75% of the anti-piracy discussions I see rarely blame companies like Nintendo or Disney and always try to talk about how piracy is immoral, and you should feel "dirty" for doing it. My question is why do people seem to hate those who pirate more than the bad practices of mega-corporations or the fact that they don't want to preserve their media?

they have the exact same capacity as me to understand why veganism is a moral obligation.

This is a "begging the question" logical fallacy

this is an ad hominem and, as I stated, a thought-terminating cliché.

veganism is a moral obligation

carnism comes with victims

is it just cope?

What thoughtful discussion arises from someone repeatedly telling you that they're morally superior to you for choosing one specific diet over another? You're projecting here.

I have no issues with someone being vegan, but I take issue with self-righteous people such as yourself who can't help but talk about how superior their choices are.

I have no issues with someone not supporting animal torture, but I take issue with self-righteous people such as yourself who can't help but talk about how superior their choices are.

There is no functional difference between your original text and my bolded replacement. To be a carnist is to, through your actions, support animal torture.

Hmm. Claims to not support animal torture yet joins hexbear and tortures all of us mammals on Lemmy any time one of you "writes" a comment. I'm seeing a disconnect in your reasoning here...

This is such a shitty "joke". Fucking hell. I hope you experience even half of the suffering a dairy cow experiences during their life. You won't, because the world isn't fair, but if I could imprison you and exploit your reproductive system until you're too old and worn out to be worthwhile and then kill you, I would do so.
