want to see a westerner have a full on tantrum? Suggest to them that their actions are not always morally neutral

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 17 points 3 months ago

The smug, always morally neutral easterners:

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I hate these filthy Neutrals. With enemies you know where they stand but with Neutrals, who knows? It sickens me.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml -2 points 3 months ago

Look up the prevalence of veganism

[-] Godric@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

The smug, eternally morally superior vegan:

[-] SoyaSuki@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

smug, eternally morally superior vegan Yay! me 🥰 also: 😏

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

I mean, Vegans are morally superior, that's a solved question.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Can anyone downvoting this explain how vegans are not morally superior?

  • Not a vegan btw
[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

I would be very surprised. I am not even fully vegan myself, people just don't want to confront their own moral issues.

Yes, they are, unless you can make the argument that animal suffering and environmental destruction are good things.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee -5 points 3 months ago

being vegan doesn't do anything about those

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

It reduces demand for meat, lowering production, ergo lowering environmental impact and animal suffering. Simple as.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee -4 points 3 months ago

It reduces demand for meat, lowering production

production increases every year.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 months ago

Not as quickly if there were no Vegans. Veganism does lower demand.

[-] wakumul@lemm.ee -3 points 3 months ago

there is not any way to prove such a claim, as you cannot prove a counterfactual.

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Are they just wasting money producing food they know isn't in demand? What are you on? You're goofy.

[-] Godric@lemmy.world -5 points 3 months ago

Thry certainly earn the smug reputation

[-] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

This isn't about being smug or not. Veganism is morally superior as long as you consider that animals suffer for Human Consumption, envionmental impacts of animal products far outweigh vegan alternatives, and humans can get all of their nutrition from vegan sources.

The reason humans eat meat is for pleasure and profit, neither of which can be considered "morally superior" to the benefits of Veganism.

They're better than you and it should be known.
