    I'm begging you, just once, pick up a book on ethics. Just once, take seriously that people consider animal exploitation and torment a serious enough topic to compare to the exploitation you consider serious and that the comparison of the two is not racism.

      I didn't realize Joe Biden was a champion of animal rights? You're bullshit is so thinly veiled

        It is a comment referencing the comments about the vegan struggle sessions, in case you are genuinely out of the loop.

            I don't know if you came at it hostile due to a genuine misunderstanding or not, but all day throughout threads people have been arguing over whether the comparison between animal rights and factory farming being slavery is a racist statement or not.

            And this user making the exact same comment about a clearly not racist comparison between Joe Biden and Barack Obama doing good things out to be racist is referencing and satirizing that discussion.

            That's my interpretation at least. Otherwise I don't see how the comment is funny.

              How is it clearly not racist? What has Biden done that was so much better than Obama?

              It's absurd that racist attitudes are prevalent even in socialist communities?

                It's not racist to think Biden has done things better than Obama, what?

                I don't agree with it, but an opinion doesn't become racist when one of the subjects is black.

                It's pretty easy to conceive of how someone could come to think that with Obama's 8 years of damage compared to Joe's one month of nothing, one of them has done less harm than the other.

                Are we in c/strugglesession?

                  Biden has done plenty of bad things already though?

                  Maybe do some self analysis to recognize how deeply how ingrained racists attitudes can be and how they 'slyly' manifest themselves.

                    He has, Syria, ICE, etc. I don't like him and don't agree with the take.

              You do understand that the person you linked is also the same person you're talking to right? They aren't referencing the vegan posts, at all, and are questioning the Obama=bad/Biden=good logic? Once again, please take this shit to the struggle comm because this has absolutely nothing to do with veganism or the recent posts

                I do, I wanted to clarify which comment I was talking about.

                You don't know what they're referencing, and I thought they were referencing the thing the site is currently filled to the brim with, and still do.

                But that's interpretation I suppose, we're both free to it.
