Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

[ddraig]

"the blacks" wtf?! fucks sake

PaoloSanchez sort out your post!

Why are you making such a big fuss over me referring to MLK/Malcom X as an illustration of the difference between different types of activism? I'm perfectly happy with it and would happily use similar examples in the future if I felt it appropriate. I get the impression that it wouldn't matter what form of words or examples I used, you and your buddies would find a way of taking offence, and a rather convenient diversion away from the topic. I suppose it saves the energy involved in trying to construct a half decent argument of your own.

I'm assuming that you are a white person pretending to be outraged oh behalf of the blacks. Right?

Wow.

"the blacks"

I rest my case.

lol, What case? You don't have one.

Are you a white person or not? A yes or no answer would suffice.

Are you really this fucking stupid?

I have pale skin, if that's what you're asking.

Anything that puts me in agreement with ddraig on a vegan thread must be bad

Is English your first language PaoloSanchez ? You've certainly not struck me as racist before so I assume this is accidental. Are you not aware that referring to "the blacks" is totally out of order?

 

[PaoloSanchez]

I have pale skin, if that's what you're asking.

I'll take that as a yes then.

There's a reason that I've asked you that question, which I will elaborate on after I've had my lunch.

Not sure what's so wrong with the term 'carnist', though.

Did you not know that it after being filtered through this thread that word went from benign the most offensive word known to mankind. #trueStory

I'm making a fuss over the Malcolm X/MLK comparison because black people and white people are both, well... People. They can work together as equals.

Even if I were to accept the notion of Animal Liberation as being valid, they can never be in an equal partnership with humans.

To me that's a big difference, not something that can be just brushed under the carpet.

 

[PaoloSanchez]

I'm still having my lunch, be patient...

I might be missing some connotations. I was just going by the Wikipedia definition because I had not seen it before.

Talking of connotations, I see you're back from lunch...

Ah, I thought Paulo was maybe coming round to this point. That the solution has to be a cow version of Malcolm X to lead the bovine massive in revolt against their oppressors.
This might take a certain degree of genetic engineering, which is sometimes a no-no, but ends and means etc.

 

[8ball]

he'll go vegan at some point if he takes his long distance cycling seriously, if only to keep up with others
see Matthew Prithcard

Obviously with some nutritional assistance in terms of refined proteins and chemical supplements...

Not quite...I'm a slow eater, I'm busy chewing my cud.

Dhal and roti innit. I'm typing with my elbows.

Nice as that sounds, it comes over like you don't much care about people's sensitivities regarding racist terms considering you've managed 4 posts which you have prioritised over either an edit or an explanation.

 

[ddraig]

not acceptable
this shit isn't funny or a game, you've managed to post a couple of times when "having lunch" so you can edit your stupid fucking post

PS inadvertently illustrates the wrongness of his comparison with his crass racism. The offensive nature of racism is due to the fact that it is an attitude towards human beings. You can't demonstrate an equivalent form of ignorance towards cows.

Maybe elevating the moral status of farm animals and seeing humans as the bad guys in the moral play does something to your conception of the moral status of humans.
Cognitive dissonance can work both ways.

"obviously"??
evidence?
do you mean using vegan food efficiently and vegan huel??

Yes, "obviously".

I was expecting refined brown rice protein shakes (the protein is biochemically extracted from the rice) or similar, since there is fairly good evidence (as these things go) that brown rice protein works for athletic performance near-as-dammit as well as animal protein.

But refined brown rice protein is a major constituent of Huel, so you gave me half the answer yourself.

And if he's not taking creatine in some form I'll eat my trousers (I believe vegans are fine with the ingestion of petroleum-derived chemicals - it's not like anyone is going to kill more dinosaurs to top up the supply). Bog standard supplement for athletic types.
