This isn’t about being smug or not. Veganism is morally superior as long as you consider that animals suffer for Human Consumption, envionmental impacts of animal products far outweigh vegan alternatives, and humans can get all of their nutrition from vegan sources.
The reason humans eat meat is for pleasure and profit, neither of which can be considered “morally superior” to the benefits of Veganism.
I really hope it’s a cultural difference, but where I’m from, calling someone a ‘morally inferior feminine whiner’ “having a full on tantrum” because they said something you dislike with is frowned upon.
Flattening “I deserve to murder terrified children slaves because I’m a picky eater” to “something I dislike” is a bigger offense than your misquote.
But your description of the carnists in this thread is not inaccurate, minus the misogyny you’re illiterately trying to paint me with.
But no matter what, wherever there’s suffering; wherever there’s exploitation, there’s a .world account defending it in the most trite, superficial way possible.
The smug, eternally morally superior vegan:
I mean, Vegans are morally superior, that’s a solved question.
Can anyone downvoting this explain how vegans are not morally superior?
I would be very surprised. I am not even fully vegan myself, people just don’t want to confront their own moral issues.
no, they’re not
Yes, they are, unless you can make the argument that animal suffering and environmental destruction are good things.
being vegan doesn’t do anything about those
It reduces demand for meat, lowering production, ergo lowering environmental impact and animal suffering. Simple as.
production increases every year.
Not as quickly if there were no Vegans. Veganism does lower demand.
there is not any way to prove such a claim, as you cannot prove a counterfactual.
