    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.

            So what if John Smith pays an assassin to kill you, and then I donate to John’s GoFundMe to say thanks for getting you killed? Am I responsible then?

              how could you be responsible for that? they did it without your knowledge, and without knowing whether anyone would set up or donate to the GoFundMe.

                But animal farmers know that people like you will buy meat at the supermarket, so where you say I’m not responsible, you are.

                  no, they dont. I could get hit by a bus in my way to the grocery store today. it is impossible to know the future.

                    But they’re gambling their livelihoods on the fact that enough people like you will. Their action is contingent upon their beliefs about the future. Your future.
