“Tankies” don’t exist.

People who unironically use the word “tankie” would say it’s someone who uncritically supports communist governments, but if you ever look at someone using it, it’s always because they are uncritically against all communist governments and so they interpret nuance or historical understanding as blind loyalty to communism.

There are animal welfare groups. Some even break into factory farms to expose how unethical they are. Countries even put up laws from filming in slaughter houses because they know how shit they are.

Also I already said that without an organised boycotting effort no change can be done.

Yeah the fact that its a boycot is the problem. Its liberal individualist thinking.

No lol

No lol

Going vegan is a boycott lmao

If I were to go vegan I’d be the only one.

Same argument as before “I’m one person I can’t make a difference” - 1 billion people not making a difference.

Your argument is literally “1 billion people won’t go vegan overnight, so why should I?”

“I’m just one person so I won’t make difference” - 1 billion people who could be making a difference.

People do have that option though. It’s not cars vs non-existent rail transport. It’s meat vs beans.

If everyone stopped eating meat, cows wouldn’t be farmed for meat.

The fact that now supermarkets have entire vegan sections or vegan variants of non-vegan products is proof of a deman for vegan products. People that could be spending money of meat, are spending on vegan alternatives instead.

The argument doesn’t make sense because it treats the situation like it’s in a vacuum: there’s a dead cow, might as well eat it.

This ignores reality. That cow was slaughtered to meet the demand for meat. By choosing to purchase meat you are responsible for that demand and so farmers will continue breeding cows for slaughter.

Less people buying meat = less cows being bred and slaughtered.

Yeah “lesser evilism” always supposes the choice is being made in a vacuum where there’s only 2 options and nothing can be done about it later, there will never be another choice.

Obviously if you were presented with two options and that was it. You would always pick the lesser evil.

I feel like you can get more out of your life than just shooting one conservative politician.
