Including but not limited to "if you own a dog, you are a slaveowner" as a justification for eating meat

    Mentioned it in another comment and another user said it actually turned them vegan watching him try his best to argue against vegans watching live, so here's its own post

    The video is really well made and he struggles to grasp at about every conservative argument possible including 'vegans are like nazis' and 'no ethical consumption' and 'but you own a dog' it's very enjoyable

      what's the point of yelling at people to stop eating meat if most of the pollution from the production of meat is done by the companies, not individuals?

      there isn't ethical consumption under capitalism so why should I strive to make my life worse when it's not going to actually do anything?

      Dunk Tank is for comrades to come and dunk on someone, this video comes with the dunking pre-installed, so it's more of an enjoyable bit to watch someone completely refuse to self reflect.

      Caring is a zero sum game. Every bit you care more about chickens, you have to care less about homeless people.

      I'm vegan so when I see a homeless person now I get really upset. Not that they're homeless but just at the idea they might not be vegan

        you're right but I claim that most people really do think in terms of 'moral quotas' and these work like zero sum games

    i don't see what's wrong with this comparison, if you own a dog you do own a slave

    don't vegans ideologically stand against ownership of pets, how can you preach to people and then keep a slave

      Glad you liked it, there's a part 1 out there somewhere, but his reaction is buried in a longer VOD I think
