Yep, Social Media Manipulation 101

I've seen an increasing trend of vеgаns doing this especially on lemmy

Yep, those awful vegans pushing their agenda for their own gains. Make ME aware of MY CHOICE to pay for animal abuse and torture?! Blatant manipulation!

[–] AnarchistsForKamala@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

no one is paying for animal abuse or torture

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Exactly! My ancestors didnt pay for slavery, they just wanted cotton. Everyone need cotton, right? I mean they wouldve harvested the cotton themselves, but it was way cheaper from neighboring farmers for whatever reason. That didnt concern them though, they had enough prpblems!

comparing slaves to animals is what slavers do

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Please dont twist my words. I didnt compare anything. And if I did, I would have compared animal cruelty with slavery (both as unethical acts), not animals with slaves (the recipients of cruelty).

Exactly. Thats why I am telling you to stop strawmanning.

"slaves are the same as animals" famously an argument made by good people whos opinions we should listen too

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago

Good point, but I never said they were the same, nor did I compare them. I just made an argument about passive involvement in unethical doings which some regard as normal.
