Vegan and animal rights groups have hit back at claims plant-based meat products are misleading consumers, arguing the government should be promoting the industry.
Never heard someone refer to the impoverished, mostly immigrant underclass of landless, at-will, underpaid, often migrant workers on farms as "farmers"
ahh, a non australian i see. The conservative Liberals hold coalition with the even conservativer Nationals to form the Liberal National Party which has for the past... 10? years? has held power and still blamed the fuckups on everyone but themselves, if they even acknowledge the fuckup in the first place, if they havent already spun the fuckup as a win.
But my point was that if we are going to build socialism it's probably not a good idea to alienate the people who provide us with food.
"Love me some farmer's tears" is just an objectively bad take that we should not be applauding. The vast majority of farmers on the planet are not corporate scum wading in money.
Idk like every LATAM revolution screws farmers by attempting to redistribute land away from them to the people actually working the land, the exploited. I'm fine with that.
But at least in the US, farmers are literally landlords. Even relatively small farmers - I knew a guy who inherited his "small" family farm... he did some work on it but it was mostly exploited laborers. Dude owned like 4 SUVs and took 2-3 vacations a year to Europe or the South Pacific for weeks at a time.
Holy fuck this is a bad take.
As always, the ones who deserve it are furthest from it
It's almost like vegetables and grain and shit are grown by farmers
Vegetables and grain are mostly grown by exploited labour.

Ehh, its a heavily consolidated field, thats heavily reliant on exploitative labour, and has been the wedge voting bloc in the coalition.

Oh, right. Not an aussie no.

You can use this logic to defend almost any business owner. Farmer = person who owns farm, exploits labour for profit.
Holy shit, get a grasp of reality.
Great take actually, fuck farmers - along with every other land and/or business owner. :marx-joker:
