Rolling coal is being an asshole on purpose, and i would bet the same percentage of idiots do that as think they are owning the libs by eating steak every day. Less than 1%. The stat is about the 12% who eat most of the beef, most of those people are not trying to do anything performative or political.
The internet is skewing your understanding of the prevalence of these things, and it’s embarrassing to see people on here create straw men arguments about all the beef eating being performative, thinking they’re making a great dunk when they’re just totally wrong.
Exactly the point I was getting at.
And you're the enlightened detached very offline authority of who is too online and who is not, and you apparently draw that boundary with "le steak is le delicious STOP TALKING ABOUT THIS RIGHT NOW" rage posting.
Talk about it all you want. But creating straw men to get mad about is pretty embarrassing, that’s all.
What liberal brainworm? Specify.
Is this some leftover fallout from that vegan struggle session that you went into with both fists swinging?
I really don't know many other ways to go in, if I got strong enough pushback in a way that made sense i would have stopped. My pride doesn't exist and I will give ground on any belief if it seems logical and humanistic.
Killing animals and eating them is logically unnecessary and even the slaughter of them does lasting psychological harm to human beings in the slaughterhouses alone, if you don't want to speak of the pain and suffering and distress of the animals themselves. That should be enough.
true
im going to need to think about this a little, thanks for your patience.
