@freethinker3161 I really enjoy stefbot. Another good instructional one is csmirror. His main channel is fringeelements. Those are the two big ones I can think of where they talk about anarchism very frequently.

1) I used to consider myself a Democrat and was liberal to the point of almost being some version of a communist. I am now a Libertarian.

2) I was ignorant about the harsh realities of the food industry and was an avid meat and dairy consumer. I am now a vegetarian (mostly vegan).

3) I used to believe in God. I am now an Atheist.

4) I used to believe that a union between a man and a woman was the norm and the "right way." I have since joined the fight for equality with fellow LGBTAers.

Cool video!

I kinda went the same way. I was a Conservative for most of my life. A classical liberal at heart so when I learned about the Ron Paul movement it was fairly easy to switch to libertarianism.. seeing how I thought that's what conservationism was all about.

Then one day I came across a confederalsocialist video. I had always believed in limiting government but had never been exposed to the idea of no state at all... I was an anarchist in days. :)

no if an animal died of natural causes, I seriously doubt it would be safe to eat. Most animals that die of old age would be tough to eat, if it died of disease it would be unsafe to eat, if it died as prey...it would be eaten by something else.

@JacobSpinney The answer to that question is of course because they are delicious.

What do you think of the proposition often heard from libertarians that eating its meat saves a species from extinction? There is no shortage of the typical farm animals because we eat their meat and use their produce. The buffalo was saved because they started farming them after they got almost extinct.

This made me a fervent meat eater. I suspect that in the future most of our meat will be syntetic though

Ya, I used to be a Liberal who thought all Republicans were evil and all Democrats were Good until in the Fall of '07 While I was watching a Hilary Clinton video and there's were many comments that said Ron Paul 08 and I googled him and watched a video that promoted him and what really shocked me was that he was Anti-war and a Republican and thought ALL Republicans were war mongers and later I started looking up some of his policies and I found them to make sense Then I became a Libertarian.

@asalade It is not the death itself that I find revolting. We all die. I'm sure animals in nature can suffer far more than they do in factory farms. It's that human beings are responsible for that death. It's simple. Why kill or torture something when you don't need to?

[asalade]

Your switch towards vegitarianism was irrational. What if an animal dies of natural causes, would you still not eat its meat because of the "unethical" slaughter of other animals?

Yeah I have. Used to be marxist, now am Marketeer.
