    so the guy who’s hobby is “ethical philosophy” gets no judgement, but when i find a topic that touches on ethics, ecology, economics, anthropology, biology, nutrition, and politics, i’m a reactionary if i use it as a hub to reach all those other discussions.

    are you afraid i might actually know what i’m talking about?

      “Are you afraid of my debate prowess?” debate-me-debate-me
      You don’t get to act so smug and assured when you’re going to bat for the dominant ideology.

      No, you’re a reactionary because vegans are right and you’re starting right off with the slimy “debate” techniques. It’s very clear to me that your only goal is to “look right” in front of everyone, rather than actually engage.

        not only am i not slimy, this sentence belies an inability to engage with the material, attacking form rather than substance.

        how do you think i’m going to bat for any ideology at all? it’s just an intellectual exercise.

      Hey, that’s me! There’s actually a “debate a vegan” muni on lemmy, if you didn’t know. I almost subbed. I’m a three-time former vegan. Sounds more impressive when you say it like that, doesn’t it?

      No but I get you. Arguing is fun as long as the stakes aren’t too high (pun intended).

        The thing is that on leftist forums, the stakes for a veganism debate are pretty high cause it easily causes a 50-50ish flameout.

        Mods would appreciate if people like OP didn’t intentionally troll to stir that sort of thing up (if the discussion takes place organically and respectfully, then whatever).

        Mods would also appreciate if people didn’t feed obvious trolls who are just starting things up, like you pointed out, there are specific places to post about that sort of topic.
