Because you care for people and want to cause them no harm, or at least less? I don’t understand what you mean by the question.
I’m sorry, but it is. I have been responding to your response. The response you chose to write. You even recognize the irony of saying “some of my best friends are vegetarian”; some part of you sees you’re doing the same sort of backpedaling that other people saying “some of my best friends are X” are doing.
So how about you and the part of you that chose to put that statement in quotes continue this conversation? That part of you is on to something, and they know you better than a random person on the internet ever could.
Are you now just arguing for the sake of arguing?
That was a response to your “There is no ethical consumption under capitalism”. With your current response even contradicting your previous statement, i.e. “Because you care for people and want to cause them no harm, or at least less? I don’t understand what you mean by the question.” <- see. There are ethical ways to live/consume in capitalism, not everything is about greed. There is a choice. Which is what vegetarianism and veganism are explicitly about. If you really lived by “There is no ethical consumption under capitalism” then there would be no rationalization for being vegetarian or vegan.
Also still - this whole discussion can be had without going into who I am or what I do. My comment is about the video, in which he went vegan for a while, then decided to eat meat again the first second the time is over, without taking a minute to think about what he did the last month. That section where they were eating the burger could as well have been a discussion about how their month went, and how and why they continue from there. That’s a criticism that can come from anyone, no matter whether they are vegan, vegetarian or omnivore. I never claimed anywhere that I’m vegan or not, it’s irrelevant for this discussion.
Please look up how “no ethical consumption under capitalism” is used in other contexts, because you’re clearly not willing to take my comments in good faith and it would be a shame if you brought this aggressive ignorance to other conversations.
