Giving up before trying is the best way to help the enemy

I dont buy into this idea that we are somehow above it all.

You do in fact buy into that idea and I can show you with a single example: Do you consider consent important for procreation?

Also, Omnivore tells you what you can eat, not what you have to.

Thats a terrible analogy and you know it. Arguing in bad faith aint gonna get you anywhere.

What makes other animals comparable to humans? If you had to choose between a human and a pet dying, which would it be? Could you go up to a holocaust survivor and with a straight face tell them that their suffering is equally bad to a domesticated cow?

It's not an analogy, it's an example that shows you being "above it all". Just saying "nature tho" is pretty lazy and I think you know that.

Yeah I figured that you couldn't answer my question. Maybe think on that.

Do you consider consent important for procreation?

I mean, you really should also consider consent when you're doing it just for fun.

But in this case it doesn't matter since you can't get pigs pregnant anyway.

Could you go up to a holocaust survivor and with a straight face tell them that their suffering is equally bad to a domesticated cow?

1. severity is not the only axis of comparison

2. yes, I think he would be fine with that

It is much easier to accept the situation than to suffer and try to change it. This is how we live even now...

I'm not the one calling for indiscriminate violence. Sheer stupidity playing directly into Trump's hands.

I grew up playing baseball. I'd rather go down swinging.

I used to think that a good death would be in my sleep, in my old age. Now I think of that as a waste. I've come to the conclusion that my end will have a twist ending, and I intend to make the best of it.

If keyboard warriors aren't effective, then why are they among the first people that dictators go after?

If keyboard warriors aren't effective, why do MAGAs put so much effort into the Conservative Propaganda Machine?

Who's calling for indiscriminate violence? I'm all for carefully targeted violence. Let's make it count.

Or a cyclist, obviously.

I choose to stay alive over giving my life to my neighbour, not because they are an inherently lesser being, but because I value my own life over another.

Not eating a burger will literally kill me

You rn.

No one is coming to save you, my friends. Strength, as always, lies in community building.

It's more of a critique of the "just do something" culture. Killing one farmer will just result in that farmer getting replaced with an identical cog in the machine, it also won't magically inspire all the sheep to kill their oppressors as seen historically with humans - that kind of thing is only found within books.

Pretty much the only kind of effective action if the goal is to change things rather than merely feel good in the moment is organization, but it is a slow, tedious and dangerous process - it's not something that can be achieved immediately or individually.

The military can send missiles to any point on the globe with an accuracy of centimeters without losing a man. The time for a resistance was decades ago.

We overslept.
