Vegetarianism is a diet. If you believe non human animals don’t deserve to be exploited you are a vegan.

Have you watched any footage of how cows and pigs are killed? I used to hold your opinion but seeing them struggle for their life against all odds lit a flame in me.

That’s not incompatible with my statement

I agree with you. I value a human over a chicken. I just value a chicken more than the slight difference between a chicken burger and a vegan burger.

No but if you feel angry at this animal cruelty you can use that to fuel your change away from the cruelty you inflict on animals yourself

Farmers (and by extension the people who pay them) are exploiting animals.

I don’t think I used the term brainwashed in my comments so not sure why you’re attacking me for that, but if you are really continuing to harm animals only because someone used a word you don’t like that’s cause for some introspection.

JE’s partner in crime Maxwell is theorized to have taken over the family business of extorting people for Israeli intelligence from her father.

Haven’t read the actual report they are quoting but the arguments of energy, land and water use (the ones they quote) are probably the weakest arguments against AI I’ve heard.

I agree with basically everything you’re saying if I understand it correctly, other than “The option to not eat meat in terms of human history is basically brand new” which is easily disputed by Buddhism being over 2500 years old.

Ah the one humans make carry stuff instead of kill, safest bet.

Downplaying the ethical view that exploiting others is wrong and should be avoided as a “dietary preference” comes off as a little disingenuous.

Being human, the humane one, the one who sees themselves in others? There is nothing more human than being humane to animals and abstaining from exploiting them.

Which is compounded by 95% of researchers being meat eaters which is an inherent bias.

I don’t faint when I hear about human murder but wouldn’t want human corpses on my timeline either

Yes

This but with veganism lol

Maybe put a nsfw tag on the image of a corpse?

What do you mean?

There’s vegan frozen hamburger patties :)

Idk, that water is important to save is the argument OP made, I just added context.
