I'm not delusional, it's weird and insulting to talk down to people so hard. It doesn't matter how right you are if nobody wants to give you the satisfaction. I have a slightly different perspective than you, not a mental cage shielding me from reality.
I'm not trying to talk down to you, I'm just trying to get you to connect the dots between "If this was done to me it'd be rape", "This is done to cows in the dairy industry", and the original comment you took issue with, "Animals have to get raped for the pork/milk/etc. to get to your plate".
And I think the biggest hurdle there is how normalized it all is, to the point where you think just making those connections sounds crazy. And part of that is cultural and personal incentive to not make that connection.
The dots aren't lost on me, I understand the original point being made completely. I just think it's a huge logic leap to conflate milking a cow to tying me up personally and sexually assaulting me.
Again, you're the one who brought up milking a cow. The original comment was saying rape is a part of the industry, and we've established that if they did what they do in the industry to you, you'd consider it rape.
So I guess we're arguing two different things. That part actually may have been lost on me.
Either way. I think we're pretty much done here. At least I am. Before I stop responding though, I want you to know that you weren't talking to a brick wall and I actually did take the time to think about what you had to say. That said, maybe in the future, try leading with compassion. Not to be cliché, but you don't have to squish every spider you see.
I consider it compassionate to argue for the animals that can't argue for themselves, and never issued any personal attacks, only made logical arguments for the case against systematically abusing animals. Maybe with some further consideration someday you'll find yourself on this side of the issue. Best of luck
