Trump is rich and many Republicans (not all!) are bafflingly stupid.

dammit

My issue always has been that everyone is so concerned with the lives of these poor animals, but no one gives a shit about the people living in indentured servitude who make your fresh veggies available and low cost. I don’t care what the circumstance is, people trump animals every time.

Why does this article have such a trivializing headline? Do neglected kids who suffer third-degree burns really deserve such dismissive snark?

Of course, I understand clickbait headlines make the w$rld go around, but booboos? When they had to be life flighted to a burn center? I mean, come on. Disappointed line mouth, big time. :|

“Within 10 minutes, she says she was told her sons needed to be life-flighted to Shriner’s Hospital in Texas, which has children’s facility that specializes in burns.”

I am a very fair-skinned person who had a sunburn like this at 6. I was at a lake all day and the adults in charge failed to put any sunscreen on me. You can’t even imagine the pain. I blistered all over and then when those broke it was like alligator skin for weeks. These poor, poor boys. I’d be enraged over this.

THANK YOU for this. Base tans are bullshit. Don’t believe the lies, kids.

Why is your headline so snarky? Did you see the photos of their burns? They’re actually horrifying.

I’d say a rightfully freaked out parent! A burn that is so bad that it blisters can be very serious (said the pasty Irishman.)

Although it sounds like the result of some freaked-out parent being annoying, these sunburns are legitimately terrible.

You really don’t understand what’s fucked up about this analogy? Are you telling me that after understanding the history of humans in chains and treated as beasts of burden you don’t understand why it’s a shitty idea to liken actual animals to the plight of humans who by the way are still treated as animals (see…

She literally used the word equivalent.

I did.

I am pretty uncomfortable calling what Black Americans go through and what livestock go through “like oppressions.” I struggle with the ethics of meat eating myself (I still do it). It’s possible to be unhappy with the current state of animal farming and ALSO be incredibly offended by the comparison of people with…

First of all, I have already expanded on that. See my reply to idano. Second of all, who said I was talking about factory farming? NVC herself mentioned open-range farms.

She literally made the comparison. She literally said “This proposal is equivalent in many ways to “humane” slavery: the system justified by the lack of shackles, the families kept together, the spacious sleeping quarters. ”

You don’t find many black people making these analogies, though. And we, too, can be feminists, liberals and social-justice oriented.

She can’t even try to excuse herself by saying it was an analogy! She clearly stated it was equivalent to, which is way, way worse than “similar in concept to.”
