  • “Animal husbandry, health, welfare and adherence to established biosecurity protocols are the most important factors for good on-farm practice, not the size or type of farm system.”

    uuhhuum - I’m sure the cows love being crammed into a pen where they can’t turn around and all they can do is eat, shit and get milked

    “If you are not treating your animals right they are not going to perform. They are not going to produce enough milk. It’s as simple as that.” - aaah there we go - it’s always about “performing” and “producing” and never about actual animal welfare…

    Does trapping Palestinians in Gaza, advocating for the war crime of collective punishment by stopping their water and food supply in favour of bombing civilians (“not a gram of humanitarian aid, but hundreds of tons of explosives from the Air Force”) a mistake as well? What about Ben-Ari’s comments that Palestinian children have brought this upon themselves? What about when Israel directly funded Hamas to undermine more peace oriented groups like the PLO (even after they recognized Israel’s sovereignty), was that a mistake too? At what point do these “mistakes” become genocidal intent in your opinion?






  • Same reason I don’t trust it - imagine rating fking BBC (the literal pro-state violence, austerity supporting, anti-immigration governmental mouth piece as “left-center”)

    It just distorts people’s perception of what political biases are and makes them complacent by relying on an automated bot to do the important work of using your own judgment for what constitutes as moral or justified.

    By letting it platform itself on lemmy, it’s basically inserting itself as the de facto expert on the topic - so for example, people overseas might see BBC rated as left-center and highly factual and start believing that wanting to “secure your borders” is a thing that UK leftist want. Well excuse me if I don’t want a privately owned (even if open source) US company deciding what political views others should have.



  • So by your logic everyone that drinks coke is an unethical shill that wants to fuck over workers worldwide and hates their health. This completely disregards people that don’t know that drinking it causes any of those things - I don’t see how they’re to blame for the propaganda machine that coke’s ad department is.

    Still if you do know about these things (and you seem to do) I sure hope you’re boycotting coke or otherwise you would be complicit in all the fucked up shit they get up to.
