Why is this particular political structure and electoral process and set of parties the best? Can't we be more creative? We can do so much more than vote in this same process which makes us choose the 'lesser evil' to save democracy, every election for decades now. I can't bring myself to legitimize the US and still feel a clean conscience any longer.

Yes it is pure scare mongering, that is how most media makes money. You are more likely to be murdered by your parents than an immigrant. What do you mean by "what's going on?" I enjoy freedom and good quality of life, which is why I think borders shouldn't exist.

I have seen that said, but I haven't seen it to be true

You know you can go reread your comment if you are confused.

Okay let me be more accurate, sorry. You said you dislike people that call themselves antifascist more than people who murder Jewish people and queers.

People against Nazis are worse than Nazis, is literally what you are saying.

Could YOU care to explain? Do you have some issue with antifascism?

What do they say? Because I am a lifelong antifascist and communist and we love Jewish people but shun Zionism, maybe you have conflated the two.

I'd allow it, as long as they let Americans serving with anti-Zionist resistance groups get the benefits too.

No one here is saying you can't, are you trying to get permission? This is just pointing out it has a larger environmental impact than non-meat food sources.

Data about greenhouse emissions from transportation is talked about more frequently than any other source in my experience. I don't see the relevance to this data as beef and tofu can be produced locally or shipped overseas, so the emissions to produce the product would be a separate discussion versus emissions in transit.

Definitely, maybe the general cultural shift towards more sustainable practices will help eventually, but when I say 'dedicated action' I don't mean taking shorter showers.
