i am more than willing to engage on any positive claim you want to make (i probably agree with a lot of them). what i’m not willing to do is tolerate personal attacks and dogpiling.

commie,

The only options are: status quo that doesn’t do the bare minimum against genocide, or an actual fascist who is literally promising to do more genocide.

i expect to have at least 4 names on my ballot. i don’t need to pick one of your favorite teams.

commie,

Don’t be surprised when people are confused at your lack of rationale.

i’m being fully rational about this for any deontological viewpoint. if you disagree with deontological ethics, then we have nothing to discuss: i don’t care to try to convince you you’re wrong, and i’ve heard all the arguments you can summon.

commie,

i’m probably gonna vote for cornel west, but jill stein can still win me back!

commie,

They are not the same and anyone who tries to argue otherwise in this day and age is either stupid or malicious.

no one is saying they are the same.

commie,

ourworldindata.org/…/Global-soy-production-to-end…

i can’t click your paywalled link

here’s what the UN’s FAO says

oil is 17.2%. since a soybean is only about 20% oil to begin with, you need to crush 85% of all soybeans to get that much oil. do you see how the vast majority of what is fed to animals is called “soy meal” or “soy cake”? that’s the industrial waste from processing soybeans to oil.

commie,

Literally no human i have ever interacted with before you thought not buying a steak for a few months instantly fixes the world.

i never said that.

commie,

If you were not emotionally engaged, youd simply point out the data.

i’ve provided exactly as much data as you have.

commie,

Reducing global meat production would be a net benefit to the planet and every being living on it in the long term.

that’s true. what you said before was not.

commie,

Try a different browser.

commie,

Tiny niche doesnt stop global trend. Who knew?

you’re the one telling people being vegan will help, but now you’re admitting it doesn’t. you should just go edit the comments where you lied about this and apologize to the people who might have been misled.

commie,

so maybe you should stop lying to people about being vegan helping the planet.

commie, (edited )

Less meat produced = better.

that hasn’t happened

commie,

youre lying

everything i’ve said is true. you are the one who seems to want to bend reality to match your beliefs.

commie,

Reducing demand for said production at a large scale WOULD (this is in conjunctive because it’s still a small movement so IT HASN’T HAPPENED YET - we all know that) over time force said production to scale down.

that’s not causal.

commie,

make any excuse you like for why being vegan doesn’t help.

commie,

it’s not a nirvana fallacy. they’re actually right, being vegan has no impact at all. a peace treaty actually creates peace. buying beans just means beans are sold, it doesn’t do anything to change any of the problems.

commie,

it’s not like we’d be throwing away megatons of silage if it weren’t for cattle.

I don’t think there is a better use than making food. I’m fine with that.

commie, (edited )

i have math on my side, but also the USDA says so as well.

Although some of the crop is used directly, more than 80 percent of the crop is processed into soybean meal and oil through crushing.

commie,

It does, if enough people did it.

do you have a plan to make that happen? how many people is enough?

commie, (edited )

but beef, chicken, and pork continue to be made in increasing amounts. things are getting worse despite the fact that vegans exist. being vegan doesn’t help the planet at all.

commie,

85% of global soy is pressed for oil. the vast majority of the soy that’s fed to animals is the industrial waste from that process.

commie,

strawmen? not really. it’s exhausting dealing with intellectual dishonesty.

commie,

you can make any excuse you want. the fact is that being vegan has not helped the environment at all.

commie,

when someone takes you at your word, and then you need to walk back your position to a much weaker claim because they point out that you are writing checks the facts don’t support, it’s you who is practicing intellectual dishonesty. compounding it with strawmen, and then rhetorically implying it is, in fact, the person who called you out who is being dishonest is the height of intellectual dishonesty. you should be ashamed, and you should edit the comments where you lied so as not to continue to mislead other users.

commie,

I guess large scale veganism still only removes loads of industrial processes/co2 production, unspeakable animal abuse and insane amounts - and i mean ludicrous amounts - of wasted drinking water.

that has never happened.
