPG. I would like to see the web of trust take off. Also I love the aesthetic for anything that’s been signed, and would like to see blog posts everywhere be nested by long blocks of random symbols.
Maybe y’all need to consider, isn’t it strange to fantasize about bringing extinct (potentially) sentient beings back into existence for the sole purpose of killing them again and carving up their body parts for sensory pleasure?
Solarpunk is not just about technology, it’s specifically about being critical toward new technologies with a special emphasis on the social and environmental impacts they have.
The single largest blindspot that cryptocurrency enthusiasts have is in not recognizing that their systems are inseparable from computers, and that computers in and of themselves are an environmental disaster.

This is a little confusing to me. Clearly the arguments are centered around cryptocurrencies and on that note it’s exactly right - those are a steaming pile of shit that have no place in solarpunk. But the language of this post sounds inclusive of all forms of encryption, and that’s problematic given the essential role of various forms of encryption for protecting privacy, and the security of those with little or no political power.
Beans (usually black beans, but I’ve been looking more into other varieties lately), lentils, peas, soy curls, tofu, tempeh, tvp, rice, oat groats, barley, quinoa, bulgur, amaranth, other grains I can’t remember at the moment, and seitan: wherever most people would use mutilated body parts.
One popular answer is that sometimes people just experience things that they find scientific answers to not be able to answer adequately. We as a species are still far from knowing everything.
