You people are unhinged.
Ok vegan
no one pays for murder
everything ive said is true
Ok vegan
no one does that
Ok, i get it, it's fun to hate on the vegan, but he's right and you're not.
If you buy meat somewhere part of the price is you paying for the person that killed it. That's obvious right?
Of course in relation to the cat, even if there's a healthy vegan diet possible, he's wrong imo. Why force our choices onto pets?
no. that person is already paid and paid by somebody who is not me
your version of the story leaves out some important facts like it doesn't matter whether you put it in your cart because it's already dead, and the person who killed it was already paid by somebody who wasn't you.
this is handwaving, not evidence for your position
I haven't made an argument. I'm rebutting yours. this, too, is not evidence for your position
iphones were made before anyone ever bought one. that's how linear time works.
it's a legitimate objection unless you can show causation
if you don't have evidence for your position, that is good reason to suspect it is not valid. a claim made without evidence can be dismissed without evidence, after all.
do you have a plan to achieve this? I'll help. let me know when I'm the last one.
I'm being earnest
animals were killed for food long before money. there is no reason to think it will ever stop
you don't know what I need
That is pretty irrelevant. You purchasing the product signals a certain demand for it, that demand will help determine how much product is requested in the future, there is a cascading effect all the way up the supply chain. Sure an additional chicken might not be bred just because you purchased a chicken, it's way more abstract than that. Maybe if a hundred more chickens are bought then a hundred more chickens will be bred as replacements plus extra to account for growth and failed product (dead or sick chickens). And if you were one of the hundred people who purchased a chicken you can be seen as one hundredth responsible for at least a hundred chickens which is the same as being responsible for the 1+ chicken. Do you think if nobody purchased chickens that they would just keep stocking the shelves?
