Jon Ronson’s podcast miniseries on the culture wars talk about when abortion was adopted by the evangelical movement. It had a lot to do with some prominent pastors’ son regretting an abortion. I don’t remember the specifics, but that miniseries was great.

Really? Are there pro-choice christians?

Yeah, it’s fantastic. I don’t know how I spent so much time in gnome before finding KDE, I can’t imagine going back. I guess there could be something better out there, I’d love to know about it if there is.

And if you weren’t clearly in highschool…

What’s the average amount of student loan forgiveness that students have received? Do you think it is more or less than a months rent?

Yeah, because corrupt people who can completely control everyone in the government just can’t quite figure out how to beat the voting system. It is definitely in the people’s hands with this vote!

Well, I think we should be thankful for the progress you made. It’s so nice to see you now talking against factory farms. Hopefully, you are stro g enough to put your money where your mouth is. Talk only does so much, it’s who you support with your energy that really matters.

I have. You just are blind to anything that challenges your behavior. Luckily, you have managed to reverse your stance somewhat on factory farms. That’s a great win. I hope it sticks with you.

You already have been presented the explanation of this. It is up to you to understand it.

This is great progress, not long ago you were.

It’s incredibly easy to search, I have provided an article, but there are many many more that you can easily find. It’s been known for a long time. And isn’t disagreed on.

I’m against factory farms. You are for factory farms. It would be incredible if you now try to switch this as well. It would be such progress if you now start trying to attack factory farms for their vile practices.

Factory farms are exclusively run by corporations. I highly doubt this is news to you.

Not at all a hard search:

The issue isn’t a lack of evidence. The issue is your denial of anything that questions your behavior. The problem you are facing is looking at yourself, not at being unable to use a search engine.

The reason they feel like personal attacks is because your ego is so twisted around your emotional dependence on a deplorable addiction. If you were able to separate your ideas from yourself, then me questioning your ideas wouldn’t be so deeply offensive to you. The trouble is that you can’t fathom a life without paying people to destroy the environment and treat animals horribly. This is because you think living without cheap animal products simply isn’t an option. I assure you it is, and after your withdrawal, you will actually feel better. It may not take nearly as long or be nearly as unbearable as you are fearing. Really, truly. Most people who have put their morals above their pleasure have gone through this very thing, and I’m confident you can as well.

It is incredibly ironic that you see yourself as a moral force for good while vehemently defending some of the most atrocious practices in the world today. I hope you are able to cast aside your addiction so you can see clearly enough to actually do some good. It is clear that you find your behavior deplorable, it is just that you can’t fathom giving up on your precious factory farms.

By the way, once again, you made up this vegan thing. Go look for me saying anyone should be vegan. You’ve created a fictional world, and even a fictional person to argue against because you have no leg to stand on in the real world arguing against a real person.

The emissions happen because people financially support them. It isn’t hard to grasp. You just don’t want to feel responsible. I know I’m not responsible for it, and I don’t have to try to pretend that my money doesn’t help continue what they do. You have to pretend or admit guilt, and at this point you can’t bring yourself to admit to what you are doing.
