Hey look it’s a comment from the parallel universe where we live in an anarcho communist society and don’t have to work to live. What’s it like being able to make coersion-free choices about how to spend your time?

Let them have time off and they’ll stick around! And some more money wouldn’t hurt. The nursing crisis is fixable.

“Finish your plate” is part of a global conspiracy by parents to raise obesity levels.

Results from our analyses suggest several individual differences that align r/AntiVegan users with the community, including dark entertainment, ex-veganism and science denial.

You’re gonna tell me that “real” science is whatever aligns with your religion, aren’t you?

Do you want me to use tame insults or to call carnists murderers?

Okay have fun using insults to compensate for your lack of having any arguments or evidence.

I see that you’re only able to argue using words when discussing the Thanksgiving turkey. For which your arguments amount to “but it’s cooked tho” and “but only the consumption of the flesh happens on the day”. Okay, both correct, and both irrelevant. Meanwhile, you’ve responded to all of my core points not with words, logic, or meaning, but with guttural vocalisations of emotion. Thus, I infer that your only argument in favour of the carnist religion is an emotional one, intended not to persuade but to intimidate. So I repeat my claim that no scientifically minded person could agree with your religion.

No thanks, I’m allergic to grass. I’ll get itchy and my nose will run.

There’s no way a person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would eat corpses. Not unless they were in a situation of absolute desperation. A person who bases their decisions on scientific thinking would determine killing is bad, and would just eat plants instead. Even if it cost an extra four dollars per grocery trip.

Corpse eating happens because of tradition and dogma. Because “that’s the way we’ve always done things.” We indoctrinate children into this blood cult and normalise violence the same way some religions normalise genital mutilation or ritual sacrifice of humans. Hells, the thanksgiving turkey, which is served in the literal shape of its corpse rather than being butchered or processed, is a ritual sacrifice.

A religion is not defined only by worship of gods, or else Buddhism would not be a religion. A religion can be defined by dogmatic, ritualised, inhumane practices taught to children from birth in the name of tradition. That’s what carnism is. I’ve never seen a defence of carnism that didn’t speak to some idea of “the natural order” or “tradition” or “the gods made them to be our food”, or some other religious nonsense.

Ew, corpse eating. When will people realise that these disgusting religious practices aren’t okay to talk about in public? Nobody likes your corpse eating cult.

Sounds like you haven’t experienced the bliss that is fairy bread with Nutella instead of butter.

The future is now, old man!

You’re right, how could I be so blind. They’re actually sausage sangas

Obesity isn’t a social inequality problem, except in the sense that obese people are more likely to be poor, and to suffer obesity due to stress, poor nutrition, and addiction. Obese people are not oppressing anyone. If you want to talk about food waste while people starve, then talk about the corporations throwing perfectly good food in dumpsters that they put a padlock on to stop homeless people from dumpster diving.

Sure, obesity was a sign of privilege and oppression 200 years ago, before modern agricultural practices such as the use of pesticides and heavy machinery. These days, there isn’t too little food, there’s too much. Starvation isn’t a problem of natural scarcity, and certainly not a problem of people eating too much. It’s a product of artificial scarcity, wherein good food is thrown away because people can’t pay for it. Your political theory is two centuries out of date. It’s time to stop hating fat people.

That’s actually the fart gun from Despicable Me

Yesterday probably. Someone probably got released from prison yesterday.

They’ll get used to it if it’s the only way, or they’ll find a workaround, like a sensible railway network. Big gas taxes would create a big opportunity for private industry to build railways. Where’s the invisible hand of the free market? I’ll tell you where it is, it’s scratching its own bum out of boredom because the government won’t regulate externalities and make companies responsible for their own decisions.

We have to do it all overnight to make up for it. Otherwise, Canadians are going to be sipping pina colada on the Manitoba beaches while the rest of the world burns.
