      I guess it appears in the local Lemmy.world feed which is followed by much more random people and a bigger audience, while solarpunks are mostly people who care about ecology.

      Slrpnk.net for a happy safe place and Lemmy.world to fight and shitpost with carnists.

      The second one can be useful in certain contexts, after all we have a message to share with the world, even if we get shunned by it.

        No, this happens on slrpnk as well, but the mods actually ban serial downvoters and remove the ragebait comments.

        But yes, .world has a larger base. Still, instead of blocking this community, carnists just try to bash and deliberately downvote every post.

      I didn’t follow anything. This appears in my page.

      But I think it is a silly saying. If I eat meat, then I might as well kick every dog I see in the street and shoot BBs at cats, because I am already an abuser anyway?

        Is it more cruel to kick a dog or to cut its throat?

        To be fair, it’s culturally very normalized to just buy meat and not think about how the animal was treated at all. But I also think people who are genuinely opposed to animal cruelty would agree that cutting their throats is a very cruel thing to do (aside from the treatment on factory farms).

        Meat eaters usually lie somewhere between

        • “I’ve never thought about how the animals I eat were treated”
        • “I’d rather not support that but I’ve not managed to break the habit yet”
        • “I’m fine with it if I don’t have to see it”
        • “I don’t care”

        The first two aren’t animal abusers imo, but the last two are.

        Yeeehaw fellow meat eater, wanna go murder some endangered species for our cannibalistic glee? I got plenty spare space on my monster truck once I took those filthy seabelts and pollution filters off.
