Big horse-fucking discourse, apparently. Vegan debate nerds demand formal logical proofs before accepting that horse-fucking is bad.

Abolish debate club.

Unpictured (note: this person is a lib): Never thought I'd live to see the day where some lefties would be making biological essentialist arguments in regards to veganism.

I discovered this just now and it brightened my morning and I wanted to share. It's rare to see such a pure little meltdown in the wild like this, especially after May!

    They're trying to do the Socratic method by imploring people to examine why they're against one but not the other, hoping to make them realize that they hold contradictory values and thus nudging them towards veganism.

    It can be an effective argument, but of course this is Twitter so any interaction is going to turn to shit because the platform is inherently hostile to productive discussions.

      But it's not going to be an effective argument because it goes straight for the jugular that eating meat is morally equivalent to horse fucking. Most people are going to be instantly pissed off and leave the conversation, or get angry and leave a shitty reply.

      It's the same shit edgy internet atheists do by instantly saying that religious people worship a genocidal monster or whatever. It's not a good argument. These people also say they're using the socratic method to cover for being an asshole. Not every edgy internet argument or equivalence is "the socratic method"

        These are good points to remember. No one cares about how technically correct your argument is -- if it sounds silly, invites ridicule, or even just annoys your target audience, you aren't going to accomplish very much.

          Yeah pretty much. If they're just doing this to get a cheap dunk on meat eaters, have it at it. We do that type of thing on here all the time, making fun of libs and chuds in absurd ways. It's funny, it's cool. But if anyone thinks that this is going to actually be a convincing argument, it's not. No one will take you seriously like this.

        I agree with that, debate club sucks because it frames a discussion as a game one can win, instead of a tool one uses to achieve understanding.
