I know you don’t really mean it, but I’m going to use your bad faith arguments to point out some things you should know but have probably never thought about.
Let’s accept that you are a fully committed plant’s rights activist. You considered killing yourself out of respect for your plant brother’s experiences, but ultimately you decide that no creature should be obliged to kill itself simply because of its own inherent nature. You cannot help that you need to eat. So what do you do?
You decide that while you have to eat to survive, that doesn’t mean that you can just eat wantonly, whatever and however the urge strikes you, because there are these serious consequences to your plant friends. You look for the way of life that minimizes the number of plants that you have to kill. Easy, you think, you’ll just eat animals!
Until you realize, those animals eat plants. Those animals ate WAY more plants than you would have if you hadn’t eaten any animals. Oh. Shit. The more animals you eat, the more of your plant sisters you are killing. You realize that your ethical convictions demand that you instead eat only plants, and only as many as you need to survive. Because that is the only solution to this ethical quandary.
But of course, in real life, you are not actually concerned with plant’s rights. It was just a ruse you were pulling. You did not go down this train of thought to its logical conclusion. These are not issues that you have spent years and years thinking about. Rather, like most people, you have been trained to not think about them. You’re not engaging with intellectual honesty, you have begun to attempt to frustrate meaningful discussion. I’m giving you a lot of grace here because I don’t think you realize you did it, and I’d like to give you a chance to see it.

Okay, I can see you have become defensive. It’s understandable. When I finally accepted the vast cruelty and violence I was a part of, it fucking broke me. That is what you are trying to avoid. That is what I tried to avoid for a very long time. Eventually I accepted that I could not be a kind, decent, good person, and continue to use cruelty and violence to exploit unwilling individuals.
I’m going to let you take back your bad faith arguments.
- Comment on Aside from possible allergy concerns, what's stopping people from grinding all the food waste into a mixed paste? 1 week ago:
Just for clarity, I don’t accept that it is okay to keep animals as pets. But that isn’t relevant to the current discussion so I didn’t get into that.

Those chickens didn’t just happen. Their very existence is abuse. Creating an individual with the preformed intent that you prevent it from becoming able to care for itself, that it will be dependent on you for everything for it’s entire life, that is one of the most abusive things you can do to another individual. Fine, rescue your cats or whatever, but that’s not what you’re talking about right now. You’re talking about a captive individual who exists to convert calories for you, like a machine. They wouldn’t lay eggs anyway; they wouldn’t EXIST. Not as an individual, but also not as a genetic line that is cursed to lay far more eggs than its own interests have any reason for it to lay. It lays so many eggs that its body becomes depleted. It is not natural for chickens to lay eggs so often! That is something that we did to them. And it’s yet more abuse!
The abuse in inescapable when you use an individual’s body for your own purposes.
And again, we are talking about fucking eggs. There is no food shortage. So there is no justification for even a little bit of cruelty and violence. Plus, eggs are not good for you in the first place!!

Individuals must be treated as ends, never as means.
- Comment on Aside from possible allergy concerns, what's stopping people from grinding all the food waste into a mixed paste? 2 weeks ago:
That’s cruel and requires violence. There are situations that justify cruelty and violence, but given that there is no food scarcity, it is not justified now.

We can easily grow more plants than humanity can collectively eat, and still have plants left over for global industries. There is just no need to be that frugal with food.

For some people, it’s a legitimate angle on coping with mortality and disease. I agree that it sounds especially ghastly and self-serving coming from the mouth of this organization.

You’re comparing murdering foreign babies in their beds with serving a side of fries. Why are you working so fucking hard to excuse atrocity. Fuck off, dude.

much like abusing animals doesn’t “get it out of your system”

Also, I don’t remember asking for armchair psychologists to come here and start dropping unasked thoughts about how to best relieve stress. Check those at the door.

If it smells like decomposing calcium, you have tooth decay and should see a dentist. Most sneezes don’t smell.
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 1 month ago:
Nobody is creating snapshots, the past is lost, but in a sense it is still entirely, umm, present (forgive the pun). It is apparently not true that there is more than one past that could have evolved into the present. This has bothered me a lot and I don’t entirely understand in this moment why that is, but I’ve looked into it several times and every time eventually assured myself that it was so. Though I haven’t accounted for the idea that spaces that were once causally bound to each other can possibly become causally unbound… oh well, down the rabbit hole again.
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 1 month ago:
cool, no, what’s the concept
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 1 month ago:
and a mathematical inevitability that eventually we will destroy our own past that gives rise to time travel
- Comment on Nope, not visiting that 1 month ago:
the reason we don’t have time travelers is that the past is no more concrete than the future. [Current science disagrees with the idea that] just like there are infinite potential futures, there are an infinity of potential pasts that could have evolved into the present [instead insisting that the entire past is fully embedded in the present]. [It’s not supported by any current theories that] the probability of reaching a particular past is essentially zero.
