pan20005. "Veganism kills less plants than omnivorism." WRONG. Because different lands can sustain different crops. Some are for animals and their food, some for our plants. Do sheep eat tomatoes? Do humans eat grass?
4. "Rape is karmic for women who wear fur because the conditions in fur farms are awful" Ok. Let's ban fur farms. But you can NEVER, EVER JUSTIFY RAPE, especially when it comes to clothes.
3. "You can't be a pacifist if you eat meat" NOPE. Jesus: "What gets inside someone's mouth doesn't make him dirty, what comes out of their mouth does" So, defending rape and bullying while not eating meat won't make you a pacifist.
2. "You are brainwashed by the system into liking meat." To any extremist who uses this, and they all use this, and only them: Translation: I have no arguments and can't possibly be wrong, I am always right! So a scapegoat which is allegedly behind everyone who disagrees with me must be brainwashing people. No, biology made us able to eat meat. And before anyone says that then, slavery is in biology too...
1. "Killing Jews for disagreeing with you is the same as eating pigs because you are hungry" WITH "anyone who disagrees with the above is like Hitler". Hitler would strongly agree with the above and kill anyone who said otherwise. Food is the most basic of needs, people who disagree with you don't affect you at all if they exist or not. All animals are sentient, but humans are also SAPIENT. They can do more than feel, they can also think... well, most of them anyway. Also, for anyone who compares the disabled to animals, fuck you, people who have an illness aren't separate species, they are PEOPLE.
Using Godwin for those who don't make these comparisons isn't just petty! It's also very hypocritical. No, those who DO make these are like Hitler.
