    I don’t give a fuck if you don’t eat meat up until you start giving me shit for eating meat.

    The argument is always for the greater good and from a position of superiority. That’s just authoritarianism from a different angle.

      I’ve seen a conga line of Joe Rogan heads insisting there is an underground anti-meat campaign to target and harass carnivores, nationally.

      However, I was eating bbq down in Texas just this weekend, completely unmolested.

      The argument is always for the greater good and from a position of superiority.

      Sure. Because we produce (and then waste) enormous amounts of meat. And the production of meat consumes an enormous amount of arable land and potable water. And we absolutely would be much better off - from a climate change perspective - if we weren’t growing almonds to feed to cows to feed the choicest bits of to people.

      Vegans have us all dead to rights, logically and ecologically.

      But they’re a tiny minority working against the capitalist drive, and also they’re soy and gay.

      Mostly they’re the whipping kids of an industry that does unfathomable cruelty and waste and then feels the need to complain about how they’re the victims.

      That’s just authoritarianism

      Go look up the time Oprah Winfrey was forced to apologize to the Texas Cattle Ranchers Association because she mentioned a burger gave her food poisoning.
