    Okay, let’s say there’s a serial arsonist who’s been burning down houses in your neighbourhood. Now he’s on GoFundMe asking for money to buy more gasoline. I like burned down houses, so I give him money with the knowledge he will use it to burn down your house.

    Do I share any responsibility for what happened to your house?

      I still don’t see how this is analogous: the meat industry doesn’t depend on my purchases any more than it depends on yours.

      look at this chart. can you see when you went vegan?

        Yes, it does depend on your purchases more than mine. You’re making the mistake of conflating a very small number with zero.

          animals are killed in increasing numbers year over year every year. being vegan doesn’t stop that.

              The only conflation that’s happened in this thread is you conflating my responsibility with the responsibility of others.
