besides your total lack of specificity about ethical systems or societies in which they exist, your use of "needlessly" is doing a lot of work there. on the one hand it sets up a no-true-scotsman where you can always claim no need is great enough, but it also gives anyone challenging this claim a loophole the size of a walmart to walk through: just claim it's necessary.
i don't think you really understand the claim you made. worse, if you do, that means you're intentionally using vague language and intellectually dishonest tactics to persuade. this is called sophistry.
Im kinda done arguing with dumbasses in good faith about whether or not killing an animal is less ethical than not killing one. I'm a meat eater, I find meat delicious, and I ALSO recognise that most of the world isnt in a privileged enough position to NOT eat meat in order to fulfill their dietary needs. None of this takes away from the fact that killing is less ethical than not killiing
Abso-fucking-lutely based. Sometimes it's better to just call a dumbass, 'a dumbass' than engage with their bullshit sealioning.
stealing this
calling your interlocutors names is a great way to indicate you're done arguing in good faith, but you just came out and said it. too bad you don't seem capable of defending the claim you're making.
Nah, it just means you idiots arent worth the headache
more name-calling, but no defense for your position.
=D
No one's obligated to debate you. 🙄
I don't want a debate
