Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL
Eh, sometimes it makes sense to just call things as they are instead of trying to tiptoe around peoples feelings.
If you don’t think artificial insemination is a form of rape/sexual violation, then idk what kind of meaningful discussion we can have. If you don’t think unnecessary killing is murder, then again idk what kind of meaningful discussion we can have. (Note that there’s not really any good reason for the term “murder” to only apply to humans. If someone kills your dog would you be opposed to the use of the word “murder” then?)
Do you refer to animals predating other animals as murder too?
Do those other animals have the biology that allows them to subsist on other foods and the higher thinking required to question the morality of their actions?
Arguably, yes to both of those things.
Vegan cat food exists for example and animals have exhibited morals.
Cool you should just block me, we won’t get along and I won’t be able to respond, since I’m blocking you right after this.
Your parameters for conversation aren’t conducive for polite conversation.
Feel free to say whatever you like back, I won’t see it and maybe you can feel better pretending like you won.
Have the life you deserve.
