I never said socialism was better, and I never said i was an omnivore. I’m not entirely sure, but it seems like you’re changing what I said in your mind so you can win an argument we aren’t actually having.
If you want to discuss what I was trying to say, try this: I believe that the production of animal products for consumption inherently creates emissions and causes environmental damages that come as part of the production process. The owners of these businesses receive compensation for the production of this product. I believe that the people who own businesses and receive this compensation are the ones who should be responsible for the emissions and damages caused by their businesses, not the people who consume their products.
Eating meat isn’t the problem, and therefore not eating meat will not solve the problem. Unless, of course, you can somehow convince the population of the world to stop consuming meat, which sounds rather idyllic. Veganism can, however, have numerous health benefits. And if you don’t like animals dying just so you can eat, then boy do i have a diet for you!
The reason people say that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism is because capitalism is exploitative by nature. Any time you consume something produced in a capitalist market, you are incentivizing exploitation. That is a value we have to compromise on to some degree or other in order to live within a capitalist market system.
I definitely didn’t say socialism was any better.
If you want to disagree with any of that, we can discuss it. But i was already an asshole to rbn yesterday and I don’t want that happening again, either direction. So if you’re not going to discuss my actual opinion, then just don’t bother at all.
