    It wasn’t as explicit as cowspiracy about becoming vegan imo. It’s very adamant that you should never eat seafood (under current industry conditions at least) but doesn’t really seem to go the extra mile to not eating any animal. I guess there is the Icelandic whaling footage to try to get the “even sustainable killing is wrong”.

    I actually rewatched cowspiracy a couple of days later and was surprised how much more direct it was with the call to action to become vegan towards the end.

    Well, apparently the filmmakers had a conversation with ASP and a retired navy admiral about how the need for policing the pacific ocean is a national security issue, soooo yeah

      Ocean imperialism is a scary future thought, but I doubt it goes anywhere substantial since portions of the ocean are seen as belonging to their closest nations.

      The only alternative to it is that every country agrees to take the hit to their GDP by voluntarily policing their own people doing fishing, which will never happen.

      How do you think we could get to a state where we stop over exploiting the oceans with no governing force stopping people? Can an international treaty of nations agree among themselves to get there?
