Most people dont have heart attacks, so 2.5 times that is not really much.

In your ecample, doing something that aligns with your values still gives you something in return, for example a sense of accomplishment or pride. That was the point

You do realise none of the examples you brought up are actual communism. Theyre all bad attempts that were taken advantage of.

Thats like saying religion in general is bad because christianity ruined it

When SD card is the only criteria for a ‘high end’ phone

Do you have an example at hand? Genuinely interested

Youre right, unfortunately the popular alternatives are not great, either.

By adding ‘this misses the point’ at the beginning you yourself made this a debate about the post, not your preference. You can spend whatever you want on stuff you want, but many people arent aware that apple is charging them twice what the device is worth, just because of their monopoly, and that was the point.

Yeah because everyone gladly spends a few hours of theit time searching for a meme they have seen somewhere a year ago…

If your ‘opinions’ are insults, you should think about your worth as a human being

No, they just dont support your bullshit

Yes thats totally whats going on 🙄

anyone can see what you said

Please dont twist my words. I didnt compare anything. And if I did, I would have compared animal cruelty with slavery (both as unethical acts), not animals with slaves (the recipients of cruelty).

Good point, but I never said they were the same, nor did I compare them. I just made an argument about passive involvement in unethical doings which some regard as normal.

Did you really just call stuffing 10 pigs in a cell smaller than my toilet, leaving them unable to even turn around, feeding them with drugs and then killing them without ever having seen the sun ‘nature playing out’? Good one.

Exactly! My ancestors didnt pay for slavery, they just wanted cotton. Everyone need cotton, right? I mean they wouldve harvested the cotton themselves, but it was way cheaper from neighboring farmers for whatever reason. That didnt concern them though, they had enough prpblems!

Found the person that is

Please dont vote. I have a good guess where that vote would go
