Then in Communism, the wolf just bites off the sheep's neck, and after it dies and is consumed, the wolf plays victim because there's no more sheep to eat.

So, the republic is a fence around the sheep, whose propietary is supposed to be good by magic forces.

And the sheep goes to a sanctuary city where laws can be ignored.

You're a selective liberal, You only support the liberal ideologies that don't affect you personally.
Anything that doesn't gets your full support.

I don't think this logic applies to well to modern civilisation.
Your analogy supposes that their is a semblance of government in nature. If it was a realistic case, the wolves would take what they want, regardless of the sheep. Nature is based on survival, not government.
I support democracy, but it's not a completely direct democracy.
America is a representative democracy. People vote for whom they want represent their county, or constituency or whatever, for whom they want to represent them. Not all people agree. And it's not perfect. Direct democracy means that everything is funnelled to one power, and everyone gets one representative, which practically doesn't work. Especially when America is a big country, with states which govern differently from each other regarding law and tax.
And Republic falls on a pretty broad definition. The USSR was a republic, but it wasn't really democratic, especially with a one-party system. And look how that turned out.

What if the wolves are in the right? After all, the wolves are the ones who may die of starvation. And sheeps have ways to defend themselves. That’s exactly how the circle of life and the non-aggression principle work, which is funny, because most folks use the circle of life to justify eating farm animals, even though we’re not designed to eat bodies. But anyways, the flaws of both democracy and republic is that they’re both run by an authority… which we wouldn’t need by the very logic that authorities should enforce our morals, since if our morals are so correct, they shouldn’t need to be enforced by anyone besides armed citizens.

Lots of people think man is naturally good, and becomes better as time progresses. That's wrong though.

That’s most true about humans in power.

jesus christ even in a purely political meme you can find ways to preach your vegan bullshit.
Move to Somalia and see how far your non aggression principle gets you in anarchy. Also steak is delicious, sucks to be you.

Maybe either the Somalians are happier than the media want us to think, or there aren’t enough resources to make Somalia prosperous.

Have you ever heard of vegan meat? You can always make a delicious steak using Beyond Beef. Now, I have a rhetorical question for you:
Burger A and Burger B are both identical by taste, texture, cost, nutrition, and health. The only difference is that 10 humans are killed, 10 nonhuman animals are killed, and 100 animals suffer to make Burger A, while Burger B only kills 1 human and 1 nonhuman. Which burger would you eat, if you were forced to pick one?

The one that's a real burger.

I already told you that both hypothetical burgers are identical in every way besides the amount of suffering required for production.

The Beyond Burger is a real burger; It’s just not made from real flesh. Beyond meat has the same cost, same taste, and better health benefits. What else can you possibly be asking for? But besides that, I never said in my hypothetical question that either of the 2 burgers is a Beyond Burger.

Sorry can't hear you over how delicious that chicken I ate earlier was.

Also, you're even preachier and more insufferable than half the ultra-left TDS morons out there. You've got a mad case of flesh derangement syndrome, probably comes from your B12 deficiencies

“Sorry can't hear you over how delicious that chicken I ate earlier was.”

Then try this: https://www.gardein.com/

“Also, you're even preachier and more insufferable than half the ultra-left TDS morons out there.”

How am I being preachy?! Have you every considered the amount of suffering your choices cause upon both starving humans (from the land wasted on animal ag) and nonhumans? Have you ever considered being open-minded, for a change? The future is vegan whether you like it or not, so you might as well embrace it so that younger generations can see you on the right side of history.

“You've got a mad case of flesh derangement syndrome, probably comes from your B12 deficiencies.”

That’s an ad hominem fallacy. The idea that vegans need to supplement B12 is a myth. My level of B12 is perfectly fine. You never hear about anyone dying from B12 deficiency, and that’s because many plant foods already contain B12!

"The future is socialist whether you like it or not, you might as well embrace it so that younger generations can see you on the right side of history."

And you DO hear about people dying from B12 deficiency. And going blind. And having all sorts of other serious health issues.

Your quote about socialism being the future is a false analogy fallacy. Not only is it something that you don’t hear anyone saying as often, but unlike socialism, veganism is a civil rights movement, so it’s far more similar to the black rights movement. Every ethical argument used against veganism is always analogous in some form to an ethical argument used against black rights. And unlike capitalism, speciesism is an unsustainable practice that nature will eventually force us to quit.

Can you tell me any stories about B12 deficiency? Other than your false accusations about vegans getting B12 deficiency. And again, I have all of the B12 I need. There are plenty of plant foods that contain B12!
