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)
Damn, you need to get some meat pie.
Too much soy clogging up the brain.
I would gladly go to a local slaughterhouse but alas all I have is factory meat around me.
You like to pretend that you care about what the animal feels, but you clearly just want to feel good about yourself by feeling superior to others. Why otherwise would you be this rude and obnoxious for no good reason? Do you think this behavior is likely to make people think "hmm, maybe he's right and I should just eat beans and shut the fuck up"? Of course not, you're just looking to feel superior. You have no actual interest in convincing others about the feeling of animals facing death.
The OP is not wrong, the capitalist system of exploitation is the root of the issue, and you're the obvious example of a misguided vegan.
I don't think they're misguided, I just think that even if we solved the capitalist exploitation driving the meat industry they would still care about animal suffering on a micro scale. I also feel like you're making a lot of assumptions about them based on that singular focus. Your view of the issue as a whole is just as myopic as his.
I am superior, all vegans are. Nope there's no reason to convince - you people belong in the ground not them :-).
