Im curious if you spend this much time and effort on positive education (e.g. vegan food banks) or if you prefer instigating arguments in unrelated discussions
How do you get your energy? Did you build your own wind turbines, or is part of it using fossil fuels?
Which ISP are you using? Are they morally acceptable?
Do you grow your own food, make your own tools, make your own clothes, and build your own home?
I would love to hear about the device youre using, and how 0 of its resources harmed humans and any other life (be it extraction, manufacturing, etc). This includes all software as well.
Is the country you reside in completely faultless, or do you inherently support them with taxes?
I may commend you, Walden.
Im questioning the hostility you bring, as it generally makes people more defensive. You never responded to my question about local vegan efforts (supplying food, distributing, educating, funding, etc), so I’ll assume all of your efforts are virtual (where I can guarantee at least one immoral act was performed to enable your “platform”)
I actually am curious of your journey to net 0 harm, but I have a feeling you havent gotten there. So keep on virtue signaling, I guess?
I dont expect the impossible from people or to live in caves, but eating someones flesh is a choice, vegan food is cheaper and healthier and all the reasons people give to eat flesh is self serving bullshit “its my tradition/culture” “I like the taste” “Its MY habits” ok what about the victims life what about their choices, what excuse would you accept if it were you in the killbox
Not discounting your point, it’s valid. It is cheaper, healthier, and 99+% of excuses are BS (barring excessive compounding of food allergies). Buuuuut it feels hypocritical if you support companies that leverage child/prison/slave labor because “it’s impossible not to”; Aren’t a bunch of Amish communities (almost) self sufficient? If not, I’m confident they at least support fewer morally grey companies than us. So why do you get to decide where the line is drawn?
I respect your passion, and agree with your mission. Just feels like youre going about it aggressively.
Probably a poor analogy, but would you rather join a religion that teaches “Hey, we should respect each other, and here’s how”, or “If you dont, eternal punishment. Shame during your lifetime. Eternal woe”
Fundamentally, it could be the same religion with different evangelists. You feel like the latter.
Thats the thing though if you are eating someones flesh you are fundamentally not being respectful, respect is earned and you stubbornly defending the decision to eat an innocent creatures flesh makes me see you as a violent person who doesn’t deserve my respect
Please show me where I “stubbornly defend” eating meat. I literally agree with the message and disagree with your delivery.
I didnt say eating meat was OK, I called you a hypocrite for supporting other facets of reality that perturb conscious life, because it’s “impossible” to avoid (see: communities that get a hell of a lot closer than you).
You used literally the same argument you despise from meat eaters.
Hilarious how someone who disagrees with your presentation format is immediately regarded as violent, maybe the religious reference was more apt than I expected, you zealot.

Its a gore image its not unrelated. Posting this and saying its tasty is celebrating the death of the non-human animal whos flesh was stolen.
Please inform me:
