  • Yes it is. Animals need that meat inside their bodies, taking it is stealing.

  • Remove Nutomic from Lemmy development for transphobia - Change.org

  • No, and I see your point. Sorry for forgetting that we're stronger together. I'm making a stand right now and saying Nutomic is a fake socialist who values power over fairness, and his erasure of indigenous communism is deeply racist. He should also be fired for his denial of genocide.

  • I want the Lemmy project to stop giving money to Nutomic. I think they should hire a trans developer instead. I mean, Lemmy is written in Rust, which is the gayest programming language, so it should be easy to find one.

  • Well, I think people who support fascists trying to coup the government deserve to be shot, and people who encourage millions not to get vaccinated against deadly plagues also deserve to be shot.

  • I'm deliberately choosing not to make this about my own views on anarchy vs fake authoritarian socialism, because I want to find common ground with the Lemmy development team in terms of agreeing that transphobia has no place in any version of leftism and no place on Lemmy

    In October 2023, an English instructor at Arizona State University, who was listed on the Professor Watchlist and was a co-founder of Drag Story Hour Arizona, was followed across ASU by a two-member TPUSA crew repeatedly asking him accusatory questions; he was pushed onto concrete from the back after appearing to try to push away a camera.[98][99] The instructor, David Boyles, said the resulting wounds to his face were "relatively minor" and said the incident occurred after his class about LGBTQ+ youth in pop culture and politics.[98][100] ASU's president said TPUSA was at fault for harassment and violence,[101] while TPUSA posts on social media blamed Boyles.[98] ASU's president said he had previously contacted TPUSA in order to have professors at the school removed from the Professor Watchlist but was not given a response.[100][101]

    Kirk ordered harassment and violence against academics who teach students that queer people exist

    After the 2020 election, Kirk disputed the results and denied that Trump had lost.[134] On January 4, 2021, Kirk announced in a tweet that Turning Point Action would be sending more than 80 buses to a January 6, 2021, Trump "Stop the Steal" rally near the White House in Washington, D.C., to protest the outcome of the election.[135][136][137][138] They sent seven buses with approximately 350 participants.[135] Turning Point Action also funneled money to several "Stop the Steal" rally speakers, including Kimberly Guilfoyle, but did not organize or take part in the march to the Capitol that erupted in violence.[9][139] The rally, which was attended by several thousand Trump supporters, ended in a riot and the attack at the U.S. Capitol, where Biden's win was about to be certified.[136] Kirk later deleted the tweet[137] and said on his podcast that it was "bad judgment" and "not wise" to enter the Capitol but not necessarily insurrectionist.[140] A Turning Point Action spokesman later said the group condemns political violence.[136]

    Kirk supported Trump's attempted coup of the government

    In December 2017, The New Yorker published an article by Jane Mayer showcasing interviews with former minority members of TPUSA. Former staff members said they witnessed widespread discrimination against minorities in the group; "the organization was a difficult workplace and rife with tension, some of it racial," The New Yorker said.[14][141] One former employee, an African-American woman, said she was the only person of color working for the organization at the time she was hired in 2014; she then said that she was fired on Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

    Kirk is a racist boss

    Several former employees and student volunteers for Turning Point USA claimed they had witnessed collusion between high-ranking Turning Point USA employees – including Kirk himself and top advisor Ginni Thomas – and the presidential campaigns of both Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. The interactions included Kirk coordinating via email with two officials at a pro-Cruz super PAC to send student volunteers to work for the PAC in South Carolina, as well as two students being requested by Thomas herself, via voicemail, to distribute over 200 Cruz placards in Wisconsin.[14] A former employee for TPUSA, who had been based in Florida, alleged that Turning Point USA had given the personal information of over 700 student supporters to an employee with Rubio's presidential campaign.[14]

    Kirk helped conservative politicians get elected through collusion

    In 2021, Kirk compared Biden's vaccination efforts to an "Apartheid-style open air hostage situation", even though co-founder Bill Montgomery had died the previous year from COVID-related health complications.[10][156][157] The organization also made misleading claims about the dangers of catching COVID-19. Kirk's spokesperson said they are not anti-vaxx, reiterating that "the vaccine makes logical sense for millions of Americans" but they should "have the freedom to choose". Kirk was advocating against vaccine mandates and passports for healthy young people.[10]

    Kirk is a spreader of plague

    In 2017, Jane Mayer of The New Yorker described two separate actions by TPUSA staff in the 2016 election that appear to have violated campaign finance regulations.[14] Kirk denied any wrongdoing and said it was "completely ludicrous and ridiculous that there's some sort of secret plan".[14] TPUSA attorney Sally Wagenmaker refuted allegations of campaign finance irregularities in an article published by ProPublica in July 2020, stating that "payments to businesses belonging to organization officials 'provided a compelling operational benefit in Turning Point USA's best and other interests,' and that they were 'in full compliance with TPUSA's IRS-compliant conflict of interest policy.'"[165]

    Kirk is in trouble with the government for tax evasion in connection with funding fascist politicians

  • Eating meat is mean, it's just an example of a bad thing a lot of people do. The point is we've all done bad things, but we can all be redeemed if we stop doing bad things. Like eating meat.

    BTW the fact that Hitler shot himself is hilarious

  • Fuck yeah I'm happy Kirk is dead. He was a mass murderer, he just did it with a camera instead of a knife. I take glee in knowing his reign of terror is at an end, and I think it's funny that he was stopped halfway through making an asinine point about transgender gun violence.

  • Well then if you ever ate meat, you were never a good person. But I think people can be corrupted and they can be redeemed, and people who eat meat because society encourages it can be rehabilitated.

  • Yeah, but psychological factors decide whether people obey and conform, as demonstrated by Milgram and Asch. Changing the situation changes whether they'll go along with a bad system.

  • Systems are also made of rules, and bad rules can turn good people into bad people. That's kind of the point of critical race theory

    We should have empathy for the victims of child sexual abuse and if you don't want to have empathy for a certain person, don't call him a rape victim
