    paying someone to kill an animal so that you can consume its corpse is how you treat animals nicely, is it?

      OK, so if negative fucks were a thing, that would be how may fucks in general i give about the actual argument you are having.

      That being said, to me it seems hypocritical to be throwing shade about intentional animal cruelty unless you are somehow posting these replies without using any electronics whatsoever.

      Almost all electronics require materials sourced or processed off the back of rare earth minerals not even mentioning the supply chain and assembly.

      As you said, people are animals too, slavery and workplace mutilation are animal abuse.

      I’m not whattabouting your argument, both things are fucked up and one doesn’t cancel out the other and as i said, i’m not supporting either side.

      but the stunning lack of awareness (or acknowledgement) of the hypocrisy of your argument is offensive.

        You do it literally every time you purchase a meat product. Meat is made from the dead body of animals. When you buy it, you are retroactively paying for the slaughter of that animal.

          money is still bound by linear time. the animal is already dead, and the person who did it is already paid.

                You know that others will resupply if you buy this thing. If you didn’t knew until now that people resupply what you buy, now you know. Making you definitely are responsible from now on.

                Imagine I throw candy at the floor an this kid always picks it up. Then I throw candy at the train tracks and the kid gets ran over. Am I not responsible for the kids actions?

            Oh yeah, I’m sure the entire meat industry would continue to produce meat that nobody paid for just so they could let it all rot. If you want to eat meat, go ahead, but stop fucking lying to yourself about what you are responsible for. Every time you eat meat, a living creature suffered and died for it, and you gave someone money to facilitate that. That is the reality and you should accept it. Take responsibility for your choices instead of fleeing responsibility like a coward.

              I’m responsible for my actions. I’m not responsible for what others chose to do in the past

              this is a nonsequitur.

              what I said is true.
