    The Vaush-esque appeal to hypocrisy argument that "microphones tho" and "clothes tho" don't add up
    How does boycotting a microphone or sweat shop clothing improve conditions of people in third world countries? explain it to me?
    It seems that it would not - if everyone collectively boycotts a sweatshop factory in Indonesia and it goes out of business, those people actually seem worse off right? Am i missing something?
    Boycotting animal products has an actual measurable effect of animals not being bred into existence and undergoing the treatment us vegans all know about..

      @skeej_ Před 3 měsíci +3

      Yeah, I think you're actually already granting too much by making a positive argument towards utility / rights-promotion decrease in the case of consuming sweatshop products. Even if we'd simply remain agnostic towards the effect of boycotting sweatshop products, then the case for boycotting animal products is immeasurably more convincing. (and all of this is not even considering the nearly unimaginably cosmic difference in scale and conditions between the 2 cases)

    One is either for or against abusing animals, eating less body parts of animals that don't want to die still makes you an animal abuser/murderer.
    This man was more interested in defending his rights to take someone's life for his own pleasure than giving any thought to his victims of choice.
    Great vegan outreach, I hope he will listen to Gary Yourofsky and think again about the conversation he had with you, the lady was not as closed minded,hopefully she will also think about the conversation .
    No one should have to suffer and die so we can live, this is 2024, we can choose to live kindly and choose to live a nonviolent life because we are so privileged to have access to thousands of wonderful nutritious delicious healthy foods that don't deliberately cause suffering and death to anyone.

    I think at least part of the reason why this discussion got so heated is because you never properly addressed his main argument. His main argument was an appeal to futility and however ridiculous that is, he seemed to really be invested in it. It would have been interesting to hear him explain why he thinks that because "everything is immoral" justifies paying for animals to be sent to the slaughterhouse in the absence of necessity.

    • @veganpowerlab
      @veganpowerlab  Před 3 měsíci +1

    Well done, Cip. It’s so hard to think about the best rebuttal at times and you more often than not do think of it! When he was saying about clothes and phones I was thinking that a response would be to explain that they are things we need, and if he has any suggestions on how we can get either of them items in a more ethical way then please enlighten- I don’t this he would have had an answer and of course it was a deflection attempt and appeal to futility fallacy, as you said.
    You keep going, my friend!

    • @veganpowerlab
      @veganpowerlab  Před 3 měsíci

      That's a good idea, but I feel like with people like this they could see grey areas everywhere. He said that he thinks that he needs it. And, with other people, they could still consume dairy products and claim that it "can be done ethically".
      One of my first discussions I had when doing outreach was with the son of a dairy farmer and he claimed exactly that: he wished it were done better, but it's the system's fault, it's the government's fault for them not receiving enough money... And, I just don't want to end up debating that...
      But, I do agree that perhaps making the "need" argument in this case may have added a bit of gravity to how ridiculous his argument is. Thanks for the suggestion 🤗

      ​​​​​​​​@@veganpowerlab similarly to how you do it, except replace 'would it be moral' with 'do they still deserve rights' or 'would it still be a holocaust' (you probably at least need 'mass killing' as well; perhaps mentioning the gas chambers and concentration camps + trucks, or even social defamation etc. would do well). Even with differences to the Holocaust, like the animals aren't hated, you can continue it as a comparison (for example, in the (animal) holocaust, the victims aren't hated - but they are defamed as products).
      As with here czcams.com/video/XATYJTbn_Mc/video.html I think there's also a value in helping them identify the relevant positive internal trait (sentience) before bringing up animals. It highlights ad hoc discrimination (speciesism, racism etc.) as a denial of that, rather than mere unfairness.

    @wiggles7976 Před 3 měsíci +1

    I wonder if a large number of people going partially vegan is more impactful than a small number of people going completely vegan. Just to ballpark it: If 8 billion diets have 11% meat consumption, then that's equivalent to 880M carnivorous diets. If 8 billion diets have 10% meat consumption, then that's 800M carnivorous diets. If 80M people have a diet of 11% meat consumption, and give it up completely, then that's equivalent to removing 8.8M carnivorous diets. Thus, getting the entire planet to give up 1% of the meat they eat, assuming 11% of their diet is meat, is 100x more impactful than getting 1% of the planet to go vegan. This is a very basic calculation, but I think the idea is right. Getting a large number of people to give up a small amount of meat is more impactful than getting a small number of people to give up all meat and animal produce. This is not to say that a vegan diet is the most impactful diet a single person can switch to, but if the goal is reducing animal suffering on a large scale, then telling people "unless you go vegan, it's unacceptable" is probably not the most effective way to reach that goal. There is a Japanese philosophy of small, gradual changes leading eventually to large change, and the philosophy is called Kaizen.

    • @veganpowerlab
      @veganpowerlab  Před 3 měsíci +1

      Being vegan is not about reducing suffering though. It's about granting animals rights. Are we really granting them rights when we use them?
      I don't advocate for reductionism. I think it's a good step, as I mentioned in the video, but it is not enough. Imagine someone who says women should have rights but then violates their rights once a week..

      @@veganpowerlab I look at it from a more practical point of view. We can pretty much be 100% certain that everyone will not go vegan tomorrow. We can also be fairly certain that everyone won't be vegan in a year from now. I would ask you if you think this is the case but I think we can just take it as given. We certainly need vegans leading the way, but I think asking people to be reductionists and to eventually transition to veganism instead of asking them to be vegan tomorrow is more likely to get a response. People need time to overhaul their diets, and some vegans themselves were omnivores at some point in their past.
      If someone could give me a vegan diet right now that got all the nutrients I need, and the food didn't spoil, and it was the same amount of effort as my current diet, and it was food that had enough variety and worked for me, I would switch now. Those things are not all the case. I'll probably get there eventually, but I have already found a lot of vegan alternatives to what I was eating a month or two ago.
