it’s better than “threadiverse” which at once includes the name of a Facebook product and seems to also give Facebook all the credit for mastodon, Lemmy, pixelfed, peer tube be etc, while also making them appear to be second class citizens.
but I am not endorsing this “social web” thing yet, either.
your analogy doesn’t reflect the reality at all. a more apt analogy would be that someone paid to have their grandfather murdered, and later had an estate sale. at that estate sale, if i buy a watch, am i responsible for murder? no.
No your honor, i didn’t pay for the murder, i paid for someone who paid for someone to commit the murder. I’m obviously innocent!
i would be innocent. i had nothing to do with any of their decisions, and only much later did i pay anyone, but not the people responsible.
f you walk onto a farm and point out a pig and say, kill that one I want to eat it, and then the farmer kills it and gives it to you for money, you still have 0 responsibility for what happened
this is a conspiracy and completely disanalogous with how most people buy meat most of the time
nope. the only thing that can be said to cause the actions of a free agent is their own will.
It’s designed to make the viewer uncomfortable.
yea. it uses well-known horror film techniques to induce trauma. sudden loud sounds, long sustained shots from awkward angles, long periods of loud sounds. it’s not a documentary, it’s a lesson on abusing audiences.
i do think it would be better if everyone took responsibility for their own actions. i don’t see how we can function if that isn’t how we assign blame.
I’ve seen dominion. it’s propaganda designed to inflict trauma, not a a sober analysis of humanitarian slaughter laws and practices.
it will result in less animals being killed

you know that has not happened
the producer can choose based on any criteria they want. they choose the criteria as well as the action. all the responsibility for the actions of the producer lie with the producer.
And so since its in the past and a different person, person 2 shouldnt feel like they caused what person 1 did.
that’s how linear time works. an event in the present or future cannot cause an event in the past
I disagree that agriculture is inherently cruel.
i feel no responsibility for what the animal agriculture industry does, and if i did, to stop it, i wouldn’t go vegan. i’d buy bolt cutters.
Would you care much if companies stopped selling meat?
i doubt it. i have drunk a lot of soylent and huel in my time. i’m open to all kinds of food, i just buy what’s at the corner of Cheap and Convenient
If you replace it with humans, I would argue that both situations would be murder for person C because there is no way they could reasonably assume they could get human meat without a person being killed and it taken from them.
there was some ambiguity in how you phrased it whether the person buying even knew it was human meat. regardless, they are not responsible for the actions of other people in the past.
Its a relationship essentially and I dont think its possible to assign responsibility to a single side of the relationship.
everyone is responsible for their own actions
They do take a risk that they assumed wrong and the people they thought would buy it don’t. When that happens they reduce supply or make something else that those people do want.
they can choose to reduce their supply for any number of reasons. i’m not responsible for their decision.
You are paying a company to make whatever good you buy from them by purchasing the item, they’ve just premade it for convenience.
no. i’m paying them for the good. when you stopped buying meat, did the companies you bought it from stop selling it?
this is how blocking should work. if you are publishing something to the public, there is no reason to expect others can’t see it comment on it
