You know Peterson might be more convincing on this point if he wasn't an insane science denier quack himself.

hey a good portion of men love violence generally but performatively hate it when it's towards women

These people just want the best of both worlds. They want to feel morally superior whilst still doing the harmful things that people who are actually morally superior boycott. Nothing is ever on them, it's always somebody else.

Eating dogs was a part of South Korean culture and due to international pressure and influence dog meat has now been banned. How many meat eaters are upset about that and want the dog meat industry to come back? Yeah nobody cares about culture when they recognize a wrong.

you would’ve fucked with slavery heavy back in the day lowkey

“I’m going to school to be a mechanic, but if everyone was a mechanic, there would be nobody to provide food or healthcare or water, and humanity would die off. Therefore, working as a mechanic is probably immoral.” Genius.

“What kind of onion is this? “A yellow one obviously” “WRONG, you fool! For this is no onion at all, but rather a decorated cake! You must feel so stupid now huh!”

straight men do not forget to wish your bisexual girlfriend a happy pride month

Non vegans be like “omg cows are just like big dogs!! Sooo cute” and then pays for them to get r*ped and murdered for their taste buds

One common epistemic pitfall was that you basically weren’t allowed to disagree with any woke-coded ideas except for woke-coded reasons. Eg say you see some feminists saying they hate men; arguing against them by saying “you shouldn’t hate people for their gender” would not have made you popular. Rather you have to say something like “claims about men being dangerous have been used in a racist way.” Nothing can be an overcorrection, nothing can encroach upon social-justice-related reasons. Something can only be bad because it isn’t woke enough.

it is not enough to feed the homeless. you must kill for them

meat eaters are reactionary as fuck lol since when do you care about fair trade cocoa???? mf I saw you eating a crunch bar last week

Poor people in America used to starve to death before they had the ability to order a McDonalds meal for $50.

sorry guys but if you have to imagine that somebody with a cool truck has a tiny penis to feel better about yourself, you might be the one who's coping

legitimately why shouldn't i give all my data away? what's the worst that could happen? i get better ads? oh no...

TVP is proof god is real. Takes literally one minute to prepare. Unlimited protein. Unlimited fiber. Unlimited iron. Cheap. Awesome. Why aren’t billions eating this

The strongest counter arguments to anti natalism are: 1) that humans have the potential to eventually eradicate needless suffering and maximize goodness 2) anti natalism only even remotely sounds reasonable if you could actually choose to eradicate all present and future life in the universe, which sounds impossible. But without this ability any attempt at anti natalism wouldnt achieve anything but momentarily extinguishing what little hope there is in the universe.

50%-provisional and possibly unpopular opinion, but I’m not sure vegans should make as big a deal about vegetarian vs. vegan as they do. By all means, always tell the truth and say vegetarianism is utterly indefensible when it’s apt, but idk if we should go out of our way to do so. (I’d be very very hesitant to ever recommend actually concealing important beliefs for political expediency). I think the most important thing with converting people is the long-term goal of getting to a critical point of people who oppose animal exploitation that serious political action can be taken, and I think, like, a 20% ethical vegetarian society would get us that, and that that would be a lot easier to get than a 10% vegan society. And I think most serious potential converts—people not stupid enough to base their decision on whether the animal rights people seem too purist—will have eating eggs & dairy weigh on their conscience heavily, and they’ll find their own way. There are no sane moral grounds for vegetarianism that don’t also imply you should be vegan, for sure, but as far as convincing people to actually do something goes, being vegetarian is a fair bit easier, and people perceive there as being a big difference between eating someone’s corpse and some product that (they think) just happens to be made with a lot of abuse. Idk. I probably wouldn’t go so far as to start saying “you should go vegetarian” instead of “you should go vegan,” since that kinda feels like a lie by omission, but maybe I shouldn’t go out of my way to press on the distinction.

“Factory farming is an atrocity like no other that humanity has committed.” “Dude, you’re crazy, valuing animals the same as humans.” “Okay, let’s say I value humans 100x more. Factory farming is still the worst atrocity ever.” “No I mean like, you value animals infinitesimally. Anything else is crazy”
