  if you don’t have time then why bother debating?

  I’m here cause i’m mildly drunk and cause i wanna entertain myself and people of lemmy with a philosophical blabber. No hurt feelings.

  @Teppichbrand@feddit.org This is why I don’t bother debating with carnists. To them the pain and suffering they cause is just a mildly interesting talking point that they use for their ghoulish entertainment. They will demand an original write up to the same tired talking points you and I have seen a dozen times and will not genuinely engage with anything you link

  Anywho, the article you provided… It seems like a dramatic personal story

  It isn’t if you read past the introductory paragraph and actually watched the media like I asked.

  I was raised in a village, where we had our own livestock, and i’ve seen my share of cruelty.

  So you agree that it’s cruel? What the fuck was your point about “we can’t really know if we’re actually harming them”

  Being kind and generous, as opposed to being cruel, is a vanity.

  no, it’s a virtue. I dont know what you think a vanity is, but being kind and generous are virtues.

  So if you think that veganism is highly moral, you’d better tell me the plan to make everybody vegan, so everyone would have a sound sleep at night.

  At this point I’m fully in support of “ask once, shoot twice (if you can get away with it)”. Glory to the armed animal resistance.

  The article makes for a dramatic story, but otherwise offers no solution to the conundrum,

  You didn’t read it. You so clearly didn’t read it

  What to do? In 2012, researcher Kathyn Gillespie visited a livestock auction for her paper Witnessing Animal Others: Bearing Witness, Grief and the Political Function of Emotion. The experience showed an erasure so complete that, even with the suffering bang in front of them, the crowd saw nothing amiss. “The audience was filled with buyers and spectators talking cheerfully about the animals, prices, their farms and families,” writes Gillespie. “For humans who farm and are in the animal product industry, the auction is a jovial place where they can come together for some lighthearted banter and a meal in the auction canteen. The auction is not scripted as a place of human or animal grief. Animals’ lives and bodies in this space are thoroughly commodified, their suffering illegible to the accustomed observer, the violence against them made mundane through its regularity.“ (3)

  Emphasis mine

  not to mention that it barely relates to the topic, that , might i remind you, being “is veganism a virtue” smuglord smuglord smuglord

  Another problem is that farm animals don’t talk much about their feelings, ro we can’t really know if we’re actually harming them, thus we can’t say whether we’re helping them by stopping the process

  You fucking brought it up!! Jesus christ carnists are some of the most navel-gazing smuggest pieces of reddit-brained shits out there.

  tangible

  in that case money itself is tangible and can be valued against itself. You are confusing exchange value and use value. Money has an exchange value, so does gold, oil or any other commodity. But unlike money they also have a use value.

  No issue, here is a good intro to Marxism if you want it www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/…/index.htm

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political discourse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Firstly this concept only applies to means of production, as in the stuff that is used to produce stuff which could be sold. So e. g. a sewing machine.

  Without getting into the weeds:

  a. Personal: You own and operate the sewing machine, you pay for the resources consumed and own the item produced. (Good)

  b. Private: You own the sewing machine but someone else operates it. You pay the resources consumed, the laborer a previously agreed upon amount and own the item they produced. (bad)

  c. Public: the public owns the sewing machine and pays for the resources consumed. The laborer is paid the value of their work. That is, the value of the item produced minus the value of the resources consumed. (Very good)

  How “the public” and “the value” are determined is the source of leftist infighting (anarchists vs marxist-leninist). But since both agree that private ownership needs to be abolished the call is for leftist unity to stand together against the people that currently own the means of production privately (the bourgeoisie) and exploit those that have to sell their laborforce in order to survive (the proletariat).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where has the tax money "saved" in uk austerity gone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Military contractors mostly. “More aid to Ukraine” is usually code for “we’re giving money to the US MIC”. Also the money isn’t “saved” in that it now exists somewhere and therefore has to have gone someplace to exist there, the government simply doesn’t borrow as much for those services anymore. Probably borrows a lot more for other stuff though so in the end it doesn’t even balance out.

  You’re extremist that are driving politics to the fringes based on in/out group think.

  Can you elaborate on this, what in/out group think? Those that commit war crimes and those that dont?

  You’re highly exploitable and manipulated by people in power

  Which people in power recommend reading Marx, Lenin, Fanon, Feinberg or any of those people??
