Do you not understand what the role of animals is in all this?

Ever since the invention of agriculture, we have had the capacity to grow more food than humanity can consume. But agriculture is business, and business must grow. So when that limit is hit, we have to find ways to create artificial scarcities to continue growth. We do that by refining plant products into increasingly scarce luxury products. Animals are treated as nothing more than machines for refining save, cheap, sustainable plant products into toxic, polluting, addictive and unsustainable animal products.

Back to your premise: we are not dealing with a lack of resources!!! We are drowning in food!!! We are dealing with nothing more than greed and inhuman cruelty.

I don't know whether you are saying, "this was captivating," or "this was bullshit."

it's devoid of facts. it's just a story you tell to justify your position.

Oh, you're that guy. I think this starkly demonstrates how facile your beliefs about communism are, if your name isn't meant to be taken ironically.

I'll note that you are afraid to directly argue with anything I said, because doing so would leave your own arguments open to defeat. So you just throw shit. Ooo-ooo-ooo, eee-eee-eee, that's you.

this is just insults and insinuation. you still haven't given any real facts.

Neither have you, hypocrite!

it’s devoid of facts. it’s just a story you tell to justify your position.

Would you care to amend that or are you just here to drown out actual discussion with cheap bad faith speech? Or is it genuinely your opinion that humanity cannot use agriculture to feed itself?!

agriculture is business, and business must grow. So when that limit is hit, we have to find ways to create artificial scarcities to continue growth.

it’s devoid of facts. it’s just a story you tell to justify your position.

Would you care to address this or is it just willful denial and abandonment of your own fucking beliefs and values?

We do that by refining plant products into increasingly scarce luxury products. Animals are treated as nothing more than machines

it’s devoid of facts. it’s just a story you tell to justify your position.

Would you like to join us here in FUCKING REALITY or are you going to continue to carry water for FUCKING ATROCITY? Like, I get you're up in your feels. Me too, we're discussing mass rape, mass murder, mass enslavement, and further forms of atrocity visited on TENS OF BILLIONS of vulnerable individuals. But buddy, you're having the wrong fucking feels. You're having the feels a rapist has about their victims.
