I really need an explanation on this since people are not shutting up for months that EU is apparently putting insects in food for the people to be forced to buy and feed on like survivalists in jungle would? I know that EU is completely unhinged nazi hellhole and whatnot, but to this extent to feed themselves on bugs? I don't think so.

Can somebody please tell me about this, they are not shutting up about it on social media for months?!

My understanding of this thread is that I:

told rjs001 that I didn't agree with the root of their argument (the specie-ism argument for veganism).
I attempted to avoid this very conversation by "agreeing to disagree" - we've all seen this argument play out, and know no one is changing their mind.
You chose to ignore my wishes, and plunged ahead with the same argument we've all seen, ostensibly to evangelize.

I can take inspiration, but that’s a different thing entirely.

This reads, to me, as a really gross attempt to backdoor out of the conversation by acting like your personal choice to be a vegan is being criticized.

It is not. I am happy that you are happy with your choices, and the diet you've chosen.

You've moved from grandiose statements about me ("Either all conscious life is sacred, none of it is, or the life that you care about or directly benefits you is sacred") to "I" statements.

You are very welcome to be a vegan. You are not welcome to use your spiritual understanding to persuade me to be a vegan. I don't talk to Mormon missionaries for a reason.

Just because something is “marxist” doesn’t make it objectively correct. I don’t limit myself to things Marxists did because that’s a silly bastardization of Marxism.

I'm happy for you. You're welcome to your religious understanding. I do not share it.

I do not want to re-hash an argument over the specie-ism argument for veganism.

If you can't link that argument to Marxism, I would like you to leave me alone about it, please.
