NepNep being vegan would mean having to do her own grocery shopping and cooking instead of mommy and (step)daddy.

It's so perfect coming from Nepenthe.  I think most vegans are under no delusions that their diet is going to end factory farming or get people to change anything.  The ones that spend any time and energy lecturing people soon realize its a complete waste.  Also, if they have any self-awareness, they'd realize how fucking annoying they are and that they're driving people away.  Vegans are like 1 to 3% of the population and it never goes up.  It's obviously a niche moral practice taken up by an incredibly small group of people that want to live in a way that comports with their values for their own sake.   

There's not going to be some universal moral enlightenment - if anything, what will probably end factory farming at scale isn't moral persuasion or the practice itself, it will be capitalism.   Just as electric vehicles are now viable and popular, better technology and the market creates a higher standard for better and cheaper processes for lab-grown meat, better plant-based substitutes, price competition, getting rid of outdated production methods and machinery and the liability/bad optics of the system, cultural normalization etc if eventually a point is ever reached, where systematically killing animals for food becomes economically and socially obsolete.  Maybe, maybe not, but capitalism is literally the only economic case that raising and killing billions of animals in a shitty way will weaken at this point.   Again, it's all so fucking funny hearing: "You won’t change the whole world by doing this” as a serious argument against living according to your own values, coming from FUCKING NEPENTHE of all people.


Also, the lack of self-awareness and the brazenness of her being aghast at other people judging her with a moral argument the way she constantly judges and villifies other fucking people all day long with her own pet moral issues lol Complete narcissist hypocrite.   "Hey Nepenthe, why should anyone give you one second to air out your ethical concerns and for them to be taken seriously if you don't take anyone else's seriously?"  "Uhh, because my concerns are real objective truth and everyone else’s are just reactionary nonsense.  I know the theory.  Everyone borrows carrots and isn't immiserated by "incentives" in my socialist utopia.  It just works "

Nobody ever points out that the economy doesn't work like this, and it's impressive she can maintain this toddler belief that the world economy is zero-sum and that to earn wealth you have to take it from other people. That nobody ever injects value into the world or invents or innovates on things.  It's just a supply of pieces of paper that grow or diminish in supply and represent the same value since Mesopotamia, exchanging unevenly into undeserving hands because of the damn capitalismo. 

Why does she pay for anything if the value of the money in her pocket is always exactly as valuable or less valuable to her than the value of the good/service she's buying?

Being coerced means it's no longer charity. So yes, it becomes unethical when charity becomes theft.

Uh, these two things can't be squared. All wealth comes from the same place, how would it be different if you're a social worker or trash collector? If wealth is inherently exploitive in a capitalist system then receiving wealth, whether in the millions or just the hundreds or tens, is exploiting someone.

She's trying to create some baseline of income at which it becomes exploitative but this literally isn't possible, there's not even a possible way to explain it as such. Especially not without arguing that she exploits everyone with her lifestyle while sweatshop workers in the glorious nation of Vietnam don't. She wants to make this argument but she doesn't want to condemn herself and everyone else in the West.

She's using the far more literal version of the labor theory of value which would make any large scale operation, even the existence of ResetERA.com itself, to be exploitation of someone else because it's impossible to do without the movement of capital rather than physical labor. Even producing art would be exploitative because it requires the movement of capital not merely physical labor by a single person. Your paints or crayons or Photoshop on your laptop are all capital.

For the record, Marx does square this circle by redefining words. Because under socialism all of society operates as if it is a single individual (according to Marx) then exploitation ceases to exist because nobody in society does anything except what society wants and all production is done for societies use. It's literally tautological based around how he defines society. That's how the problem of actual capital never comes up, he just defines it away.

Nepenthe (and the rest of the Era anti-capitalists) has to object to this, because her utopia is where people are allowed to do whatever they want at the same time everything is provided to everyone, so she can't follow Marx. (Or any other traditional socialists.) But rather than come up with a new theory of exploitation they just regurgitate Marx's language without realizing it's all entirely dependent on both the literal labor theory of value and this concept of society acting as a single organism without any differences between the individuals within it.

Funniest part is this most likely happens because they haven't read the theory.

https://www.gofundme.com/f/juliesdentalreconstruction wrote:Hey. I'm Julie Muncy. I'm an online writer, specializing in videogames and technology, and I'm also a trans woman in the middle of her transition. And I need some help.

I suffer from a degenerative dental illness. For a very long time--as long as I can remember--my teeth have been falling apart. The reasons for this are varied, but they include genetics (two generations before me have had similar problems) and poverty, which kept me from getting proper dental care as a kid. I'm embarking on a long, painful process to fix this problem.

As of writing this, I've completed the first step in the process. All of my teeth have been surgically removed, and I have dentures. But that's only the first step. The goal of my treatment is to receive a full set of dental implants, fixed false teeth that replicate almost 100% the functionality and comfort of normal teeth. Implants are now considered the best, most functional dental replacement option. Dentures can cause gradual degredation of the jawbone, often break, and can leave gums open to irritation and infection--infection that can travel easily from the gums to the heart. Not to mention the significant social stigma that goes along with having dentures in the first place.

However, virtually no insurance in the United States covers dental implants, and they're not cheap. So I'm asking for your help. My goal here is the cost of one of two required sets of dental implants--the whole top or bottom of my mouth. I've already spent the vast majority of my savings on the initial surgery, and saving the necessary money as a writer (while also dealing with life expenses and the medical costs of gender transition)  is going to take a very long time, time during which my jawbone could further degrade, making the later implanatation process more difficult. Cutting that cost in half would change my life. Getting dental implants would also help me do better work; it would empower me to engage more heavily in podcasting, streaming, and speaking engagements.

So I'm asking you to donate if you can, and share this if you can't. It would absolutely mean the world to me. If by some miracle my $15,000 goal is reached, and there's still interest, I'll increase the goal to the full $30,000. Any money given me will go straight to my dental costs.

Thank you so much. If you have any questions, you can contact me via my twitter @juliemuncy23.

Still mad she got fucked over by Zenimax and didn't end up directing The Evil Within or anything at Tango Gameworks.

All the more frustrating when it's obvious she's queer.
 
I have never seen that thread lmaoooo 
 
Bubblegum just outright projected his weird gender/sex shit on a random game developer woman that he had an obsession with despite her being married to a man and having a child. This is one of the most psychotic posts I’ve seen on that forum in a hot minute. Even the rest of the thread got completely derailed by Bubblegum’s insanity.

It gets better

I did not want a derail but this involves Kamiya so what did I expect?

Even though I am a lesbian, it isn't right of me to speculate about her personal life. (I was going off some stuff she had publicly shared on social media but that doesn't change much.)

Edit: I'm leaving the thread.

Firaxis is releasing a new free, highly requested update to CivVII so you can play as one civilization from beginning to end...you know, like all of the other Civ games. 

The response.

literally shaking

At this point one of the worst posters on the board. Will just drop into a thread, smugly proclaim that the game or developers are racist and then disappears into the night again.
