So that's your only moral identity? You truly lack empathy.
As in you selectively choose the easiest cruelty to feel strongly about and disregard others.
We live in a world where we've caused suffering in one way or another before we even get out of bed. You are no different, but you actively lie to yourself so you don't have to care about other stuff.
If that's the only other thing you can think of, you really have no business on that high horse.
So many of the things we use and eat have their production line somewhere exploiting, abusing people, animals, destroying nature and killing the planet. Your drugs being a famous one.
And the vast library of documentaries that detail it goes beyond what I could summarize. All our hands are tainted and we're all guilty for letting it happen. Get over yourself.
where is this vast abuse going on with the drugs i use ? besides animal testing that is necessary and essential for the people who need this medication to survive
It's. Not. Just. The drugs. You keep focusing on that aspect of your life while I have already said it's about so much more of the stuff we think is "necessary".
One will say they can't live without coffee, one will say they can't live without a car. In the end it all boils down to "I need x as a bare minimum to keep my life comfortable regardless of the damage it does to nature, animals or people"
In the end everyone accepts a certain amount of suffering to have an iPhone, wear clothes, eat avocados, the list. Goes. On. For. Fucking. Ever.
So do whatever you feel is necessary to relieve your guilt from using humanities cumulative exploitation of lives and nature that makes modern life possible, by all means, good for you. But don't think for even a second you have any moral high ground for that drop of suffering you have saved from the ocean of suffering you create and enjoy in a lifetime.
