The single reason to avoid this is a slippery slope: When do we start having human livestock?
While I am a liberal, this is the side of liberalism that I detest.
- wutbrodo 7y ago> While I am a liberal, this is the side of liberalism that I detest. Huh? What's liberal about this? Just the fact that it's a radical proposal? That's a pretty flat (and I'd argue, inaccurate) definition of liberalism.
- Piskvorrr 7y agoIt's not even radical. I mean, it's been originally penned as a modest proposal ;) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal
- nobodyandproud 7y agoIt was a knee-jerk reaction on my part. Cannibalism isn’t something that I would expect the religious (generally in the conservative camp) would tolerate, whereas the camp that believes in the natural goodness of humans (classic liberalism) might.
- dagnysdildo 7y agoWe already have human livestock. We call them "human resources", "consumers", and "taxpayers".
