Does talking to a carnist make you feel like you're witnessing a group delusion? (lemmy.world)

I was thinking about this; I know it's hard to change from what you always have known and experienced as normal, so it's not easy to transition out of animal products, but the carnists who show up here to argue with us literally seem crazy to me; their one constant answer is always it's ok to murder and torture animals, and they can never give a good reason why.

It was a huge change for me. But now that I've made it, I cannot believe their endless faulty logic they cling so desperately to for NO reason.

I hear ya! My stance, personally, is that those of us that live in as much comfort as many humans do (eg, climate control in a house) have a responsibility treat other sentient beings better than non-human predators do and certainly better than human society currently does - ie, raise/kill-in-the-most-cheap/inhumane way possible.

Thanks for sharing what you're going through. It's good to talk about this stuff. Nevermind the downvotes. I think I covered that type of behaviour in my last comment ;P

Oh I don't give a care,as they say on Letterkenny. Carnists want any reason to hate on us lol. The logic is just boggling once you've woken up.
