    animal agriculture existed before anyone ever bought meat. purchasing meat didn’t cause animal agriculture.

          It’s too late to prevent murder from existing, so if I pay that assassin a million dollars to murder you, I don’t see how that changes the state of the world meaningfully

            you are engaging in an immoral conspiracy. no such conspiracy exists between me and slaughterhouses. your analogy is broken, and you should stop trying to make it work.

              Well I thought murder was wrong because dying hurts, not because it’s a secret.

                  Well then I don’t see the relevant difference between what you’re doing and assassination contracts

                    when I buy meat in a shelf, the animal is already dead, the killer has been paid, and I’m not the one who pays them. none of the facts are the same EXCEPT that someone got paid to do a killing.
