I don't think this means veganism is dead, they still eat their geass and onions supplements. Beyond meat was pushed for normal people to get them to switch to artificial fake shit, and got rejected.

Wasn't Beyond Meat supposed to seem disturbingly close to the real thing? Why would a plant-based eater want that? I wouldn't.

>>513126324
Most of my vegan friends that got into it when it was the hype (through their girlfriends pressure) are back to eating grilled meat. Vegan places are closing everyday and supermarkets used to have aisles of veggie based crap and now it's just a section on a corner.

I can't say much as I'm not a vegan. But it's obviously a mistake to say that something that's "guilt-pushed" is necessarily a bad thing.

And do you really need to cope so hard by saying that vegans don't actually want to be vegans? They're a tiny percentage of the world and don't bother you in any way. You need to relax.

All these arguments about why they're failing are funny to me.

It's price, y'all. End of story.

Make Beyond cheaper than animals, and they win. Yes, some people will still hold out because "processed" or "fuck vegans" or "make your own," but if Beyond is the cheapest easy option, they win. They become the default for most people at the grocery store, plus they become the default for every restaurant, fast food chain, school cafeteria... Everyone just wants to afford a burger.

Right now, they're one of the most expensive. I get that there are forces making this happen, but that doesn't change my point about cost.

The problem with these vegan food companies is that they keep trying to make things taste and look like meat instead of making plant based food that tastes good. Their premise is to make people think they are eating meat, which is a bad approach. They even have deceptive packaging. I've accidentally bought vegan burgers before and it just made me hate them.

It's like they've done market analysis, determined people generally dislike vegan food, then made an assumption as to why. It's not because of what it's made of, it's thats it's a crap immitation of something people enjoy. Just make something fucking new that tastes nice and has a reasonable price. It is genuinely that simple.
Why would a person who is indifferent towards eating meat decide to eat a vegan burger thats more expensive and tastes significantly worse?

Then they go through a hypothetical deduction by asking something like "Humans Rape and Murdered by nature, does that justify you raping and murdering?"

Basically, they have a bunch of ethics majors and psychology majors that spent the last decades of their lives learning how do win debate team and sadly I've yet to see someone "win" against them due to this.

Fortunately this desire to argue at people to expose moral hypocrisy deters said people from adopting their view.

>>513129679
From what I can tell they're spot on in terms of logical debate, though I've never heard anyone focus on their central platform that the quantity of suffering matters or why sapience demands the responsibility to reduce it.

It's a lot more insane than you think it is. They believe all exploitation of sentient life by sapient beings to be wrong, going well beyond just shitty conditions at farms.

Yesterday I listened to an ethics major try to argue with a guy who was trying to justify the use of hunters as a population control against invasive pythons in Florida based on the "possibility" of a more "ethical" way of handling it, basically proposing sterilization feed while completely ignoring the longevity of the pythons or the logistics behind the hypothetical, all because of the moral framework taking precedence over the logistics.

If there was bird in the wild that laid an infertile egg, you could not take and cook the egg as a sapient being because that's exploitation in their eyes, because (you) have the means to go to a store and buy bean burgers while a hungry animal who'd eat it does not.
These people believe the death and suffering of all livestock due to their husbandry induced adaptions (I.E Sheep need to be sheered or they die) after total abandonment is necessary sacrifice to prevent unnecessary exploitation of their continued existence.

All of this, from what I've listened to, follows a rigid logical consistency despite being impractical, logistically dubious and presumptions of the human value in moral consistency.
The reality is that morale consistency isn't valued by most people, hence why laws exist. Obviously by concluding its human nature to be horrible (as they often do when refuting Appeal to Nature argument) they should know this.

Their primary goal is try to modify the market by having more people demand vegan foods over meat products, which is why they're obsessed with moral brow beating you into being dependent on the super market plant food without exception.

>There is nothing immoral about it unless you think humans are worth the same or less
They're particularly good at eroding that though, the best you can do is essentially to say yes, you are presuming humanity is superior and then agree to the barrage of-isms to be morally consistent; you assume -isms justify behaviors, of which at the end they just call you a piece of shit which is completely based I guess because you're a morally consistent racist.

Otherwise, They basically employ a conversational tool called Name the Trait that is heralded as the core of their ideology ( "What trait present in animals, if present in humans, would justify killing humans for food?")

According to what I've researched, defeating it involves answering with "Sapience in conjunction with higher consciousness as a default, essentially stating that by virtue of those traits being present in a standard representative of the species, that abnormalities like a downs person or braindead coma patient are afforded the same moral consideration.

However, I've seen someone try arguing something close to this and they managed to somehow toss out the "Default part".

Basically the name of the game is if you name a trait or family of traits a human has that justifies them eating animals, they'll argue your moral consistency justifies eating cripples and retards then they REDUCED TO LE ABSURDITY!

Arguing by default is supposed to work around it, but it seems they simply do not accept that framework.

The good news for Pro-lifers is this NTT framework works in their favor and bringing that up in vegan discussions causes them to glitch out because their liberal bias does cause double-think in their philosophy regarding abortion.

All of this just sounds like christcuckery to me. Their fundamental belief is that we should be powerless and die, it's a death cult. As Aryans our values are naturally about leading in a righteous manner, we want strong, charismatic and intelligent leaders that are also fair and pragmatic.

This is what they refuse, they claim that anyone having power will be evil, that it's not possible to both have power and be good, and that the more defenseless and powerless you are, the better. They work only from this pseudo-moral axiom, this conception that "to be moral you must renounce having any impact on the world, you are unjustified and prohibited in any and all cases to intervene, it doesn't matter what, I said you're not perfect, therefore you shouldn't do anything ever to anyone or anything".

It's all about castrating yourself because "if you have a dick, you might rape someone". It's anti-life, anti-agency, anti-freedom, anti-Aryanity bullshit. They don't care about the resulting suffering of you being forced to inaction, they just want you powerless to satisfy their dogma.

no white people are derived from the south asian subcontinent. white people are of the western world, of european tradition and ancestry (aka christendom). white people explored, colonized and uplifted the world's straggling diversity into a modern age. meanwhile pajeets waited centuries for the next superior outsiders to give them purpose and identity.

"aryans" were an ancient example of white people, and they no longer exist in that form. there is no "indo-european" anything worth mentioning. the modern pajeet is a degraded copy of a copy of an ancient aryan's slave, long abandoned to his own primitive devices. a more recent example of abandoned pajeet slaves, this time far from home, are the gypsies in europe.

it would seem that the distasteful business of slavery may have evolved to meet the needs of the slaves themselves. what if specific cultures of humanity are natural and organic slaves, and to deprive them of their god-given role in life can only result in corruptions? what if freedom is only a mind-bending poison to these poor souls, and separates them from instinctive happiness? then what has been done to so many? what cruelty has this been, raising them up to stand as peers and rivals to anyone?

Beyond meat is peak processed slop.

>>513145011
Well yeah, they are innately opposed to violence outside of necessity which can only come from an opposition, meaning they are indeed utterly toothless unless they broaden their understanding of necessity, which they will not do out of fear of ruining their "We will change the world through consumerism" ideology.

When you make your moral framework around treating others as you'd want to be treated, by apply it to all living things, and rigidly avoid moral hypocrisy, you are indeed castrated from any action that would benefit your cause.

Ironically most of these cucks fedora tip on religion hard.

USAID ran out.

the majority of pajeets on /pol/ try to hide the fact that they're pajeets. in addition to "leaving that part out" they will proactively, persistently misrepresent their true form. pajeets are all about assuming other people's roles, from today's outsourcing and replacement migration all the way back to thuggee bandits lying to travelers about who they were. pajeets are devoid of their own identity, making them the ideal globalized goyim. they don't want a home where they belong. all that means to them is "compete in squalor." much better to go somewhere nicer, built by other people, and do their jobs for less pay and live slum-barracks life in their suburbs. pajeets don't want to be home. they also don't want to be pajeets. jews know exactly how to play their insecurities and dopey ambitions like the innocent rube fresh off the bus from the cornfield. this is their new golem to replace the ones that don't love them anymore

Veganism is not some ad-hoc, sui generis belief system but follows from various normative ethical theories, like utilitarianism. And utilitarianism isn't pacifist. To the contrary, utilitarianism plausibly mandates that good people cooperate to amass power to make the world better, and prevent bad people from getting their way.

>>513126089 (OP)
They never tried to innovate. They took thw advice of vegans and vegetarians when they should have focused on the kosher and halal market.

They tried to sell to a demographic that was in constant fluctuations. People only stay vegan for a relatively short period of time. That means they couldn't create a market of stable customers and instead had to rely on people moving in and out of their consumer base. They should have also focused on better products instead of creating something that was supposed to replace meats.

Create a meat substitute that muslims and jews are willing to eat and keep kosher/halal. Something that is pricey but offers an alternative to worrying about keeping kosher.

pajeets are fixated on multiculturalism, race mixing and "passing" for other races, because the ulterior dream of every male or female pajeet is to breed out their original characteristics and assume another identity. rather than correcting the ancestral behaviors that resulted in their present reputation, they seek to fly by night away from their inheritance and into the ambiguity of your bloodline instead

>Bro because you're sapient, If you're upset about being prey you can't be a predator, that's a moral contradiction!
My biggest gripe with philosobros is the larp that humanity as a whole gives a fuck about moral consistency.

On these lives I watch, most shitposting teenagers that pop up have never once sat down and decided to explore an internal moral thesis to dictate their behavior like the ethics bros have, and they don't need to.
People operate on very basic threads of empathy. If some woman dies in the news, unreleated people aren't going to cry about it unless they willingly apply her death to some sort of facet of themselves and even then it's half assed.

People love their dogs but don't care about some cow because they simply haven't created an empathetic bond to that animal.
You can make little hypotheticals to point out how "arbitrary" the distinction is, but it ultimately doesn't change the fact that the empathy is inconsistent and that's perfectly fine.

If everyone needs years of philosophy to map out a consistent moral compass, then clearly that's a massive waste of time, especially since the philosophers never have the mettle to lead nations anyway.

TL;DR ethics are useless, powerful men that make powerful connections yielding powerful prosperity is all that matters.

Also vegans suck ass at convincing people to join their cause, nobody cares if eating superman by their own moral logic is absurd.

Surveys consistently show that the vast majority of vegans cite ethical reasons as their primary motivation. Nobody believes that fish is unhealthy, or that honey is worse than other sweeteners, or that wearing leather will make you sick, so real life behavioral evidence is consistent with the survey results and inconsistent with your health motivation hypothesis.

Your butthurt reply suggests that the vegans you met told you that they're doing it for health reasons because they realized you have no moral integrity and are trying to appeal to your self-interest instead.

Beyond meat is a shitty overpriced company that didn't make tasty meat substitutes. Their competitors did. Yes I am a coinsurer of vegetarian alternatives. But not a strict vegetarian. So I can compare it to the real thing. Amy's has good veggie burgers that are affordable.

>The people we're trying to reach by argumentation
It doesn't work.
At least 2 people per 8-12 hour Live I've witnesses "convert" but their inability to understand the moral dilemmas thrown at them is usually pretty obvious.
Usually these types go in simply wanting to be "good" and will accept any passionate rant as truth because it's a means to add to their own "goodness". There's also no way of knowing if it sticks or not.
Most of the time it's malice latent ego flex; they get off to the philosophy schooling. This is inferred by the vocal inflection and bragging especially when they de-escalate after an intense argument.

Basically, they're bitter, bitter at people and only know how to tell them off for being morons beneath them and that's all they really achieve. It's reasonable for them to be upset, as people vocally despise them, but they do jack shit to increase their optics among normies and dig the ditch deeper.

>Wah wah you can't justify it.
Animals do not have potential reproductive compatibility among homo sapiens by default, meaning that among normal conditions, humans are reproductive viable with each other at maturity.

Under this moral framework that holds this trait to be exclusionary of consumption, Children are included because by definition they are not mature, but have the potential to mature into adulthood to then become reproductively compatible, exhuming them from consumption.
A person in a coma or persons who are infertile are included by virtue of being a member of the species who by default, has reproductive potential.
Superman, being a kryptonian, is sexual compatible with a homo sapiens by default and thus would be included into this moral framework.

Oh no, wheres my absurdity?

There is pasta and stir fry. Vegan burritos. Corn and potatos. Soup and chili. Tofu if you need something a little meaty to add to whatever. Lots of good food that is vegan. The meat substitutes usually suck and tofu is only good in small amounts. They were experimenting with making a new type of tofu and making it look like meat. You have to have not eaten meat in years for that to taste good to you. Doesn't work on new customers.

The immediately obvious problem with reproductive compatibility with homo sapiens as a morally salient trait is that it is clearly an arbitrary post-hoc rationalization unmotivated by deeper principled reasons. But ignoring that (and the vagueness of your "future potential" clause) and reflecting on its merits, the entailments of even a charitable reading are clearly repugnant, e.g.
>It is morally permissible to abuse and murder on an industrial scale a hypothetical humanoid species that is identical (or superior) to homo sapiens in terms of intelligence, moral character, beauty etc. but cannot naturally interbreed with us.
You're basically signing off on the morality of some demented elven cattle guro manga. That this kind of absurdity is a common theme with anti-vegan arguments should give you pause, to put it mildly.

Anyone have that pic from a grocery store during the height of covid panic buying that shows a meat shelf totally cleared out except for the vegan "meat"

Vegans and vegetarians really ruined the reputation of their crazy food options and alternatives.

Well, the amount and quality of meats you need to eat instead of carbs is prohibitively expensive for MOST people, that's the thing.

Yeah, in the public consciousness the vegan label now reads as
>more expensive, worse tasting imitation of the real thing
The marketing push to get people to buy "vegan products" has clearly been a miserable failure. Vegans know to look at the ingredients list to find out if something is vegan anyway, and many carnists who may have liked an "accidentally vegan" product on its own merits will go out of their way to avoid it due to the label.

You're trying to make it sound like vegans are playing some sophisticated rhetorical game aimed at befuddling and tricking people into veganism. Nothing could be further from the truth. Veganism is simply a consequence of acknowledging that inflicting needless suffering and slaughter on sentient beings for pleasure is wrong. It is wrong for to do it to animals for the same reason that it is wrong to do it to humans. The fact that carnists have to twist themselves into pretzels trying to come up with some ad hoc set of arbitrary set of hopefully kinda consistent reasons to justify abusing animals because yummy yummy bacon is not because we're being tricky, but because you're stubbornly denying the obvious.

>>513128065
>It's price, y'all. End of story.
actual vegans typically find meat disgusting, why would they want to emulate it? Its like a company trying to market realistic dildos to straight men to shove it up their ass then acting surprised when it doesnt take off.

Some women who are guilt tripped into not eating meat might buy the fake stuff to try and cope but if they are already at the stage where they are pretending they eat meat then all its going to take is 15 mins talking to a man they like to convince them to drop the silly diet anyways.

Basically the only people who would bother buying it are phonies

>Sophisticated rhetorical game
Yes, pretty much. Reducing peoples moral framework to absurdity is a form of browbeating.
>Oh no, I don't want to eat superman my moral framework must be wrongo! I've gotta change to appeal to these social justice faggots
Empathy as humanity understands it is a social instinct among primates that effectively establishes group cohesion and all that entails.
Attempting to extend this empathy to all animal life equally, in a reality where life for the most part apathetically consumes itself is absurdity.

Suffering likewise, is a fluid term encapsulating range of states which all share a function of driving a living thing to escape unfavorable conditions.

Suffering is inevitable, so the goal to reduce it implies there is a value in limiting the quantity of it.
Within the confines of a human existence, limiting suffering has value because suffering correlates with all manner of social instability.
The suffering poor may become fed up and unify against their oppressor. The suffering population may be unproductive, or abandon civilization as a whole to escape it. There is actual consequence to human suffering.

But for other forms of life? What is the worth of suffering for millions of slaughtered farm animals?

There is no danger of extinction, there is no danger of rebellion.
The only people who value that suffering have voluntarily immersed themselves into it for reasons I can only imagine to be completely absurd. They willingly chose to misuse their instincts and expect others to fall to the same absurdity.

>Buh do you own pets?
Yes, and my love for them is absurd.

>>513126089 (OP)

>>513163278
We don't disagree on any descriptive matters, as far as I can tell. I don't even know if we differ much in our emotional/affective attitudes. I'm not "immersing" myself in the suffering of others, if you mean by that some sort of visceral empathy. I am not and never will be personally directly affected by what happens in other minds.

The motivation for not abusing others (including animals) is fundamentally rational, and rationality is not grounded in self-interest but in truth.

We all know from our own internal experience that suffering is intrisically bad. The difference between our own suffering, where we immediately recognize this, and that of others, where we don't, is not a matter or metaphysical difference but of our mode to epistemic access. We don't experience others suffering directly, and so we don't experience the badness of their suffering per se. But parsimony dictates that we postulate it just the same. Egoism is rooted in the same basic error as solipsism, mistaking a difference in how we know for a difference in what we know.

As for your love for your dog, genuine love is a care for another for their own sake. I choose a loving attitude towards others not because they happen to be special to me, but because what happens to them matters to them, which is to say, matters in truth, correcting for my limited perspective.

I cannot see the understanding of suffering and the subsequent simulation of the idea in ones mind as to invoke a sympathetic response as anything other than a willing act, not an innate conclusion to the knowledge of suffering.

I see it as self induced torture, especially the arbitrary inclusion of quantity and lack of necessity, as to submit to the reality that suffering is inescapable

I never understood vegans who want to have their products look like meat, the point of becoming a vegan is usually not as much health concerns but love for animals.
And besides regarding health concerns, those processed vegan foods are unhealthy as meat, look at the saturated fat content on those beyond meat burgers, it's from coconut oil and it's huge, plus lots of sodium as well and mystery chemicals in abundance.

I'm a vegan for half a year and the rest I'm more of a pesco-ovo-vegetarian but I would never buy processed shit, it's ok if my vegan food looks like slop and has no taste either.

>>513126571

No one wants to eat spider meat – a ton of spiders smashed and held together with meat glue.

>>513126502
The idea was virtuous enough: lets make plant based food that would taste like meat to try and get people to eat lest animal products.
1)less animal suffering
2)less resource intensive (animals require a lot of feed and land)
3)naturalize it/have people actually enjoy this because its a good business model

turns out it was just a novel concept because:
1)no one really cares, meat just tastes better
2)no one wants this because its actually more expensive to make non-meat taste like meat (among many other problems)
3)'you will eat ze bugs' and limpwristed basedboi vibes

I never even tried any of these substitute meat products but I can understand why it became popular for a time, at the end of the day the novelty wore off and meat is still cheap and available and one of the best forms of food a healthy human body needs.

>oh aktually vegans can get just as much nutrition as a
shut up, meat is available, tastes good, its nutrient dense, it cultural, its a natural human thing to eat meat.

The fad is over, until the next start up makes something that actually competes with a steak, which is gonna be a challenge.

You never see meat dressed up to look like a vegetable
Nobody buys dried and riced beef to try and convince themselves they're eating cous cous
Yet apparently vegans and vegetarians aren't happy unless they've squashed some unpleasant plant matter into the shape of a beef patty or a chicken steak
Jackfruit pepperoni for fuck sake, jackfruit was probably nice until they did whatever the fuck that was to it
I used to eat this cheese made from coconut oil or something rarely, because it was marketed as a coconut oil cheese, but then they rebranded and tried to make it actually like normal cheese and I was like well why would I buy this now, I'll just get basic ass cheddar instead
If vegans and vegetarians aren't eating shit that looks like everything they hate, they're clinging to some random vegetable or lentil that used to be some backwards third world countries staple food source causing it to rise in price and end up being too much for the people who depend on it to afford, like what happened to quinoa

But I don't eat for pleasure? Eating for pleasure makes you fat and lazy. Food is medicine. I eat for my own well being so I can take better care of my kids and my wife and my community. And yes, nothing that's not meat is able to replace that. Kidneys, liver, heart work wonders for all sorts of diseases.
