You can take "justifiable" to mean whatever you feel it means in this context. e.g. Morally, artistically, environmentally, etc.

Being vegan or not has nothing to do with identifying bad faith arguments. I am a vegetarian just btw as it seems that gives me more credibility in arguing with you.

Youre saying people are not allowed to care for one thing if they dont care for another vaguely related topic. Almost anything humans do is harmful for the environment and everyone needs to decide for themselves how important certain aspects are to them. Some people want to have kids which is absolutely terrible environment-wise. Would you say theyre not allowed to complain about oil lobbyism?

Vegetarians are still carnists and it doesn’t give you any additional credibility, no. Less in my eyes on the ethical front.

It’s not a vaguely related topic. It’s the same one, avoidable purchases which support environmental destruction. If it’s the environmental destruction that concerns you I’d hope you’d cut out the #1 avoidable cause before getting on a pedestal. Eating animals provides no benefits whereas using AI does, as evident from that Linux game thingie developer who got dogpilled on here the other day for saying he used ai to help him get over burnout.

I dont know why you are constantly trying to make this discussion about me and my personal preferences.

Have a good day.
