The question "Do you think wanting to live compassionately towards all beings is elitist?" is purposely phrased to put the questionee on the defensive. When you phrase a question or statement to make your position seem more holy, you insult the people you debate with. Here are a few examples: I haven't yet sifted through your many other threads on this matter. I will update this list as appropriate.I honestly don't understand how you interpreted it as passive aggressive
easier to chase after the person who triggered that feeling inside of you rather than having a serious introspection of why we do what we do and whether we need to do it at all
do you have a valid argument to justify the billions of animals currently being cruelly imprisoned, abused, rapped, mutilated and murdered for no other reason than human enjoyment?
I'm a lot nicer when I'm not being pitch forked by a crowd simply for asking to reconsider torturing animals.
Can you not see the disproportionate reaction of outrage to my method of calling attention to the issue and the complete complacency to the unnecessary suffering of farmed animals?
What more noble motive than wanting to reduce cruelty, suffering and death do you want?
putting our own pleasure ahead of another species well being and the stubbornness of the human ego to admit it. And then I'm the unreasonable, inconvenient one.
I truly don't care what you think about my way of forming sentences in my second language. Since when is it a crime to use words to defend the defenceless?
See what I did there? : ) I don't have to fight for the moral high ground for as long as you keep attacking me instead of having the guts to engage with the actual debate of animal abuse.
How can you exist? How can someone so blind to how they come across, to how their arguments hurt their cause, to how other people can have different opinions ever possibly exist? Not once in your conversations here have you ever even vaguely entertained the thoughts of others. You view Hubski as a platform for your views and your views alone, and cry "Persecution!" when others dare to speak. You demonise others, and act shocked when they demonise you as well. You labour under the impression that your tactics are excused for your "noble purpose." Your crusade has, so far, accomplished nothing but antagonising a community that has done nothing but talk to you. Your opinions are not worthless, but you are. You are a coward who knows nothing of struggle. I have nothing more to say to you.
Thank you for reinforcing my previous point. You have to be a pretty tortured person to deliberately try to hurt another (human) being. Much love to you.
