And there's crime so you might as well rape. What a pathetic cop out. You're lucky there are so many people taking care of you.
the claim is that by not consuming factory farmed meat, you make an impact on the amount of emissions from its production. this is not true. it is also not analogous to raping anyone.
You honestly think that factory farm emissions font change if people don't give them money for their product? If your head was any further down in the sand, the magma would melt it.
Analogies don't indicate a similar level of morality. They are used to explain points to people who, for some reason, are unwilling or unable to otherwise understand.
have you tried that?
Yes, I have. The millions of us who choose not to help those assholes causes them to make less e missions. Unfortunately there are still people like you who live without caring about anyone but their own immediate gratification.
that has never happened
no one said that. what i said is that emissions from agriculture have always risen, so it can't be that anything you've done has decreased them.
If you don't give bezos money every month, then he has less money than if you did give him money every month. This doesn't mean that you not giving him money makes him poorer, but he has less money than he would have if you had given him money. This isn't tough to understand, I know I grasp it.
in one hypothetical versus another, sure. but in the real worlds, we can't prove a counterfactual. you can't prove whether, if I had given him money, if he'd have ended up poorer anyway.
