    I think it’s kinda cruel to the cows but

    I get so tired of the “yes, this appears to be a historical atrocity people have deliberately ignored, but mentioning it now is rude” framing.

    Slapping “we ruined her ability to interface normally with the bureaucracy as a punishment” on top is some reactionary bullshit I’d like to think the anti-Trump crowd would be above.

    But nope… fascism is just a reflex for people.

      I feel like you may be conflating my understanding of her non-acceptance into the community with being ok with animal cruelty.

      I’m not and I don’t think the cows should wear the bells.

      I just think that as an outsider challenging deeply held cultural beliefs she shouldn’t have expected to be welcomed as a citizen of that community.

      It was an extremely unrealistic expectation to have.

        Of course not. Keep people of different beliefs legally segregated and treat anyone in foreign soil as a second class human.

        Otherwise, you might be annoyed from time to time.

          You should consider how your extremely polarized views can blind you to relatively obvious truths.

          I can’t lay it out more simply than I have, if you still can’t see what I’m saying then the most respectful way possible: please go touch grass you’ve clearly had too much internet.
