For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.
My stance on eating meat is kind of the exact opposite of what I was asking here. It’s one of the two things I continue doing despite not being able to morally justify it. Piracy is the other one.
both are easy to justify. humans share (food, culture, stories, songs, tools, etc). piracy is natural. laws that prohibit it are immoral.
as for eating meat, there is cost, convenience, and culture: for many people eschewing meat simply isn’t reasonable given their circumstances.
Vegan diets are ~16% cheaper on average in the US but even if they weren’t, a dollar a day does not justify killing someone.
can you substantiate this?
no one is killing anyone for meat
