you actually don’t have any idea what I’m talking about. please just try to learn about how liberal democracies breed fascism.

no one is suggesting that, either. there is a cure for political illiteracy.

it tells me that you don’t know how liberal democracies lay the groundwork for fascism

this comment is very telling

many people are vegan. meat production increases energy year.

eating is a use

or because they recognized how lazy and dismissive your response was, and they don’t care to be patronized.

no, I didn’t

no one ever demanded you justify your decision to eat plants

It’s not an interesting debate.

so don’t engage, but don’t pretend you’ve rebutted anything.

you’re not engaging with the other person at all. you’re treating them like they are a child to be taught. you have no idea whether they’ve seen these arguments before. you just threw a link at them.

being vegan won’t change how much water is used by agriculture

I didn’t say anything about you rebutting your decisions. I’m talking about you’re response to someone’s own decisions.

this has to be the height of intellectual laziness and bad faith. you’re not actually engaging with the person who typed the comment at all.

“use” is a synonym of “exploit”

so, yes

putting a phrase on a vegan bingo card is insufficient to rebutt the argument.

the plant-based food industry may have grown, but so has the meat industry. it increases year over year, and whatever excuse you may have, being vegan hasn’t stopped that.

if being vegan made a difference this might be true.

no. veganism eschews exploitation of animals for food
