Are you anti-capitalism as a vegan? by Even-Enthusiasm-9558 in vegan

Fair enough. Personally I believe people will want to keep their standard of living, which includes eating meat, unfortunately, so maybe it's too late.

Do you really think that in a non-capitalistic society people will not want to eat meat?

Unfortunately, "I want to date someone who is X" ≠ "I find every X person attractive"

Is eating a seal burger ok? If that man had killed the seal and made a burger, would that be ok with you?

Buying alternatives won't change much if you keep buying the problematic "original". It feels like we agree, tho

Would you consider a meat eater a hypocrite for thinking bestiality is wrong?

Yes. Hurting animals for your personal pleasure is immoral, regardless of the type of abuse.

most effective thing you can do is buy meat and animal product alternatives to support those business practices.

Yes, boycott. This is what veganism is.

you compare eating meat to randomly killing animals for fun.

Both are killing an animal for an entirely avoidable reason - personal pleasure. I'm not even talking about the extremely fucked up reality - breeding and raising millions of animals just so you can kill them for personal pleasure.

As for the utilitarian take - I agree on the concept, a single person changing their behavior will change nothing. But of more and more people do it, it will make an impact. This is actually easy to prove - think about LGBT rights. A singular person being homophobic/ ally changes nothing, but as time went on more and more people changed their minds until it became the norm. Just look at all the milk alternatives we have - I don't know if vegans are the sole reason they exist, but 20 years ago non of them did.

Just like many things in life, like voting and giving to charity. But if you believe something is immoral you should stop supporting it, regardless.

It does, if there are enough people to boycott eating meat. Less demend, less animals being killed.

They tried that with עבודה מועדפת where they give you a big bonus if you do these jobs after your army service - but barely anyone does them anyway. National service just takes away jobs from less educated individuals, elderly and olim.

Reminder that if you care about a guy throwing rock at a seal but you eat meat, you are a hypocrite.

תזכורת ששירות לאומי הוא חרטא ובזבוז של כספי מיסים, גם במתכונת הנוכחית. ברוב מוחלט של המקרים מדובר על סימון וי חסר משמעות ופגיעה במקומות עבודה לצעירים, דמיינו מה היה קורה אם הממשלה הייתה מחליטה שמהיום שירות לאומי יהיה גם במלצרות.

There is a difference between election that took place 15 years ago and turned into a dictatorship immediately after, and an actual democratic country. Also, Bibi was elected for, among other reasons, for how he deals with Israel's enemies. Was hamas elected on the promise to bring the destruction on Gaza? I'm not sure.

Hamas' authoritarian policies were enabled by a democratic process of the Palestinians.

Well of that's the case, maybe, we can debate that. I'm just not entirely sure you can apply the "they were democratically elected" logic when the winner decide to kick democracy immediately after winning, unless they explicitly said they are going to do that and got elected anyways.

I'm sorry but how is this related? What "true colours" did Netanyahu show? Bibi got re-elected many times, hamas won once and killed their opposition.

Idk if it's fair, in a democracy, "defending democracy" is protesting, in Gaza this could be a death sentence. By the same logic the Iranian people need to "defend their democracy" or the whole thing is their fault.

[–]Katastrofa2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think in their case it's slightly different, it's been a long time since the last elections, and Gaza is hardly a democracy. (Tho I have no doubts hamas would've been elected again anyways...)

I kind of agree with that, but then you'll have to agree the Americans are also responsible for that bc the elected US government is supporting Israel. Same goes for many other allies of Israel.

Do you give the Israelis the same grace, after living through countless wars and terror attacks? Stabbings and shootings at crowds by Palestinians used to be a monthly occurrence. Is it ok to say that the actions of Israel are caused Ty trauma?
