I agree that question is morally neutral. And not yet, I don’t, but that is the long term goal. I’ve got the land I would need and am working on fencing. In the interim, I have switched to meat raised and butchered by hand.

I don’t know. That feels a bit off-center to me rather than middle considering one end of the spectrum is “kill nothing ever” and the other end is “How many endangered animals can I make extinct just for funsies.” If everyone killed what they ate themselves, manually, I bet we’d have a bunch more vegetarians hanging around.
Personally, I just think the moral middle ground would be to be the person that slaughters and butchers the animals you eat. It would allow the most respect for all parties imo.
Well yeah. I hope I didn’t imply they actually won lol. I’m saying they lost, but when people generally tell that story like in the various movies or a history class lecture, they’re positioned as the good guys. So many many years later, in that all we have are stories, that matters more than winning. Just my opinion I suppose.
Side note: yeah that Gerard Butler movie 😂
Reddit won in the since that Sparta lost. Nobody tells the story like they’re LOSERS. Sometimes, being the protagonist in a tale is more important than winning.
Hmmm, I hadn’t considered it in those particular terms, previously. I would definitely say my actions are less moral than they would be if I was doing the raising and butchering myself. Evil feels harsh but if we are using clear cut terms like good, neutral and evil, then I have to put my current actions in the evil column. And since my entire argument is based on a moral middle ground, I would say yes. I am attempting to move into morally neutral territory.
