The way I see it is that if I can get away with depriving myself of meat, I'll do it. If I lived in the desert like Jesus I'd eat goats too, but I was blessed with a climate and economy that allows me to give up meat without starving. I like nature and animals so I give it up. If I'll be a little weaker than someone who's high on protein all the time, it's fine. I don't think any of this goes against a Christian view of creation. I know that St. Francis was probably not vegetarian because he ate offerings, but as I said, I'm in a position where I can get away with it.

veganism is an incoherent response to factory farming

[Anonymous No.19398417]

>>19398391
I never said anything about veganism. Yes it is an incoherent response and it's largely being used either to get people to buy branded shit, psychopaths to virtue signal and so on, as is Christianity itself these days, but the sentiment is fundamentally a good one. Vegans at least in theory advocate for doing whatever is possible. Everyone on this board especially seems to be hyper-aware of psyops yet when it comes to vegans they are extremely biased because if you look at the media, it's always and only the crazy nutcase vegans who are selected as poster boys for the movement. There's a veritable media campaign against vegans and generally any people who are geared toward ethical vegetarianism. On the other hand, people who "save" dogs from European research centers are portrayed as heroes while the reality of this is simply that the research center is moved to China or India where the animals are treated 10 times as cruelly. If we kept animal experimentation in the West for Western purposes you could at least trust that they'd follow the regulations. It's like people completely turn their brains off when it comes to animal ethics and the reason for this is that they don't thave any ethics, not even toward human beings, but it's way easier to posture about human facing ethics. If you can't have empathy for an animal you can't have empathy for people. It's not a switch off thing.

What's ironic is that these are the same people who post the "early Christian" infographic while ignoring that half the people in it were fasting all year long and were explicitly vegetarian on ethical grounds. This argument ironically made me realize how foul Protestantism is, it's utilitarian religion.

>You're shifting the goalpost now.
I understand why you'd say this but I think the issue of modern animal ethics has very much to do with the overpopulation and mass consumption and hedonism that plague the world today. Modern vegetarianism transcends the simple idea that "killing" is wrong because animal exploitation is on such a level that it's not just killing but sadistic torture inflicted on a gigantic scale. Billions of animals are tortured to satisfy largely unnecessary need, there's nobody that is going to starve if we renounce factory farming. Meat is thrown away because giving subsidies to the meat industry matters more than ethics. People here lament so much about nihilism but the animal ethics issue is directly tied to it and yet they fully approve of it because - again - the complaints are largely selfish, because this is how nihilistic hedonists think.
Generally speaking human beings are disgusting chimps and there's nothing you can do about it, but when they LARP as having selective ethics it really grinds my gears. One of the main characteristics of Jesus is that he absolutely BTFOd hypocrites, and rightly so because hypocrisy is possibly the worst vice a human can have.

literally how is eating plants much better than meat (ignoring factory farming, more hunting/husbandry). If you put animals above plants you've already created a hierarchy of life. From there it's easy to just put humans on top.

The hierarchy should be based on how nutritious the food is. This automatically puts wild animal foods at the top, then industrially farmed animal foods, then most humans, because they're even more sick than the animals, then all plants.
