Am I arguing or using the Socratic method?
Have you always felt the Socratic method is bad faith, or just when you already have a strong opinion?
I think you're just being obtuse and pedantic for your own sake, if you're really curious you could very easily look this information up. Please stop being like this, you don't have to be this way. Touch grass for fucks sake, good luck out there, must be tough being an insufferable git.
Maybe it is pedantic. But people should have examined beliefs. I'm sorry you are against that.
Except you're not causing anyone to question their beliefs, you're just being intentionally obnoxious. If you wanted to provide some counter evidence to their point that would be a solid way to cause people to reconsider. As is I doubt you are being honest with your intention, even if to yourself. Maybe talk about it in therapy?
Asking for clarification is obnoxious?
Do you always believe that, or just when the meat industry and the information found on their websites is being questioned?
No, it's actually more your general tone and lack of desire to actually put forth any stance of your own that I find obnoxious, but go off bud. Hope you're enjoying yourself, what a way to spend an afternoon, just responding to dozens of people being as annoying as you possibly can. You can deny it obviously, but I do genuinely hope you find better ways of spending your time.
I think my stance is clear: you guys are using meat industry propaganda to push forth a narrative and are unable to defend that narrative from the simplest of questions.
I could also say that you are obnoxious and could spend your time better, but I wouldn't do that to somebody I am making the choice to engage with. Maybe I'm just a nicer person.
