And what exactly is a logical reasoning?

Pretty much all political reasoning is emotional, but for some reason, only the “other side” gets emotional.

Wanting equality is an emotional reason. Wanting absolute freedom is emotional. Freedom of speech, aristocracy, fascism, anarchism, progressive income tax are all, if you keep asking “why?” emotional choices.

If, at any point, someone says something is good or bad, well, that’s emotional, simply because these are purely human categories that are not rational.

I don’t give a flying fuck about CO2. I care that you are murdering an animal and ending its life for no reason. Animals have rights including the right to live without your torturing them and mudering them. Everything else is out of scope for veganism. It is an ethical position advocating for the rights of animals, not a utilitarian calculation.

Please don’t call animals it, they are someone not something, changing the language around the oppression has a widespread knock on effect to changing people’s negative opinions towards non human animals

You can make a purely rational environmental argument with reducing CO2 emissions.

Please do this without resorting to an emotional motivation such as “People enjoy being alive and not suffering” or whatever.

Of course that’s emotional.

Reducing suffering is based on the idea that I don’t like suffering, therefore I don’t want others to suffer. That’s emotional.

Vegans: Violently killing animals for no reason, ruining the environment, destroying cultures with animals is both logically and empathetically wrong
