When I speak of suffering abolition, I mean suffering abolition.
Not "intense suffering" abolition.
Not "non-consensual suffering" abolition.
All negative hedonic tone is an affront to a worthwhile world.
I was a slavery abolitionist for 10 years and the thing that made me quit is realizing I would personally whip every poor person in the world to save my child
I find little more outrageous than people using woke social justice language to defend facilitating the mass torture of the innocent by purchasing meat.
ngl, these tweets have changed my perspective on veganism. i used to think that a vegan diet was the most ethical dietary choice, but i see now that i was wrong. the most ethical dietary choice is actually to slaughter and consume the morons who like tweets like this en masse.
The left treats the Indigenous as some sort of mythical forest elves who cannot do wrong.
Whale hunting is bad. It was necessary for some people in ages past. But it is not anymore. I don't care that it's "cultural." Many terrible things are cultural. They should knock it off.
"If everyone gets material abundance.
No one has material abundance."
This is a dumb argument masquerading as a clever one.

@arcticinstincts What this isn't taking into account is that those are wild animals, many of whom would have been killed by being eaten alive by predators or starving to death anyways. Whereas humans breed cows who otherwise wouldn't have existed at all.
Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
If Waymo gets its way, tens of thousands of people will be spared from automotive-related deaths.
When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, pedestrians, pets, and drivers are all safer.
This isn’t inevitable — The pro-auto-fatality lobby is doing everything possible to stop it.
They run a euthanasia clinic that they call a shelter for tax reasons. The animals they kill wouldn't be better off continuing to live. These people don't care about the animals or the truth.
It’s even worse. PETA are so batshit insane that they don’t really believe in the concept of pets. They run essentially Auschwitz for cats.
‘Data has consistently shown that a large majority of animals taken in by PETA are euthanized. Reports have indicated euthanasia rates often exceeding 80–90% in certain years’
