I imagine this Free Talk as a large room with a few tables and some 10 people sitting all over the place, awkwardly glaring at each other.

Reply to Day of the trope: White nationalist memes thrive on Reddit's r/The_Donald by TotesNotABoOoOoOaT
Sort of amazing how much these people want us dead.
Don't even bother entering a debate with these trolls, it's better to simply ignore them, not ban them (as long they don't say racist, homophobic, transphobic, etc. shit), simply ignore and shun them until they feel socially ostracised enough to let their cause go.
Don't bother attacking them either, it's first of all not very humanistic, but second of all, it deserves the anarchist cause by making us look as the aggressors, just pacifically protest these people, act like mature adults and at least we won't be persecuted instead of them.
This video from Jello Biafra sums it up pretty well. https://youtu.be/At2HudGWuRY

Reply to comment by ETERNAL_PRISONER in How To Piss Off Every Country by bel793
I mean, it was clearly made without much thought and thus has varying levels of offense, when you compare putting 9/11 on the US to putting the EU flag on Britain at least. I should probably have thought this through before reposting it here cause some of those run so deep it really does makes me look like an asshole.

It's a bit offensive to say the least~
Beef in India, Polish participitation in the Holocaust, Isis in Sweden, Leopold in the Congo, 9/11 in the US, etc.

Such a shame Satoshi died, he's genuinely one of the best directors to ever have lived.

God, I love Miyazaki.
Have you ever seen any of Mamoru Hosoda's movies? If no you should definitely watch Wolf Children or The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. Personally, I prefer Wolf Children, it does not have anything particularly exceptional about it except the way it tells the story of a mother and her children, it just leaves with a mountain of emotions once you reach its end.

Thanks for that, I already knew about most of it for a long time. I've seen how the movement around Hitchens, Hirsi Ali, Dawkins, etc. has morphed over the years, but overall I still appreciate many of the ideas expressed and integrate the best in the context of my own atheism.

No, I have my criticisms of Hitchens, mostly on going away from Marxism. I read or listen what he has to say and keep what I find best.
But thanks anyway.

I'll just post what I want to post, I've got my criticisms of the books, I've got my appreciations of the book.
Just give me a book to counter this one and I'll be delighted.

That's not what I've been saying, but sorry I don't want to put bad blood between us, I can understand that it's not a choice in some places.
Just for the overwhelming majority of people, it's simply hard psychologically to not consume any animal products and not financially.
Bonne journée~

This is basically true for everywhere in the Western World, and people in poor countries like India have been living on such a diet for hundreds of years.
In fact, most vegetarians and vegans inspire themselves from them for their diet.
I do live with someone but no children.

She's pointing out that our behaviour towards animals is "unhuman" and has an absolute lack of empathy.
While most people are actually sympathetic towards animals they do ignore the mistreatement that took place when they are profiting from their suffering.
I don't want to judge people for that, we're all flawed, but it's nice if you try to atleast reduce meat, milk and egg consumption or don't go to circuses or zoos.

Reply to does anybody know any good video introductions to anarchism that are accessible and easy for a liberal to grasp? by Pop
You might want to see if there is a video by Noam Chomsky that fits that.
EDIT: Maybe this one https://youtu.be/oB9rp_SAp2U I will add another edit once I am done watching it.
EDIT 2: It's maybe a bit too unstructructured, but in its content, it is pretty good.
