    Yet you remain silent on the enslavement of plants? Lemons aren’t even natural. They’re an unholy crossbreed created by humans. We’ve been enslaving and bending nature to our will for generations to suit us. We artificially cultivate them in cramped farm rows. We even modify the very genetics of plants! How is that not slavery as well?

        Plants feel pain and communicate with each other, yet you see them as the equivalent to inanimate objects? And you try to take the moral high ground here?

        I’m obviously shitposting but c’mon. You don’t see the ridiculousness of calling someone equal to a slave owner for simply refusing to engage?
