All good, across cultures tone and humour doesn’t always translate well. There is also a literacy crisis in most (all?) English speaking countries which isn’t helping. Given it is now often difficult to tell whether someone’s writing is intentionally awful, or that they were subject to a shitty education.
Carnist arguments are awful. My hope is that when you string them all together, a few people who might present them as rebuttals individually pause and notice the precarious structure they form.
Completely agreed. It sometimes amazes me how unable carnists, especially the ones who “love animals,” are to recognize their blatant hypocrisy for what it is: cringy rationalizations to justify behavior they’re unwilling to change. I’m glad at least that in leftist spaces like this, the concept of “self crit” is better understood and accepted as a good thing to do, something everyone needs to do if they have any hope of examining all the bullshit that “western culture” has ingrained into us.
(Also for the record, I wasn’t the one who reported your comment. Like i said, I was pretty sure you were being sarcastic, just not 100% certain).
