Comment on Don't forget where we came from and what shaped us as a species. The Jungle.

Youre entitled to your opinion, but the argument in itself is not a valid one. Not caring about what other people do has is called anarchy. How would you rate the same argument with other context?
“Lets care less about who others kill?” (that ones actually pretty similar now that im writing it^^)
“Lets care less about who others spit on?”
“Lets care less about when your neighbors blast their music at 130dB”

Imagine those in a context where there were no laws regulating those actions yet. Someone had to step up and start demanding we regulate behavior and establish rules for generally accepted behavior. Those rules are constantly changing and they should. We need to adjust to new information as we go on. Making animals suffer for our convenience is something many people consider immoral and sometimes people point out when other do immoral things.

Are you people capable of arguing without using false equivalencies?

I made my point that people shouldn’t tell others what to do with their diets, and you’re here to be a perfect example of my point.

Thanks?

But like I told the other person doing the same thing, I don’t argue with people who bring false equivalence to a conversation to derail the meaning of my own point.

Enjoy your evening.

    “Lets care less about who others kill?”
    
    What, not who. And someone choosing to eat meat has nothing for do with whether or not you care. It’s about whether or not you have the right to tell them they shouldn’t when they DIDN’T ASK YOU.
    
    This is a false equivalence because you’re equating something that is not equal to the argument presented.
    
    “Lets care less about who others spit on?” No one is talking about spitting on anyone, or being spit on by anyone.
    
    This is a false equivalence because animals aren’t spit. Nor being spit on, not spitting on anyone. In addition to it being false equivalence- it’s downright nonsense.
    
    “Lets care less about when your neighbors blast their music at 130dB”
    
    No one is talking about music. Animals aren’t music. Animals an aren’t playing music. No one is playing music. My neigh it’s have nothing g to do wit this.
    
    This is false equivalence because it has nothing to do with the topic.
    
    And if none of these are false equivalencies. Then they’re ALL straw men. And that’s by definition- arguing in bad faith. Which is apparently, the only way to can discuss the topic.
    
    Blocking you now as I have wasted enough of my time, but trust me when I say this- I am now no longer neutral on the topic. I will no longer waste my time defending veganism in any conversation that illustrates them in a negative light as you all have proven you don’t deserve the time wasted in doing so.
