does normicattle actually think that because something is underwater it isn't an animal?
>>
>>5050027
Yes.
I've been asked so many times if I eat fish if I mention I'm vegetarian, they genuinely think fish are swimming vegetables.
Not to mention the many self proclaimed vegetarians I've met snacking down on shrimp or pollock-based imitation crab
>>
I once met a woman who claimed to be vegan but ate chicken and her reasoning was "chickens aren't animals, they are birds"
>>
>>5050042
According to plato, if you shave them they become human.
>>
>>5050042
Out of all the animals to draw a line at, birds was the last one I expected to be seen as expendable from an ethical standpoint.
>>
>>5050046
"animals" as a group has no inherent ethical relevance whatsoever so the vast majority of them are expendable so long as expending them benefits mankind.

there are sensible ethical arguments against factory farming and animal torture because these ultimately have consequences for mankind, and not good ones, and sensible arguments against the overconsumption of meat (especially red meat) for it makes the individual less healthy and has consequences for the wider world, but none against eating animals in itself.

veganism you see, is not a philosophy, because it can not be one. there is no consistent philosophy that supports it without either 1: denying that human life has supreme value and therefore being fundamentally evil (only internet vegans do this because this is only an acceptable stance on the internet) or 2: delving into religious bullshit about karma, soul cleanliness, and reincarnation and therefore being a pajeet (and indeed, veganism associated malnutrition has blighted india with an epidemic of low intelligence)

veganism is a virtue signaling activity.

it does not matter how sense veganism makes. it matters how many idiots admire you more for denying yourself tasty, nutritious food and pretending to care about things that don't affect you - or anyone. a vegan can be as nonsensical upon close inspection as they want as long as they are scoring brownie points with the people they wanted brownie points from.

>>5050011
"loving animals" as a whole is impossible without being evil or an idiot, unless the love is meant as admiration of nature's machinations rather than actual care for things like ticks
>>
>>5050031
I know one girl who says "vegetarian" to most people because if you say "pescatarian" you'll get a confused stare at best
Also, asking for a meal without meat in the Balkans will often unironically yield chicken

>veganism is a virtue signaling activity
Not always but I get where you're coming from. Of the vegans I've met, I've only known four who don't seem to do it for brownie points.
I spoke with one of the vegans who isn't a virtue signaler to the point that I'd known her for years before I learned she was vegan (and that was only because my wife invited her to dinner) and outta curiosity, asked if vegans can keep hens as pets. She said yes. Then asked her if she knew that hens, regardless if what you do, will lay eggs in much the same way women get periods. She looked puzzled a minute then said that she did not know that but that it makes sense. I also told her that most laying breeds of hen don't go broody and after explaining that it just means "they don't care about their eggs). So I asked if it would be okay for a vegan with a pet hen to eat the eggs.
She said she wouldn't, but that she doesn't see anything wrong with it in that situation. If she had a hen, she'd donate the eggs when she could.
That's a good vegan.
A faggot vegan said calling the hen a pet implies entertainment slavery and that she's an animal companion rather than a pet. This twat also said that reading the egg would be symbolic of violence against chickens. I said "not eating it or at least giving it to someone who would is proof that you give more of a fuck about non-existent bird-violence than you do very real people, which makes you a cunt".

Holy shit, you're doing the autistic fucking factoid pop science child thing of mixing up the common use meaning of a word with the scientific technical-term meaning of a word.
Every single fucking time it's pseudo-intellectual morons or low-ranking university students saying that stupid idiotic shit.

"but why don't you like spiders! They're animals too!"
No fucktard. "Animals in common usage means mammals and maybe birds"
In scientific usage Animalia includes Nematodes, Starfish, arthropods etc...

Same shit with the "dophins aren't whales"
In common language usage that's right. In scientific usage dolphins are whales.

There's a billion examples of this shit and when somebody does it I instantly know they are an autistic psychopath or some sort of leftist factoid, "I fucking love science!" idiot.

Indians who call themselves vegetarians actually eat fish...
That isn't new either. Hindus have always been like that. So the largest vegetarian population of the world has always eaten fish.
Also "Veganism" was invented relatively recently in Britain. Both the word and ideology. There's nothing ancient about it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Watson
It became a movement in the 1940's.
Even the Jain of India would eat grubs and insects present in their grain.
So the people you're criticizing are actually more correct that you.
The whole reason veganism even formed was to disassociate from vegetarians at the time who all ate fish, insects and animal products like milk, eggs etc.

No they fucking don't, retard. Fuck yourself on a rusty rake.
Vegetarian in India means lactovegetarian. The only modifier to this otherwise steadfast rule is a term that doesn't seem to exist in proper civilisations: eggetarian. Those are Indian lactovegetarians who also eat eggs, which are otherwise considered meat according to Hindu dietary understanding.
People who eat fish wouldn't call themselves vegetarian in India and the term pescetarian is unknown there afaik
t. European guy married to a Marathi Hindu woman
And no, Jains do not eat grubs and insects, you mouthbreathing inbred. They famously sweep the path in front of them to avoid accidentally stepping on bugs. They won't even eat root vegetables because they don't want to disturb microbes living in the soil. Some of these crazy fucks wear facemasks to avoid accidentally breathing in a bug.
This is like saying "yeah, well Iranian Muslims all love the absolute fuck out of a good ham and a bottle of Jack at Easter." It's just mind-bogglingly wrong all around, Jesus fucking Christ.

You can lie about your identity and your imaginary Hindu wife another time fed anon. The fact that you can ban me after telling me to kill my family without getting banned yourself is the ultimate proof that 4chan is nothing more than a fed honeypot.
Also no anon. Most Indians eat meat...

Well most do eat meat. The 2019 Indian census itself says 77% of Indians eat Fish, or some other form of meat, (mostly chicken).
So you're wrong.
You didn't even read the infographic I provided.
You can't even read.
You are dumb.
You are a liar.
You are a fed.

>I don't own enough eyeliner (or any, in fact) to be JD Nonce.
Probably also a lie. You likely use five different brands of eyeliner.

Meat eating pajeet here. There are a lot of pescatarians here (my mom, grandma) but not too many people know that terminology so they just say "vegetarian who eats fish" instead. Definitely different from actual vegetarians though.

Tb h I don't get the reasoning behind it. My pescatarian family members day it's because they don't wanna contribute to the suffering animals or something gay like that. I mean, do these people think fish can't feel pain or what?
