Alright. If I were to say something like “You’re a dumbass, and have no room to criticize.” that’d be a personal attack because I’d be making a (metaphorical) attack on your person (character). Hope that helps.

sure. I did not say anything like that. I just reminded the poster that they pay people to abuse and kill animals.
Is that really so personal?

What part of insulted their individual lifestyle seems like business to you?
davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 9 months ago
they said that they pay to have things killed on their behalf.
if they say it, then it ain’t very personal is it?

Individual lifestyle that forces animals through torture and murder. Nah do not misrepresent the situation.

Where is the border between acceptable and not acceptable lifestyle? The animals can’t consent. If you beat your wife, is that also an individual lifestyle we have to respect? What if you neglect and beat your pets, for a closer example? What if your individual lifestyle is dumping trash into the ocean?

Luckily we pass laws to regulate unacceptable lifestyles.
Go pass some laws. Instead of trying to be a vegan vigilante, try to organize and show compassion to people. Even if that means being belittled in the process, you’ll have the moral high ground.
