Yeah, there's too many immature people who won't work as part of a team, and instead will only help if their personal actions have huge solo effects. If you people would grow up and help out, we could actually get stuff done, but instead you just complain and seek comfort

"boo hoo, I'm one person in a population of billions and I don't feel like I matter" grow the fuck up. Stop expecting to be special.

They hire smart people to run the risk reward analysis. If you reduce the payout, they'll place smaller bets.

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.

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

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?

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

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

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

I bet more meat is sold next year in the timeline where you live than in the timeline where you die.

Trying to get meat caused animal agriculture. Stop trying to get meat.

So you're saying your purchasing of meat contributes towards animal agriculture
