I assumed better considering his videos. Like…it was prettt clear he was vegan for a while. These people are disgusting. I dont understand how people can be so callous about animals. I think i may just vibe with animal in a different way than many people. Ive met many a cow, pig and chicken. They all are cute as hell. Arguing its play to.ear animals cause ‘we are clearly the superior species’ is some nazi shit full stop. Prove that we are better than chickens in any respectable way. Fuck this monsters

    Over the course of my life we just keep learning more and more about the depths and dimensions of animal intelligence. At this point I just assume that my knowledge is wrong and obsolete when it comes to how intelligent and curious and playful animals are.

    What we don’t seem to repeatedly discover is hidden depths of unnecessary cruelty in animal behaviour. There is some, but not like people. Especially not like these people. Mr fucken “Oh so you think a chicken and a human are equal?” “Yes and you might too if you could see how this is analogous to comparing white and black people a hundred years ago.” “HA SO YOU THINK BLACK PEOPLE AND CHICKENS ARE EQUAL”

    This is why I try not to argue on the fucking internet. I refuse to believe that person has finished growing their brain.

      “HA SO YOU THINK BLACK PEOPLE AND CHICKENS ARE EQUAL”

      This line of debate-bro smuglord logic is what makes me wish very violently that China’s really prepping to invade all of the west and enforce complete authoritankie commie rule like the libs fearmonger about. People who have the gall to say this shit while continuing to spread and uphold bigotry deserve absolutely zero mercy

      Carnists think this is an own because they can’t imagine anyone else not having the same gross indifference to non-human life that they do

    I completely unironically believe 200 million chickens are worth less than a single human life.

    Source: raise chickens, they are dumb little bastards.

    White man enslaving a black man being morally equivalent to a man owning an animal is literally an argument that slave owners made. So I don’t think this comment comes off the way you think it does

    Imagine accusing someone else of sounding like a slave owner while arguing for enslaving others on the basis of their supposed inferiority

      Slave owner saying slavery is like owning an animal [compares the enslaved to animals to dehumanize both and justifies slavery, supports hierarchy of beings] vs. vegan saying owning an animal is like slavery [compares animals to the enslaved to humanize both, condemns slavery and hierarchy]

      lemmitor: Hur durr these are the same thing!!!

      Redditors love their bad faith condescension with black people props, not worth engaging with because 99% of their comments can just be translated to “Sieg Heil”
