An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)

No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads

Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content

Just because it is not comparable to a serial killer does not mean that it's not bad enough to warrant a holier label. How do you justify killing and torturing an animal just for taste pleasure?

I dont kill or torture animals, I support an industry that does by buying the products they create. That is not bad enough of an action for you to be holier.

Read your comment again, slowly, and tell me you think this is a good argument.

How bad would be bad enough? Is holiness quantized?

I can quantify it, and so can you. I cant tell you whos correct.

You apparently think there is some lower bound of an action's unholiness such that it won't contribute to an individual's overall holiness. Hence my use of the term quantized, not quantified.
