All it took was a Taiwanese billionaire tech mogul sticking his dick where he shouldn’t. At this point, im willing to crowdfund his prostitutes.

    It’s crazy how after countless controversies, what finally takes them down is infidelity. Like the Klein guy recently.

        A patient choosing to end their life is more morally wrong than the death penalty? This must be the conservative “they deserve it” mentality.

        The problem with that is morality isn’t binary. People will find some things more wrong than others without ever considering them moral.

        Eating meat not being a moral issue according to a majority of people and only 4% of people condemning it? Thanks, ignorance and cognitive dissonance!

                Well how deep do you want to go?

                Because one way or another, people seeing “eating meat” as not being a moral issue either don’t understand the moral implications of it (industrial livestock farming for the most part) or don’t care about it, and I suspect cognitive dissonance is doing the heavy lifting in the latter case.

                  I was going to become vegan if I couldn’t handle personally raising and slaughtering an animal. Turns out… I can. The first time I killed a goat, one of the other goats gave birth to twins at the same time. I had a moment… individuals die, but the herd persists. These goats eat a bunch of naturally occurring grass and weeds. I can totally ice one and turn him into tacos a couple of times a year and it’s pretty much environmentally neutral. Absolutely morally neutral

                    You are just contributing to my point. See all the conditions you needed to have net to consider eating meat morally neutral there? Yeah, doesn’t apply to industrial livestock farming.

                    I think the issue is more about the quality of life before the slaughtering. Your hand raised goats probably have a pretty good life, goat wise.

                  People eat meat because they don’t value animal lives like human lives. You can make a moral argument against that, and you’d have a good case for it, but it’s not cognitively dissonant.

                    Yep, but I have yet to find a single person that would way that eating meat is not a moral issue if they know about industrial livestock farming.

                  They don’t care. I don’t think you are wrong for caring, just that you aren’t being realistic. The life of a chicken has little value for 99% of people.

                    Everyone has a line between life that’s of value and life that isn’t. For some people chickens aren’t on the same side as them, for some nothing is on the same side as them. There are extremes that are easy to consider insane or immoral, but things start to get different shades of grey once you get away from the edges.

                  Aren’t you the guy that criticises parents for feeding their children meat despite having no kids or any background in pediatric nutrition?

                    What? Nope. Even if I was, what is your point? What if pediatric nutritionists told you children don’t need meat to be fit and healthy?
