Really? You think cities are the equivalent of industrial farms? That the human experience is exactly like cows huddled in their own shit with no room to turn around? Like pigs forced into quarters where they go crazy and eat the tails of the pigs in front of them? Really?
- Quarrelsome 17y agoNo. Cities are more likely to breed human disease than lots of small hamlets. That's all. The argument being put forward is that anything that creates disease is bad. My argument is that a lot of what we already have is built with that trade-off against us.
- calambrac 17y agoThat wasn't the argument at all, that was your absurdist disingenuous interpretation of the argument. Anything that creates disease is a pretty wide net. He was specifically talking about industrial farms, because they seem to have particularly dangerous conditions in this regard.
