No, you are just saying “here is an example of x in y”. That is not causal. There are plenty of examples of “x in z”.

The reason innovation doesn’t reduce labor hours is because people prefer to work the same amount or more to get more when technology improves. We don’t innovate to cut back labor. We innovate to make our lives better. The amount we work is only one factor.

I asked for examples of societies where humans AND animals are treated well and you totally ignored the human part and listed societies without enough technology to meaningfully abuse animals instead.

Have you ever seen how native americans fish now that they have modern technology? They string nets across the river and shoot whales with 50 cals. Just because they say thank you to mother nature afterwards doesn’t make it better.

Abuse of animals and humans happens because there is shitty people, not because of the economic system.

You are making my point for me when bringing up vegans and your family. You realize vegans and your family exist in a capitalistic society right? Did capitalism cause good people to be good or do only examples of bad count?

Capitalism is an economic system, not a moral one. You keep insisting that because immorality occurs in capitalism, capitalism is the cause.

I can look at any society (the ones you listed as your examples of where animals are treated well) and there will be immorality, regardless of the economic system in place.
