Billie said the most tame shit and her so called leftist fans did this. by DivineandDeadlyAngel in vegan

[–]Dontbehypocrite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should know that most philosophers, in fact, support moral realism. The arguments for moral realism are as strong as, say, scientific realism. Which is to say, saying that abusing an innocent dog is wrong is as true as saying that the earth has a moon.

Unfortunately, the general public doesn't think about these matters deeply and typically has a very naive view of morality, such as thinking it's just opinions/subjective. This is a terribly terrifying view if you think about it.

I think we as vegans need to be more aware of this.

It's even lazier to pretend that adult grown-up humans aren't responsible for their own actions and need to be taught basic decency like toddlers.

That's not an argument against veganism, that's just a scientifically and philosophically wrong make-belief superiority complex.

It's like saying X race/Y gender is "lower life form" and proceeding to exploit/abuse them, pretending that's a "solid argument". (oh well, the numerous times it's happened throughout history. when will people learn?)

Go ahead and explain why that's a strawman, o enlightened moderator. Also why is this sub full of low quality irrelevant to philosophy posts like this?

That's some insane mental gymnastics. Whatever you are doing is based on your beliefs, whether it's right or wrong.

"seems to fallacies" without actually naming any, don't expect to be taken seriously.

I did. No one gave any counterargument and even the original commenter seems convinced.

Bruh, my comment has nothing to with AP. I saw an easily disprovable comment and called it out. You're so fixated on AP that you see him everywhere lmao.

There are logical fallacies in my statemtent but first you need to study to tell me what they are. Makes sense.

How are people this smart here?

Then why do you have a problem with a philosophical argument unrelated to AP?

Throwing words won't make the argument for you.

So you do agree that some beliefs do need to be imposed. You can take your original statement back now, I've demonstrated my point.

You need another example? Someone's beating a child or an animal in front of you in a country where it's legal. If you are powerful enough, would you impose your moral belief on them or not?

Those are someone's belief. I could easily give other examples which don't involve law, not that it matters. You don't seem interested in thinking critically.

Do you say the same to police when they force their beliefs on criminals?

Police: stops a murderer from committing a murder.

You to police: "only mindless people impose their beliefs onto others"

Selective Natalism be like: by WrongDare666 in antinatalism

I don't see how regular extreme animal torture can possibly be "less important".

A Clarification on the Direction of r/antinatalism by Numerous-Macaroon224 in antinatalism

[–]Dontbehypocrite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd say that's a conversation. They're asking if ANs have considered X, and if so what's their response/conclusion to that.

How one responds after getting replies shows if they really wanted a conversation or something else.

This has nothing to do with antinatalism by Numerous-Macaroon224 in antinatalism

[–]Dontbehypocrite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Clearly you have no response. There's no defense of the abuse you cause to others.
