For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.
I don’t fly, I don’t eat meat, I would love both if they could be done ethically but they can’t. I don’t frame that as preference versus ethics, because it is my preference to put my principles over ignorant pleasures. These are luxuries that I can do without (and so can anyone else).
I’d argue eating meat can be done ethically though. Hunting is one way and growing your own farm animals is another.
How is killing for pleasure ethically, when you just could not do that?
Getting shot by a hunter is the quickest and most ethical way for an old wild buck to die. The alternative is to either starve to death or get ripped into pieces by a predator.
You’re killing plants too remember
