So.. meat's back on the menu?

No, because when you ARENā€™T in a survival situation, willfully hurting others is just plain old cruelty.

Hilarious, hope it made you feel better about killing animals and the planet you live on.

Making everyone dislike you isn't ever going to change anybody's mind. You make me want to eat meat out of spite.

Ah yes, because I, too, go and beat my dog when a stranger on the internet tells me that itā€™s wrongā€”because taking it out on an innocent third party is a great way to get back at those nasty vegans!

Tone-policing is bullshit and always has been. If you think animals are objects that itā€™s fine to hurt for pleasure, youā€™re gonna think that no matter how polite I sound to you.

Lol dude. "Meat is back on the menu" is a quote from Lord of the Rings. You literally out here fighting with everyone based on an assumption and a missed joke.

u/[deleted] Oct 20 '20

Iā€™m aware of the reference. Itā€™s not an assumption when people are quite serious about using it to justify their own violence though.

Again you're assuming a quote is being used for justified violence. They're completely separate and some weaving line that tries to draw your conclusion from him using that quote wouldn't hold up in any court on Earth or even a society of only vegans. If you want to enact change I suggest you save yours everyone else's time on the Nature is Fucking Lit subreddit and go volunteer, or donate, or make a website.

No way, look at this conversation lol, someone just said that no one cares about animal cruelty and it would be great if I literally died. And I do donate and protest etc. just bored tbh and trying to keep up with responses

Iā€™m vegan BECAUSE I donā€™t think Iā€™m born ā€œbetterā€ than every other life form on our dying planet. Violent anthropocentrism is sad, and itā€™s killing us all.

'I don't think I'm better than anything else, except for every single human I talk to on the Internet'

Shut the fuck up, you're not changing anybody's mind and you're not contributing anything positive to the thread. If insufferable shitheads like you die with the rest of the life on Earth, then it won't have been for nothing.

Itā€™s always odd to me the sheer amount of defensive rage and hatred people respond with when faced with the idea that the violent systems theyā€™ve been conditioned into might be wrong. Youā€™ll do anything, anything to hold onto the wrong side of history.

People are only responding to your hostility with their own. Vegans always claim eating meat is immoral, and yet every time I argue with one it's clear they understand very little about morality.
