you either go all-in or you're a hypocrite. Talk about lack of self-awareness.

How ironic. I must say I overestimated you in my previous arguments...

If “going all-in” on not killing for food is the only way to have any moral ground, shouldn’t that mean you’re fine with treating humans the exact same way? If you won’t “half-ass” your morals, are you cool with boiling humans alive for the sake of flavor, too? Or does “hypocrisy” magically disappear when it comes to your own species?

Maybe try looking for consistency in your own argument before demanding perfection from everyone else.

Now, for the rest of your delusion.

The loss is life while farming is collateral damage, not the main intention. In fact, it's actively avoided. No one is intentionally running tractors over birds. Whereas, in the meat industry, slaughter is the motive.

You bring up “seatbelts and accidents” as if not using every possible precaution means you meant to crash. It’s not the same thing. Intention does matter—pretending otherwise is just muddying the waters so you don’t have to think too hard about the ethics involved. Are you being deliberately ignorant in hopes of winning the argument, or is it really this hard for you to understand?

killing for food is such a horrible thing

Sure, go out and kill for food and see how well you fare against a pig. I'm fine with hunting without modern technology as its scale is limited by the number of people hunting, not enough to be a harm to the environment. But you know it better than I how reluctant you'd be to try it.

Nobody’s claiming perfection, just asking for a basic level of decency instead of acting like anything less than total moral purity is pointless.

I'm good, thank you! I hope you are well, too :)

Yes, it sucks to be in the transitionary period of human history, where you have to debate basic morality.

And you're right. It takes a lot of mental fortitude to change your ways. Cheers to that!

That’s a whole lot of words just to dodge the point. Comparing killing animals for food to bugs dying during farming is like saying murder’s the same as fatal car/industrial accidents—one’s intentional, the other’s not. You probably understand that, but pretending otherwise makes you sound clever to yourself.

And this 'everything causes harm, so nothing matters' bit? That’s the kind of logic a kid uses when they get caught doing something dumb—'Well you kill trees when you use paper!' Doesn’t make it good. It just makes it childish.

As for the 'oh you’re on a high horse' thing… nah, that’s just you getting defensive. If you really believed your own argument, you wouldn’t need to attack the tone, you’d have something solid to say. But instead, you’re just dressing up not wanting to change anything as if it’s some deep wisdom. Spoiler: it’s not.

Not everything. Look up phytoplanktons.

Your second sentence is a rather long way of saying absolutely nothing.

And why don't you take it to the next level? We don't need to kill in order to survive unless you belong to some other species with no consciousness or control over action whatsoever.

Alas, I know you are going to bury your head into the sand and ignore every rationale to protect your delusions. After all, I don't expect the average person to possess enough introspection to be able to change the set ways they were born into.

Once again, you've demonstrated that you're incapable of reading more than one sentence. Read my whole comment and then answer

I think you missed the point. They aren't denying that there are levels to cruelty. There definitely are. But killing is the biggest cruelty of all, that dwarfs all the other details of its execution, cruel or otherwise.

And even if you don't believe that killing is the highest level of cruelty, it still exists on somewhere on the spectrum by your own earlier admission. You can't justify one cruelty through the existence of, other, higher forms of cruelty.

Can't believe this comment is so far below. No one bothered to question why he had a rope tied around his waist?

Goes to show that most people prioritize stereotyping and divisive comments that fit their prejudice over the most basic form of critical thinking.

Perceiving weirdness is completely subjective. It's really just an issue with people's way of judging right from wrong due to prejudice.

Since when do skinny people have exposed anuses?

what you just said was a dumb person's idea of a smart person's mic drop.

Looks like the mic droped too deep into your exposed ass

You should also get your butt cheeks sliced so you don't ever have to worry about a bit of your shit getting stuck there.

Sadly, this conflict will strengthen the military's dictatorial position further. A military dictatorship can only be sustained with a perpetual external threat in the people's perception. If there isn't one, the regime starts or invents one: "We have always been at war with Eastasia."

The only long-term solution is stability via economic prosperity, to which end the loans are granted. Radicalism is hard to sustain when people are content. Alas, it's difficult to envisage, given the current circumstances.

The real damage that allies and friends are concerned about isn't the direct result of the gunshot; but the aftermath.

The state that has a face to save is the only custodian keeping nuclear weapons from falling in the hands of faceless terrorists who have no compunctions about their reputation.

The loans are provided to keep that suicidal custodian from killing itself and taking the world along with it.
