This tbh. The criticism of how the left behaves in aggregate is probably valid.

It's one of the reasons the left is less politically successful, this kind of excessive 'call-out' behaviour tends to cause groups to endlessly divide and fight one another (at least it's consistent)

The right on the other hand tends to form ranks, far more hypocritical but better for mobilising large groups of people behind a common cause.

Bakersfield cops use a cat as target practice and killed it. But it's okay they've been disciplined.

I think the psychopathy here comes from the desire to commit this violence, the meat industry abstracts the violence away from the consumer, so I don't think the argument holds.

Which is to say vegetarianism would be more prevalent if the consumer had to hold the bolt gun themselves ( that and more people would become desensitized to this kind of animal cruelty )

The truth...

While this is undoubtedly true, I think OPs post misses the point for a more depressing reason, people generally believe what they're told to believe, thinking about things is hard and most people are exhausted.

It's not all that different to a fax machine, the way it's described in st.

You just need to be able to accurately scan and place atoms to achieve the 'teleportation' being discussed here.

Thinking about it even that is probably not possible, as you'd need to know both the position and momentum and state of every sub atomic particle in the body.

For sure, all very emotive arguments morally I agree with the sentiment.

My rebuttal was to you ascribing psychopathy to the general public because they eat meat, I expect you'll see a much lower than average score for empathy across slaughterhouse workers ( and probably more psychopathy as well )

Tbh, it would be interesting to see what happened to meat consumption if we introduced laws mandating abattoir imagery on meat packaging.
