Raping? You think farmers are raping their cows? That's the hysteria I was referring to earlier.

Vegans find a talking point that causes them to upset themselves and demands everyone else see it from their perspective. It's emotionally manipulative at best.

Personally, I find it hilarious how you've upset yourself over imagined grievances. Watching a new religion being created in real time is fascinating. Dogma forming and shifting to fill the voids of logic. Sociologically, amazing.

There also aren't a billion pigs in the world. Billions of chickens, yes. Billions of cows, yes. Around three quarters of a billion pigs.

Your inability to do some basic research on your position is incredible. Feelings over facts. Emotions over reason. Project these failings in the other.

To be clear, that's a yes on genocide, cloaked by eugenics.

I can only assume you view farmers has evil since they are the ones breeding these animals.

You believe all farm animals are treated poorly and spend their lives suffering or are willing to genocide them all because some are based on information that either you cherry picked or was cherry picked for you. Likely the later

You belief without doubt these animals would rather not exist than be born. That alone more closely aligns you with "the wrong side of history" -- I am unaware of any reports on animals mass suiciding so I'm guessing they are happier than humans, who coincidently commit suicide a large rates...maybe we should cull that herd instead, they are the ones responsible for deforesting the Amazon. I know you'd rather blame the existence of animals but I'm not aware of any cows reasonable for cutting down trees.

The reality is that you care more about how these animals make you feel than how they feel. You've clearly never asked a pig if it wanted to die.

You may be surprised to know that if you were to chase a pig with knife while calmly explaining it's what's best for her, she would be content to trample you rather than accept your mercy killing for being of a sullied bloodline.

Difference being if we end animal husbandry Earth simply won't have those animals anymore. More a genocide really.

How many draft horse does the average farmer have now that we have tractors?

Once we lose or reduce these genetic lineages, there is no going back.

Vegans want to pretend they are protecting animals but they aren't, their ideas result in a less genetically diverse biosphere. They are hurting the longevity of our species by attempting to force others down a path that relies on technology they take for granted or more likely do not understand. You see this when they talk about animal feed corn and think we can replace those same fields at the same yields as sweet corn. They aren't agriculturists but want to tell us how agriculture ought to be.

And it's clearly an emotional position because you will reject any logic or reasoning they are present. They feel they are right and their righteousness is part of the argument.

You seem surprised that we have a special word for something that humans have been doing before written history.

Do you have any clever musings on the encompassing term, agriculture? Perhaps how it has culture in it and culture is emotions instead of reason.

Are you comparing animal husbandry to owning slaves?

Militant vegans are a silly people.

I am always amused at how normalized it has become that political leaders need to advertise themselves as if they are a bottle of coke or some other brand.

We don't pick leaders anymore, we pick brands so of course they need vast sums of money because how else does one push brand awareness and convince people they need to choose a brand.

Social Darwinism never went away, we just stopped talking about it. One might argue it's an ingrained aspect of western civilization and beyond.

There use to be nickel and dime stores.

Corporate demands that numbers always go up, that means endless inflation.

I'll manage. I old enough that sex isn't top of mind. It would be no different that having prostate cancer whose treatment lead to the same outcome, minus the millions.

Wait, we can push it more than twice. I'm smashing on that button until it breaks.

I can easily pay to transition back if the whole girl thing doesn't work out.

No. This is just a movie. There is no free energy. Free energy wouldn't collapse the economy, it would accelerate it.

But there is no free energy. Physics is pretty clear on this. Even if it was possible to spend a trillion up front to create a system that generated energy at no additional cost, there is still the cost of transmitting the energy, there is still the cost of maintenance. Someone will still be able to extract a profit delivering the energy to you.

You can already experience free energy with solar panels and some batteries. World hasn't ended yet.
