  • Why’d you change the goalposts to protein sources? Nobody mentioned protein sources before just now. We were comparing with rice and ramen. Ramen might be a half decent protein source, but rice isn’t.

    If you mean to answer my question by saying that you only mentioned corpse because it’s rich in protein, then I understand why you only mentioned meat, but you’re a fool because you didn’t understand that we weren’t talking about protein. But if you changed the subject to protein in order to one-up the nasty vegan who uses direct language instead of euphemisms, then you’re having this conversation in bad faith.

    Oh, and beans, tofu, pumpkin seeds. Because if I don’t jump through this little hoop you’ve erected to try to “gotcha” me, I’m sure you’ll spend your entire comment talking about what a stupid vegan I am instead of engaging with the actual point. My point being that you are a meat addict who hears “food” and can’t think of anything other than a corpse, and that you use cheap deceptions to try and make the non-murderers look like the bad guys. Can you engage with the actual point this time instead of trying to change the subject away from your own actions?




  • You don’t need to eat rice and ramen (tho I do love me some…). Turkeys around Tgiving in the us are stupid cheap, pork butts smoke easily (you can even cheat and do them in a standard oven), and cheap beef makes great stew for less than $1/meal. Fish can be affordable too, if that’s your thing.

    How come all your cheap alternatives to rice and ramen are corpse? Are those the only options for frugal people, to have rice and ramen or to be a murderer?





  • Soulism has been the target of a lot of satire and people who don’t understand it pretending they do. Gravity is a law that nobody consented to, but it’s not high on the soulist agenda. Natural laws we’d rather dismantle include old age, infant mortality, capitalist realism, and what transphobes call “basic biology”. Note that the latter two are very clearly myths, but reactionaries claim they are natural laws. Soulists don’t believe in reality, so we don’t need to draw a semantic distinction between fake natural laws and real ones. We think reality itself is fake.




  • Think Marxism is scientifically flawed? Think anarchism lacks vision? Think infighting is too much? Then it sounds like you’d agree with soulists.

    Soulists follow a scientific paradigm that centers psychology and solves psychological problems of human nature in tandem with what Marx called material problems. We view capitalism and the state as social constructs, building upon intersectional feminist theory and addressing them as problems of propaganda and informational warfare.

    We don’t need to have a revolution to start doing praxis. Overthrowing Capital and the state is one of our big goals, but there’s tons we can do to build our society before then, and we’re already doing it. We know exactly what our end goal looks like, because we’ve already done it on a small scale. All we need is to amplify our warfare.

    While we have plenty of issues with reactionaries infiltrating the community, our position in these struggles is always to side with the marginalised. Queer, BIPOC, disabled, neurodiverse, etc. If someone has a different perspective than us but still stands with the oppressed, then we stand with them. That’s because we don’t believe in a single reality, so there’s plenty of room for differing views to coexist. It’s common for us to believe in all the gods, of every religion, just to be tolerant of everyone. Of course, we leave behind any exclusionary parts of all religions.

    Most of us generally agree with this manifesto explaining soulism: https://medium.com/@viridiangrail/a-soulist-manifesto-4d0456dcb75a
