The Legendary Dragon Alephwyr, named Alephwyr, BA

as is well known, the fact that i am fucking over affiliative epistemic cleansing makes me chock full of creeping cryptofascism interestingly, i find that the rate of creep tracks remarkably well with the rate of expansion of what cryptofascism consists of

In many ways you're the opposite of a fascist, which unfortunately in your case is sort of like being a zebra with its stripes reversed.

lololol fuck

For instance, you have a generally libertarian outlook but also support (as in, don't even acknowledge the badness in a "gee, how unfortunate" sort of way) industrial scale harm to animals, whereas fascists have a generally authoritarian outlook but support animal rights. etc etc

tbh i do think more humane farming is a nice-to-have, i just don't give vegans any ground on it because it's the dishonest point of a wedge

I think animal harm obligates an eventual transition to synthetic meat, & that harm in general as an unavoidable consequence of biology obligates an eventual transition away from biology into artificial consciousness. Trying to force society to make "better decisions" won't work.

yeah, one could roll that way. i'm leaning more toward decatastrophizing the concept of harm
