That's not the premise at all.
That's a disingenuous strawman that anti-vegans would say to eachother about vegans to rile themselves up. It shows a total lack of understanding of what they're really about.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoPlease don't twist my contributions to being so ill-hearted. We're supposed to respond to each comment with generosity around here—defaulting to sincerity. The discussion began with moralizing about eating other living things.
- mike00632 6y agoYou literally proposed killing all humans and now feel unfairly portrayed as "ill-hearted".
- 52-6F-62 6y agoI didn't propose anything, Mike—let alone killing all humans. But maybe I made too many assumptions and should have anticipated some might take my comment literally. I'm an optimist, but I also don't anoint humankind with some divine moral authority—I put us on the level with every other animal on the planet.
- wcarron 6y agoI agree with mike. You have offered a reductio ad absurdum. This isn't meaningful discussion and it is painfully transparent, as well.
- 52-6F-62 6y agoTransparent? How's that? I was being hyperbolic, yes. That was the point. I think the entire argument over the morality of it is an appeal to absurdity. There are gross assumptions made on every side of the argument and I don't see any clear path to one side of the discussion about whether or not eating animals is immoral being possible. I'm not anti-vegan. How could one even be anti-vegan? Seems more like a personal conviction to me, and that's, quite frankly, none of my business.
