Is this thread full of SBF stooges or am I losing my mind? Fuck that guy.
Yeah, fuck him. But also they should accommodate for his diet.
The reason we imprison people for life as opposed to executing them, is because we want to demonstrate compassion. Prison is merely isolation for the safety of the public.
His diet doesn't just affect him though, if his diet is to reduce suffering of non-human amimals by not eating meat, then he's still doing good.
Think about the flip-side of this, if in prison, vegan meals were the only option for everyone, and an inmate refused to eat until given meat.
"if in prison, vegan meals were the only option for everyone, and an inmate refused to eat until given meat."
I'm still ok with it.
You might be, but think about the reaction to that. It's not a realistic scenario, even progressive governments would strike it down as inhumane.
It simply is the case that there is a bias towards vegans. If other convicts can eat meat, then vegans should be allowed to eat plant-based meals.
I don't like SBF at all, but I also think veganism should be a respected ethical position. Just like how I don't like Caitlyn Jenner, but I'll still use her preferred pronouns.
It's being brigaded by vegans who only care about veganism, not other people, and people who think it's unethical that anyone be punished for anything they do.
You know, apologia. They're actually really disgusting
