    Are you people capable of arguing without using false equivalencies?

    I made my point that people shouldn’t tell others what to do with their diets, and you’re here to be a perfect example of my point.

    Thanks?

    But like I told the other person doing the same thing, I don’t argue with people who bring false equivalence to a conversation to derail the meaning of my own point.

    Enjoy your evening.

        “Lets care less about who others kill?”

        What, not who. And someone choosing to eat meat has nothing to do with whether or not you care. It’s about whether or not you have the right to tell them they shouldn’t when they DIDN’T ASK YOU.

        This is a false equivalence because you’re equating something that is not equal to the argument presented.

        “Lets care less about who others spit on?”

        No one is talking about spitting on anyone, or being spit on by anyone.

        This is a false equivalence because in this discussion, animals aren’t spit, nor are they being spit on, nor are they spitting on anyone. In addition to it being false equivalence- it’s downright nonsense.

        “Lets care less about when your neighbors blast their music at 130dB”

        No one is talking about music. Animals aren’t music. Animals aren’t playing music. No one is playing music. My neighbors have nothing to do with this.

        This is a false equivalence because you’re equating something that is not equal to the argument presented.

        And if none of these are false equivalencies. Then I’m the very least- they’re ALL straw men. And that’s by definition- arguing in bad faith. Which is apparently, the only way you can discuss the topic.

        Blocking you now as I have wasted enough of my time, but trust me when I say this- I am now no longer neutral on the topic. I will no longer waste my time defending veganism in any conversation that illustrates them in a negative light as you all have proven you don’t deserve the time wasted in doing so.
