Viruses exist independent of any humans. Their evolution is much more rapid and has little to nothing do do with diet.
The fragility of the capitalist system has been tested multiple times, and it fails to take i to consideration practically everything else besides the profit motives of the benefactors of the ruling class.
Bootlickers are so dense

>>15202994
>Viruses exist independent of any humans.
Weird how they almost always come from china.
Also the problem is globalism, not capitalism

>>15202994
Auntie, are you a happy person? I just wonder because I notice you keep thinking a long ideological lines. Saying the problem is capitalism is like saying the sky is blue. You labeled our system and called it capitalism. Ideology 101. It gets us no where. How are you more right than me if I say the problem is human greed, selfishness, and hatred? Or do you think none of that matters

>capitalism is literally as natural as the blue sky!
HA! Talk about ideology. You must be thinking of “markets” or some shit.
There’s a thread up now asking about philosophers who’ve shaped your worldview positively, and as usual, none of them has mentioned Epicurus.
I am probably one of the happiest people who’s ever posted here.
Human greed, selfishness and hatred are all encouraged by this systemic problem that has its roots in what we call capitalism.
Statism too, but even that becomes tamed if we can take out certain parts of capitalism.
How can humanity mature, grow, unless it removes this narcotic from its brain?

>has little to nothing do do with diet.
Majority of viruses are contracted through the consumption of flesh or trafficking of animals. Abstinence from flesh would significantly reduce the amount of zoonotic diseases transmitted to humans from other animals.

80% of the world antibiotic supply goes to animal agriculture rapidly increasing the development of antibiotic resistant diseases.

Okay, I’ll give ya that.

Age is nothing Butterfly. You simply are convinced you know everything.

This weekend I had a meeting with my superior and we both agreed our superior was an idiot (or at least entertained the possibility he could be) :3

Everything is not about age, and you are obviously an example that when you get older people will not automatically respect you.

Respect is built upon mutual respect. You can't just get on top of a pile of trash (like 4chan) and expect everyone to suck your dick (or vag, in your case).

Just remember that reality, and specifically politics, is always more complicated than you think. Yes it can be a dark world, but it's not hopeless. Neither is 'capitalism', or whatever you would call this. Everything is fixable.

>>15203055
I wasn’t saying capitalism is natural or unnatural, it shows how ideological you are that this was the first connection you saw. I am saying is all you have done is NAME the system that we have found ourself in. You do realize the way out of “capitalism” has to do with us as individuals right? Nobody will see the errors in “capitalism” until they “wake up”. The people aren’t ready for a new political system auntie, if they were you would notice it.
Telling everyone about your ideology isn’t going to create people that are capable of changing the status quo. At best you are going to create followers. My point is you are so fixated on the abstract concept that you are forgetting that US HUMANS created a system that is a reflection of our values. But of course it’s just the evil oppressors keeping us down right... everybody wants to have a scapegoat
We are in this mess, because you, me, and everyone else here is still essentially a child.

Also, this guy in pic related is a major fucking cringefest. He probably doesn't believe in God, and he preys on others' fear of death. :3

I'm not afraid of death, or dying for what I believe in, obviously, are you?

Cringe.

As I see it, we need to replace the older system with something that works better right out from underneath it. Convincing the masses to side with it before the state can squash it.
This is an economic systems change that will facilitate a new and genuine political system. What we have now isn’t actual politics but statecraft. The *polis* is ready as they are always fed up with the failings of their ruling and governing class. They just don’t want any liberties, either real or imagined, taken away. So I say give them more.
People who find the time to discover the truth of this world system are not children any longer. It is unfortunate that I and others like me are not also great organizers.
I’ll have to learn.

>80% of the world antibiotic supply goes to animal agriculture rapidly increasing the development of antibiotic resistant diseases.
>antibiotic resistant diseases.

Antibiotics are for non-viral diseases but in my post I said diseases in general, not just viruses. The threat isn't exclusive to antibiotic use in though, it includes all antimicrobial drugs, which would include viruses, I just didn't specify that in my post.

>>15203196

>Abstinence from flesh

Abstinence from flesh forbidden by Islam seems to suffice. Seems it's not just an arbitrary rule.

>>15203289
>Not great organisers
Read more Lenin. I know much of the Left like to poopoo the whole concept of a vanguard, but I suspect that's a psyop to keep any real organisation. Read up on dual power especially, just start to construct the new, breakaway society in the cracks of the old one.

Nassim "the man" Taleb, and that's it.

>>15204164
Bookchin etc. yeah.

>>15204294
Bookchin was a loser.

>>15204294
>>15204365
Nah, Bookchin just has it backwards, like most political philosophers: As long as domination of nature exists, domination or hierarchy within humanity will exist.

>>15203055
Holy mother of logical fallacies. Cringing @ ur life rn lmao

>’The fragility of the capitalist system has been tested multiple times’
It’s 2020, the minority of socialist states that haven’t collapsed already are either on the brink of it, or have liberalized their economies. The burial that Khruschev was so eager to promise has yet to come, and nearly a century later the capitalist system is still going strong throughout America and the world.
I wouldn’t be talking about lasting the test of time if I were in your shoes.
