Agnostic atheist.

The amount of times I have talked with vegans who own and advocate for pet ownership…

I think the number is a lot higher and the barrier of trust a lot lower than people think.

If you come across a vehicle accident and you are able to help someone generally people don’t even think and just take action to save another persons life.

I’ve already blocked Lemmy world and I’m OOTL what happened now?

Do you really need to read volumes of theory to grasp what is fundamentally a rather straightforward concept?

Leftism shouldn’t be locked behind intellectual elitism.

Hypothetically, if Hitler saved a child from being hit by a car would you publicly sing Hitlers praises and be happy to make positive quotes about it?

Does being on the right side of a single issue negate everything else?
