      You said vegan. That explains the downvotes… And you said it as the first point even. Next time leave it for last!

        At the time of writing, the comment only has 32% downvotes.

        Lemmy is a lot more vegan friendly than most places on the internet.

      What do you mean with

      walking around other earthlings on footpaths etc instead of through

      Is an earthling a human, an animal, a plant or subsets of those three? And what is walking through an earthling?

      I’m geniuenly curious, I have no idea what you mean.

        Earthlings are all of us, all sentient beings. We are from earth, we are the earthlings.

        Like not just plowing through birds foraging, or lizards sunbaking, or ants doing a nuptial flight or whatever.

        Considering others’ right to use space equal to their own.

          That makes much more sense, my first intuition was passing people on the sidewalk which… doesn’t seem like a red flag.

        Of course, authority is a pretty fucked up concept as implemented in our society. It’s almost always nothing more than the threat of violence for not subsuming your own needs to the needs of another. The other usually claiming that privilege through nonsense like birthright, wealth, closeness to power structures or similar.

        Anyone who uses such a ridiculous thing is at best a fool. Calling out injustice and laughing at awful people is definitely a green flag.

        Consider say the difference between interacting with a cop and a firefighter. The cop claims authority, do what they say or be tortured into compliance. The firefighter has no authority and yet I’ll bet you trust everything they say a lot more than the cop and are far more willing to cooperate.
