Systems are also made of rules, and bad rules can turn good people into bad people. That's kind of the point of critical race theory

Good people don’t turn into bad people. By default that rules them out of being good people.

Well then if you ever ate meat, you were never a good person. But I think people can be corrupted and they can be redeemed, and people who eat meat because society encourages it can be rehabilitated.

How is it meats problem here?

[–] Genius@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Eating meat is mean, it's just an example of a bad thing a lot of people do. The point is we've all done bad things, but we can all be redeemed if we stop doing bad things. Like eating meat.

Yes it is. Animals need that meat inside their bodies, taking it is stealing.

they're dead before they're butchered. they're butchered before they're sold. eating meat can't possibly be mean. a dead butchered animal doesn't need it's meat.

Killing doesn't make stealing okay

[–] commie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 weeks ago

I never suggested it does. I said eating meat isn't mean.
