It's beacuse a mutation of covid was discovered in minks. I'm sure they have already been added to the list of Victims of Communism. Pure hellworld. Fuck everyone who wears fur coats.

You are one of the most aggravating people I’ve tried to have a discussion with.
That quote in context is literally just me stating I am neurodivergent and expressing my confusion that so many people seem to not think very deeply about ethics in general. That’s it!
Most people do not seem to have an INTERNALLY CONSISTENT moral framework for non-human animals and that seems strange to me, as a person who is neurodivergent. This is the only thing I’ve been trying to discuss, it’s almost the dozenth time I’ve explained this and I truly don’t get why you insist on misrepresenting me.
Or is “why don’t most people think critically about ethics?” just an inherently offensive question to you? Am I not supposed to try and understand neurotypical people? Do you truly think that having internally consistent ethics is an unreasonable thing to expect of anyone and that even mentioning it is judgmental and insulting?
I just don’t get what your problem is. You’re clearly upset about something but nothing you say has anything to do with my questions so I’m just confused.
No fucking shit, Sherlock. I have not once said anyone should consider other humans and other animals as having the same moral importance as other humans or expressed any confusion over why they don’t. Where are you getting this shit from?
My entire point is that most people don’t seem to have INTERNALLY CONSISTENT ethics, whether they eat animals or not, and it doesn’t seem to bother them. That seems odd to me, because I don’t think that way. That’s it! Am I wrong for not understanding neurotypical people? Am I being offensive just by asking why other people think differently than I do?
contradictions are the stuff of life... nobody is internally or externally consistent on pretty much anything, that's kind of where we're at.
meateaters aren't all "neurotypical", and neurodivergence & ASD don't enable individuals to have some broad all-encompassing secret knowledge of ethics. it's not a smooth or straight ideological surface either way
perfection isn't necessarily attainable either materially or idealistically... I don't think we should hold anybody to these inconsistent & personally-charged standards, and self-criticism is always preferable. But in my view, praying for animals in factory farms is as useless & as misplaced as shaming meateaters or having a big confusion over them being too "normal"
“Things just are the way they are because that’s how things are so you shouldn’t even imply we should try to do differently.” Amazing analysis. Why even have ethics or care about morality at all?
You keep insisting on correcting me on things I’ve never said and don’t believe, and it’s insulting at this point. Where did I ever say that only neurotypical people eat meat? Where did I say that I or any other neurodivergent person has a better understanding of ethics than anyone else? Why do you keep responding to things I’m not saying? At this point I’m not even expecting answers, this is purely rhetorical.
I can’t help feeling anxiety around having good ethics so that I can try and act morally, and that makes me think about it constantly. I’m not more ethical or more intelligent or more wise than other people, I just can’t help obsessively thinking about it and it kinda confuses me that so many other people don’t, even though they talk about morality constantly and consider it to be of incredible importance in their lives.
No shit! No one on earth would disagree with this! And that’s why I haven’t expected anyone to be perfect! You’ve just convinced yourself that I’m a self-righteous moral scold and at this point I think it’s actually impossible to change your mind no matter what I say.
I’m not holding people to my own ethical standards or any others! I’m asking why they don’t think through their own ethics! Why do you keep ignoring what I’m saying to lecture me on irrelevant shit?
God, you’re such a fucking asshole. Yeah, I’m just so fucking confused because other people are normal and I’m not.
I’m done with this discussion.
You're obviously not done with the discussion because you keep responding in these drawn-out ways. Also, people aren't making incorrect & personally damning moral judgments just because they eat meat. Additionally, I don't think you need to fret just because you have the impression that others don't think about food ethics as carefully as you do.
But that's only because I don't think it's constructive toward these other ends, you can of course think whatever you want.
I didn't say you were a moral scold, but you are attempting to say that people aren't as morally sanctified or consistent as yourself just because they have different lifestyle choices than you do.
I admit that no one is "justified" in eating meat, but they don't have to pass our litmus tests in order for us to consider them "morally consistent"... and I don't think that we are justified in assuming others haven't made these careful determinations for themselves
