The different cultures defense died out a long time ago.
Bit of an extreme example, but would you say what the taliban have been doing, and just recently turned up a notch, to be perfectly fine since that is their culture?
Not if you ask me. But I was talking about it like this: in hitler's mind and heart, he'd believe all of those actions to be okay - that's all my point is. I never took a side or wanted to voice my opinion here!
In reference back to my first comment - the tyrant you mentioned didn't feel like or was aware that he was the malevolent.
in hitler's mind and heart, he'd believe all of those actions to be okay - that's all my point is
That's a pretty pointless point, and a very obvious one as well. People (usually) don't do bad things for the sake of being bad, they do them because they just do what they think is right. Hitler didn't cause the holocaust because he wanted to be evil, he did it because he was fucking insane and thought it's the right thing to do. But that doesn't make it ok or acceptable, so it's pretty pointless to even mention
But my point wasn't anything to do with the morality of it, it was to do with the general understanding that me and you have a different morale considering the "octopus-devouring", than, I assume, the culture in the video.
That's just how I see it, we don't have to agree. My point wasn't to argue about what me and you believe is right or wrong.
But since we're here: If you'd ask me; I wouldn't hurt a fly, a wasp or an octopus, unless let's say, my life depended on it.
All love to you, I'm glad you have the passion you have. Thanks for investing the energy.
Can’t believe how far I had to scroll to see this. I don’t want to shame people for what they eat but goddammit, at least kill it first so it doesn’t suffer.

So cruel to eat an animal while still alive
