wait, no, this is how everyone does math. right? …right?

if the only criteria is human deaths, sure. mosquitoes on the other hand have never caused a mass extinction and they’ve definitely never caused the sheer level of cruelty and suffering we inflict daily on the animals we factory farm. there’s really no competition.

adhd posting tip: when you inevitably write a 2000 word response to someone, go back when you’re done and rewrite the first paragraph so it actually sets up what you ended up writing about - cause otherwise it’s confusing for other people to read.

eugh, if they embedded them as posts, they’d be federating the ads as well.

I mean, that’s exactly what all three of those were intended to do – carry property law over into a domain where it clearly doesn’t make sense. so it’s fully . none of them should exist.

justifying the expropriation of surplus value through tired liberal platitudes - it’s almost like someone wrote a book 200 years ago explaining in gratuitous detail why you’re wrong.
