    The subreddit was not as good as this site. It had way more libs, and your posts and comments would easily get buried and no one would interact with them. I'm not nearly online enough to comment on posts within the first hour, or even 2 hours. So most of what I posted on the sub was typing into the void. Here, though, you can really tell that people appreciate each other, even (or especially?) when we argue.

    We're better when we don't put everything under one roof to compete for the same generalized attention. c/main, stay ded.

      The more libs was actually kind of good in some ways.

      Who am I going to demand to 'post hog' now?

        It gets sooooo old. Same lib takes and half assed 'gotcha' points we've all heard a million times and the same dunks we have in the chamber forever as a response.

      The site has indeed overtaken the subreddit in greatness and in humor, I think it happened a couple months ago.

      MF's forget that russiagate was once an upvoted opinion on the old sub, some folks may not believe that, but I was there in the first week of July 2018 I saw the upvotes with my own commie eyes

      No matter what happens hexbear will never get that cringe

      spoiler

      old sub was still cool tho, but this place is more evolved and developed

        I mean it's 100% true that the mob (possibly Russian?) has leverage over Trump, and that he was Putin's preference, and that Russia did what Russia could be expected to do. But not like a full-blown 10-million-person operation.

          reminder: being vegan means doing everything you can to oppose animal exploitation, if you really can't avoid some animal products (which is much, much rarer than carnists would like you to believe) you can still do everything else in your power to stop the ongoing genocide of our non-human comrades. Also, half the vegans I know have an eating disorder and going vegan has helped them manage it better

            I know hella ppl who can’t be vegan because if eating disorders and i know a lot of vegans who will tell you that ever having a drop of honey is shamed. Shaming ppls eating habits who already struggle with eating somehow doesn’t help.

                “Cosmetics tested on animals.” You know most companies lie about this info & then hide it only for it to come out a decade later they were using it on animals. I don’t usually ask peoples cosmetic brand choices.

                  so because it's hard you don't bother? You completely sidestepped my question, do those people use their disability as an excuse not to do anything or do they do what they can with the cards they've been delt?

                    I answered the question you asked. Now you just asked a new question which I pretty much addressed in my previous answer. I don’t tend to ask those sorts of questions.

                    But I have met some strict vegans who never eat meat, but did buy some leather shoes because they really liked them. Did they lose their vegan card when they did that?

                      Nope you didn't.

                      Yes. You can't be a feminist or an anti-racist only when convenient either. If you knew some chocolate uses slave labour, would you still buy it because some brands say they don't use any but still do? Even if it's cheaper to buy the one claiming non-slave labour?

                        Purity testing always ends so well.

                        I don’t expect people to do research on every product they buy and know exactly how it was sourced. And only purchase products claiming to be ethically sourced because no product is ethically sourced under Capitalism.

                        This is the you can change the world with your wallet doctrine. And it’s liberalism.

                        Encouraging people to tend to local gardens and organize people around locally sourced food is a way to actually change our relationship to the products we consume, but just bullying people for going to target instead of Amazon does nothing and really makes no difference in the world.

                        Anti-racism and feminism is an ongoing theory that’s constantly evolving and people are going to make mistakes and learn from them. If we purity tested people about how good of a feminist someone is or has been in their life we would end up getting nowhere. This is part of binary thinking that so many are attached to.

                          Veganism is the moral baseline, the absolute minimum. You're such a liberal that you can't even do that nor imagine more radical, wide-reaching actions and thus mistake that minimum for purity testing

    I prefer when people just post wherever they think is relevant and then we can shit on them in the comments for getting it wrong
