To be fair though, some ethical views do have a high ground to others. People against murder have the high ground over people ok with it for example. People against dog fighting or any other form of animal abuse have the high ground over people ok with it.

Any time there’s a victim being harmed, people ok with the injustice have lost the high ground

Arguably lemmy is currently in the non-self aware stage of circlejerks with all the screenshot memes

blue lizard sunscreen sticks are my favorite. They’re really lightweight so great for hiking, vegan/not tested on animals, reef safe, they last a long time, since it’s a stick you can’t get goop anywhere accidentally, and they don’t make my skin feel gross at all like most sunscreen does for me. I’ve never felt any burn in my eyes when sweating. They’re kinda expensive but imo worth it

Yes! For me that has happened a few major times i can remember. I used to be a huge apple fanboy, until i learned i prefer android and linux way more. i know that’s kind of a lame example but it was the first time i became aware of what you’re talking about and opened the door to me thinking critically about other things - namely religion and ethics. The other two major times i’ve had this feeling was with religion, realizing it’s not true and leaving the church, and then after that having to think about ethics for myself and realizing there’s no good reason to exclude nonhuman animals from moral consideration. That exploiting and abusing them for taste pleasure and fashion and tools was totally unjustifiable.

It’s definitely a bizarre feeling, but it’s very important to be open to it and stay on the lookout for other things one could be wrong about

If you google it you will find it, but you’ve been warned

I did what i want on reddit and i do what i want here 🤷😎

I’m happy there’s enough content on here to make it worth checking lemmy now

I thought lemmings was for lemmy users. My vote is “communities” 😅
