If you throw a chunk of wood at the wall, and a chunk of glass at the wall, and equalize all outside ['environmental'] variables, you still produce a unequal result. Why? Because wood is not glass. The genetic material is different.

The way you interact with a cat vs a dog is [and should be] different, because the genes you are interacting with are distinct. They respond differently to the same action. And for the same reason, the way you treat men and women [or races] should be discriminatory as well.

"Our race has many superior qualities compared to other races" Yes.. It is called genetic adaptability, it is what makes races exist otherwise there wouldn't be different races to begin with. If there are differences by definition you will have superior [or inferior] qualities.

@Oddbase_ @lockjacket P does not imply Q Q does not imply P Therefore, P means something that Q doesn't. [And vice versa] Cats are not dogs. Dogs are not cats. Cats mean something dogs do not. That's just logic. Liberals/conservatives need to be re-educated 😂

@Oddbase_ @lockjacket The fact that there are distinct races by definition implies an exclusive category; it is something by its very design. Neoliberals/conservatives are the only retards on this subject, both the radical left and the radical right are [correctly] arguing.

The modern political landscape is just the far left and far right fighting over race like it’s important and not completely meaningless. Release me from this hell.

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck Then don't mention the faculties as a variable if they aren't significant. You're wasting my time. Humans and cows share about 80% of their genes, so please point to me the exclusively animal genes within the 20% that if present in a human would justify murder.

@DetectiveXavier @sibaburck And an infant or severely disabled person still has full moral worth because they are members of the human family, the value of their llives aren't contingent on having certain faculties.

Can a leftist explain to me how we create a vegan world without individuals voluntarily giving up meat?

@DrKarlynB Very sweet and wholesome. Such a rare thing to establish a real personal connection with someone like this. BTW you look great here Karlyn!

Fun fact: I met my husband 15 years ago today when he showed up at at my place as a mover to move me into the home I just bought. He lifted up heavy furniture to impress me. A few weeks later, we went on our first date. A few months after that, we moved in together. A few months after that, we were married. This was the first picture we took after we moved in together. 💜 Victor

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck I love how it always comes down to the same low IQ trash, but you all pretend like it's this elaborate thing initially. When broken down, it really comes down to you being an immoral degenerate that wants to slaughter, or rather, is allowed to by the current state/system.

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck There are plenty of people that can't pontificate his/her purpose in life, that certainly doesn't mean it's ethical to murder them. I'm isolating the variable/s/ you provide for murder to show you it's not a valid reason to kill someone.

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck There are some anti-natalists in the movement, and so I can see why some 'vegans' would propose something like that.

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck I'm unsure how this is related to the discussion at hand but no. Mass slaughter [or enslavement] of animals is in direct violation of veganism so those must be people attempting to hijack the movement for other purposes.

@glimmeringgash @ma1ybe And in fact, you instinctually understand it's the case, which is why you used it as a pejorative. As you should. It's a disordered act. Just on a biological level we know that for certain.

@glimmeringgash @ma1ybe No, but I've certainly felt upset in my lifetime. However, that doesn't make harming others or myself a moral act, or something that should be encouraged. We're all sinners, so we all have our own shortcomings. For some, it's sexual dysfunction. I hope they get past it.

Straight people: "OMG don't push all this LGBT stuff on your children! They're children!" Also straight people:

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck It's kind of abnormal to fight /this/ hard and jump /so/ many mental hoops, just to justify your genocidal habits when you can just not. It's not that hard at all not to kill others. It doesn't really take much effort from me personally, and I'm kind of unimpressive.

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck There are plenty of humans that cannot conceptualize death abstractly, so using your logic we can genocide several categories of humans. And additionally, it's not ethical to kill the elderly just because they will likely pass in a couple of years anyways.

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck These are all poor rationalizations that lead to logical contradiction, which is why you're coming up with them after the fact. Your real reason is animal DNA, which is why I asked for the specific genomes you think we have a right to eradicate.

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck There are humans with a lower capacity for sentience and consciousness; surely you're not okay with killing the disabled or those with minimal brain function?

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck Can you point me to the specific genes that justify murder?

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck What is the difference exactly? Simply acquiring nourishment from x, does not justify killing x, so you can remove that. Your real reason as you state it, is that animals do not have the right to life because they are born with animal DNA.

@weabookenpeitai @sibaburck I'm in agreement that there are distinctions between humans and animals, and in fact between races and sexes, and that some lives are worth more and deserve preferential treatment; I'm saying none of the distinctions justify murder.

@DetectiveXavier @sibaburck As I've explained, human beings have a unique moral status and dignity, and their lives are intrinsically worth more than animal lives because they have rational personhood, so animals can legitimately be used for human flourishing.
