    Why do you choose to be obtuse? I’m not arguing from what is best for cats, that hasn’t been the argument at any point - I haven’t even said that cats should be kept indoors. You keep trying to shift the discussion, it’s really shitty debatebro bullshit. debate-me-debate-me

    Like cats are just damaging to wildlife, that’s a fact, but it’s like you keep trying to deny it, but also you can’t deny it so you just shift the argument.
    It’s uncomfortable sure, but such is life. Stop trying to make this into some weird moral discussion, or at least first accept the fundamental facts.

      Notice the repeated hijacking of leftist rhetoric and terms in all that obvious goal post shifting and obnoxious debatebro shit. Like trying to tie your plain facts explanation to you somehow having an imperialist, capitalist, mindset. Then telling me I treat my cat “as a commodity” after I had gone on about how meaningful cats are to me. Almost as if they’re just trying to push buttons. thonk

      This conversation isn’t about discussing the issue in good faith, it’s someone who clearly doesn’t have anything to back up their position and can only do the classic lashing out in a pathetic attempt to provoke.

        Yeah it sucks. The mods used to crack down on that debatebro type thing. It did wonders for site culture, kinda hope they do again
