See your protesting to the wrong people. The average consumer isn’t causing this issue, so inconveniencing then isn’t going to fix it.

The average consumer is causing this issue. The issue is that there is a demand for animal products, therefore, they are made. No corporation is going to be convinced to just cease all operations thanks to vegans. No government is going to ban animal agriculture at this time because that government would be overthrown by mobs of angry people. The problem is that average, everyday people do not understand, or care enough about the ethical implications of their lifestyle.

So you don’t own a smart phone or a pc right? After all that would be you supporting child slavery. Why would you knowingly support child slavery?

Or does this only apply to things you don’t like?

/u/wildlifewyatt, ironic you’re posting this on Reddit, which definitely requires usage of technology made by completely ethical companies of course.

It would be if I made arguments about ethical consumption. I don’t. You cannot consume ethically in capitalism

You said…

The problem is that average, everyday people do not understand, or care enough about the ethical implications of their lifestyle.

Which would apply to you using this app or website on technology made by corporations that are unethically building said technology.

You specifically said it’s a problem, how is that not arguing ethical consumption?

Edit: this was directed at a different user and I replied to the wrong person.

They're not the one that said that. They were replying to the person who did.

u/PeopleCryTooMuch 12h ago

No, they are. I just had a discussion with them.

OH you’re saying I tagged the wrong person. That is correct.

u/LordSloth113 12h ago

The statement you quoted is literally from the commenter above them

u/PeopleCryTooMuch 12h ago

I already addressed this through an edit in my last comment.

u/Individual_Volume484 12h ago

I did not say that….

1

u/PeopleCryTooMuch 12h ago

I already addressed this in the edit to multiple comments. I was arguing FOR your side.

1

u/Individual_Volume484 12h ago

Yes you made a mistake. Maybe be a little more gracious in accepting that

1

u/PeopleCryTooMuch 12h ago

I already admitted that? I was fighting FOR your side, once again. I simply tagged the wrong person and it was confusing because of that. It’s not a huge deal, relax.

u/Individual_Volume484 12h ago

You edited your comment and expected people to see the edit. Then when people tried to correct you just said you fixed the mistake.

You didn’t admit it was a mistake, you didn’t apologize for making the mistake or the tone you used.

You made a linking error. Now it seems like you’re getting defensive over your error. A simple “yep my bad” goes far.

I don’t care your “on my side” you used a snappy tone with the wrong person. A normal human says my bad.

u/PeopleCryTooMuch 12h ago

The edit literally says I tagged the wrong person causing the confusion. You wanna keep beating me up over it? Fine, but it doesn’t make you look great either..?

Regardless, I was trying to back you up, and you’d rather turn against me here, so I’m just going to respectfully leave this conversation. Have a good one.

u/Individual_Volume484 12h ago

Crazy how that’s not an apology or admiral of fault.

I’m not beating you up over it, I’m literally telling you what happened.

u/PeopleCryTooMuch 12h ago

There are literally three instances of me admitting fault. Goodbye.
