The point I’m trying to make is there are many ways to live more ethically, If you’re a vegan but fly a private jet, you don’t give a fuck about the environment, you’re just pretending you do.
You could also not be a vegan and care more about the environment than a lot of vegans.
I knew a militant vegan who removed the emissions filter from his diesel car, and tuned it to ‘roll coal’ (emit tons of smoke) because he thought it was cool.
Yeah we can agree on that one, of course cognitive dissonance is a thing so it’s ok to point it out. (I love animals but i eat meat, so I’m a perfect example)
The important thing is trying to remain civil, and looking for a discussion, rather than trying to dunk on one idea or the other (this in particular to vegans too)
Whom on Lemmy does that apply to?
Anyway, the point being made here is to make better decisions where reasonably possible. If you dive deep enough, absolutely nothing is fully ethical.
Like cleaning up your drive. You have little storage left, so you do a scan with Filelight.
Do you care about:
a) 1,000 20KiB config files
b) 40GiB pacman cache
c) 50GiB of music
You can probably just get rid of pacman cache, but with the size, you might just as well get rid of your music, no? What’s the point of removing pacman cache if your music is worse?
Fair enough,

There’s a lot of nuance

100% agree, I feel if people chill out and accept imperfection they’d get more people on their side.
Why I don’t like being left wing sometimes

reducto absurdum, I’m just trying to make a point / get a message across.
I’d be surprised if anyone here flies a private jet.
Yes there is no true way to live ethically, you will cause the death of hundreds of vibrates just by being alive.
