What’s wrong with people is that sociopaths who crave money and power to do awful things like this tend to be very good at getting them, whereas people with compassion and kindness tend to be overly generous and want to see the good in others, so tend to give away too much money and power to those sociopaths, especially if those sociopaths are good at putting up a noble front.
Plus, vast segments of the human population are basically blind sheep that don’t think for themselves, and do whatever the media tells them to do. Only way to really solve this in the long term is by convincing people with morals to be more ambitious and to understand how to gain, then use money and power to influence society and the media. The dictator / oligarch types are very good at this (controlling money, power, and the media) whereas nice people who just want to help everyone are very poor at this.
Yeah, a good point I guess. It generally is the same type of person who is somewhat sociopathic who also happens to find themself in a position of power and wealth etc.
No. That’s not how this works. You don’t get to put every non-vegetarian at the same level as these fuckers.
I eat meat, but I want the animals up until the moment of slaughter to live a good, stressfree life. And the slaughter itself to be immediate and painless. Not to have their fingers chopped off or them being tortured with screwdrivers, hammers and pliers.
You acknowledge here that animals feel pain and suffering and that you’d prefer not to cause pain and suffering to animals
If you have any sense you can see that you eating meat causes pain and suffering to animals, yet you continue to eat meat. Why do you decide to suffer this cognitive dissonance instead of just stopping causing suffering to innocents?
