    99% of vegans dont say eating meat in itself is wrong and this bullshit narrative needs to stop

    Edit: I wrote “in itself” to make it especially clear, but it seems people are skipping that part. The act of eating meat can not be evil, carnivorous animals do it for survival. The context is always what matters.

      I would go as far as to say that most vegans wouldn’t have a moral problem with eating roadkill. The physical act of eating meat is only harmful to an animal if it’s still alive while you’re eating it. The problem is the part before that, where you paid someone to hurt it

      🤣 go to the Lemmy vegan community and say that. I’m sure you’ll easily get 99 upvotes and only a single downvote

        I can go to a conservative community and say liberals have horns and get the same result. It proves nothing.

        It’s all about assumed context. If you ask that question in English on the internet, most readers assume you’re talking about in the US, or failing that, in a developed country in the West. Therefore if you buy a pound of beef, it’s from a factory farm.

        They’re not going to assume you’re a scavenger harvesting meat from already dead caribou in the artic.

            Incredible that you were able to mental gymnastics what I said into an attack on poor people and you assumed I can read Spanish.

            I wish you well in your mental health crisis.
