I don’t think you understand people or the United States very well. What you are suggesting is to make a 2nd Virginia Tech incident happen. They’ve already started brutally dismantling protests. To resist is to commit suicide.

When they get a whiff of protestors carrying weapons, we will have a tiananmen square on our hands. The media will watch, and nothing will happen. Again.

Imo, Kant’s principles don’t really apply in this scenario, the Categorical Imperative applies to human-to-human treatment. Kant’s primary principle is act as such it would become universal law. Animal consumption is already a universal law.

Murder (of a human) is wrong because when applied universally, then society collapses. Theft is wrong because when applied universally, the right of property, and therefore society, collapses.

Animal consumption doesn’t cause societal collapse.

Thoughts?

Look, I don’t disagree with your point necessarily, but you’re not winning over literally anyone in this thread. It’s just not happening.

Nobody ever has been convinced that dairy is rape and meat is murder by some Lemmy user saying “dairy is rape” and following up with “because it is”.

Most obviously, your primary argument is consequentialism, which many people just don’t see as a valid form of ethics. Many people subscribe to deontology instead, and so they don’t see it as rape because they are not obtaining sexual gratification from artificial insemination or drinking milk.
