vegans have noble intentions but they are fighting the wrong battle: the root evil is not meat consumption per se but capitalism and the resource exploitation that it implies

[–] NightShot@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (13 children)

The root evil is your meat consumption. If theres nothing wrong, then go to your local slaughter house and stand in line. If you dont like to do that you know what they feel. The feel the same fucking way about it as you do. And they dont get any sedation as they get during an execution. They get the first row experience to fucked up death.

Fuck your dumb ideas and go eat some fucking beans and shut the fuck up.

Slaves mined the metals used to make the device you typed that on. You cannot get the moral high ground when your (and my) entire privileged world exists due to the exploitation of everyone that doesn't exist in it.

I wouldn't call being forced to eat beans as my sole source of protein an improvement on society.

that sounds like a you problem given the alternative is a system that needlessly kills millions of animals every day.

It's not needless because it literally puts food on my table. Tasty food with a high calorie density.

animal ag is far more inefficient in terms of calories, and if you think vegan food isn't tasty, expand your diet beyond chicken nuggets (or try vegan nuggets which are also tasty)
