Of course they can? They’re animals? They have brains? They need to think strategically in order to survive attacks by predators in the wild???
Do people really think that horses are just here to get humans around faster and that there’s nothing going on in there?
spooky green line stay away
Does no one deserve hostility? I think there are many people who deserve hostile treatment. Are we to sit around and politely chat with nazis? No, fuck 'em, verbal abuse is the least they deserve.
This comment addressed that pretty well.
Genocide doesn’t have to involve any direct killing. The problem isn’t that you fail to produce evidence of killing, it’s that you fail to produce any evidence of genocide at all.
Why is it that no muslim country in the world agrees with your assessment of this “genocide?” Why is it that the country which, in the 2010s, was dropping bombs on Uyghurs is now their greatest advocate? Doesn’t that sound a little fishy to you? Could it be that this is a lie fabricated to weaken the greatest enemy of the US? No, couldn’t possibly be. Back to believing everything US news says.
Because clearly fascist symbolism is not given a pass.
the literal fasces is all over US government buildings and symbols
over petty debates about terminology and language
they were defederated over ableism and transphobia of one of their powermods, and the implicit support of those things by the head admin. we take that kind of shit seriously. we tried our best to make it work, but reactionary mods who are ableist in their modlog entries are not compatible with hexbear
Many non-liberals support capitalism
Which ones do you have in mind? I’m not even saying you’re wrong, I can think of examples myself. (I did say it wasn’t a 100% perfect definition) Nevertheless, it is still the definition I truly use. If I saw someone defending capitalism I would call them a liberal regardless of whether it was 100% accurate.
What? Do you look in the dictionary to find exhaustive encyclopedia articles about topics? Do you need me to define capitalism too, is that why my definition is too vague? Do you need me to define “support?” What part of my definition are you confused about?
If someone asks you what a tuque is, are you unsatisfied until you have talked about the Welsh town of Monmouth and the methods they used in the 15th century to stitch caps? Or would you tell them that it’s a knit fucking cap

That’s not a definition, that’s an extremely thorough article about liberalism.
Words only have meaning if their definition is agreed upon
I mean you really don’t have to agree, you just have to understand. It doesn’t matter what you think the definition of liberal should be as long as you know what I mean when I say it. And now you do. So, how about you define your terms now so that there can be effective two-way communication? As it stands, the communication only goes one way. You understand me, but I don’t understand you. That doesn’t seem very fair. From the article you linked:
Through all these strands and traditions, scholars have identified the following major common facets of liberal thought:
- believing in equality
Please resolve the inequality present in this conversation.

No, liberals are people who support capitalism. It might not be a 100% perfect definition but it’s the one I use. Now you know the definition of my term, how about you define yours?

That’s all well and good until there evolve predators that have complex brains and can think about how best to approach you such that you don’t know they’re there
If you think just running away from predators you see and otherwise putting absolutely no thought into the existence of predators is sufficient you would not last long in the wild lol
