Do popsci authors have a reputation?
My mental health has been repeatedly ruined by scientists reporting similarly ground-breaking and kind of shaky findings. Am I supposed to... not freak out about any supposed scientific fact that gets more than 1000 upvotes on Reddit?
Fuck
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 can take inspiration, but that’s a different thing entirely.
I care much more about the well being of humans than insects.
There is no reason to care about a human being that provides you no benefit more than an animal, other than pure prejudice. Human beings do not have "greater moral value" or some insane shit like that. The only possible justification we could use to prioritize human beings is some variant of "might makes right" bullshit which is just fascist schlock and leaves no room for the human beings that aren't "mighty". Or some weird pseudo scientific argument that animals feel less pain than us or something, but everyone agrees that's highly suspect anyways.
Either all conscious life is sacred, none of it is, or the life that you care about or directly benefits you is sacred. So, it's valid to care about humans more, but don't pretend it's an objectively correct belief, because there is no such thing in that field. I could claim that crickets are way more important than human beings and have about as much grounding as you as long as I legitimately believed that.
Does it make more sense to prioritize human beings because we're all human and want to be prioritized? Yeah, that makes sense. But hurting animals is still sus under that logic.
Let's not pretend the stigma against veganism doesn't exist.
It definitely does, and it makes it much easier to for them to push this shit.
Wait, the "other cultures eat bugs" thing is a racist stereotype?
how much of it is just chuds throwing a fit over hunter biden having furry porn on his computer or something?
it's a good argument against imperialism when you're trying to convince the people who live in the Amerikkka
