“Yes, your honor, he did kill my wife and I did give him money. However, I gave him the money afterwards, and effects cannot occur before causes, so there’s no possible connection.”

Did you actually watch the video? He isn’t saying that spirituality is bad. He’s saying that you should be vegan for rational reasons.
Not necessarily. It can be something as simple as “My spiritual beliefs just happen to align with what I want to do already”. If you want to eat meat, it’s very tempting to find a “spiritual” reason for doing it. Nobody can question you; it’s just what you believe!
Which ethical systems don’t consider sentience?! Big yikes.
What makes you think that I’m part of the GOP? There are a lot of people on the left who disagree with the Democrats.
Yeah, whoever made this was probably 20 and thinks that’s what a 33-year-old looks like.
Is “more ethical” really enough if you accept that plants can suffer
I don’t accept that, but even if I did, you should still act to minimize suffering as much as possible.
Do you really believe that killing a plant is the same as killing an animal?
Russian…communists? Do you know what year it is?
You can still care about animal cruelty and be ethical, even if you have an allergy. Having a medical condition doesn’t give you a free pass to do whatever you want.
If you’re eating meat, then you’re contributing to the death of all of those plants that had to feed the animals you’re eating. Even if you grant plants sentience, veganism is still the more ethical option.
Also dairy.
Funny, that’s what I call people who parrot Democrat propaganda.
“Everybody who disagrees with me is a tankie!”
No candidate can win, unless you vote for them. That’s the entire point of voting.
I live in a blue state, so using that logic, I shouldn’t vote at all. Voting for Trump or Biden is a waste of time, because the state will go blue regardless.
His base doesn’t think for themselves, and would vote for him if he killed their family in front of them.
If Biden killed your family in front of you, would you still vote for him?
I wish to God we had Bernie instead of Biden, but Bernie wouldn’t have won.
What convinced you of this?
so the best that can be done is vote for the least fucked up option and work to improve things.
Democrats were good at the first part, but not the second. I remember lots of Dems saying “Vote for Biden, and then we’ll hold his feet to the fire!” Well, there was no “holding his feet to the fire”, because that’s seen as enabling Trump.
The perfect candidate/option does not exist and never will
Yes, but there are candidates who are better, such as Jill Stein and Cornel West. You can’t vote for a perfect candidate, but you can vote for the best candidate.
What was the reason?
Let me lay brass tax here’s what I believe in.
A brass tax? I don’t think that would help.
Don’t care, still voting Stein.
Ah, yes, Jimmy Kimmel. The voice of reason.
