Specifically using the word "nope" to open a sentence in response to another comment that communicates empathy is inflammatory. This is because it is dismissive of the other individual's feelings/opinions.
I’m all for personal agency, so eat whatever you want, but it irks me when carnivores are admonished.
Nobody chooses the genes they are born with. Its a discrimination at its best. We stopped slavery probably 50 years ago. At past, I bet there were people like "Nope! I am not going to do menial job. Its my personal agent, so do whatever you want....".
If you believe all living things are conscience to an extent, like I do, then why do we draw the line at animals.
I’ve made peace with the idea that othering things have to suffer and die in order to provide for for me to survive.
That’s not to say we can’t try to reduce the suffering, but ultimately existence is suffering.
