    "You vegans are always trying to force your lifestyle on us. Now, pay your taxes so we can subsidize our death factories."

    It's always projection, and while I'm sure plenty would say "But I don't support publicly subsidized factory farming!" my experience with the average carnist here on Hexbear gives me little reason to think they would change anything

    I had a stay in a mental hospital several years ago and part of their program for release was daily mandatory group activity attendance. One of the days the hospital brought in a nutritionist(which I now understand to be a made-up job apart from dieticians) to give a lecture on dietary needs and mental health. Something was strange about the entire thing. As the talk went on it trended more and more toward how cheese, milk, and dairy products were an important dietary staple for their calcium and vitamins. This lady had given out pamphlets to us that heavily encouraged consuming more dairy products and when it was over I looked it over a little closer. It was stamped with the Dairy Farmers of America logo. The entire lecture had been sponsored by that organization.

    The Dairy Farmers of America just sent some lady into a mental hospital to tell a bunch of mental health patients that their brains don't work right because they aren't spending enough of their day slurping down cow juice.

      Public schools aren't "leftist indoctrination centers" because for whatever ungodly reason, the Great Satan wants to raise the next generation to rebel against itself. Public schools produce leftists because the US public school system has a nasty "we suck and we're proud of it" mindset, almost as if public schools are designed to shill for private schools.

    Insert 'Are Animal Crackers Vegan?' article here.

    In support of this socialization process, the “wildness” of other animals may be emphasized to teach children that violent relationships with other animals is “natural,” as is human dominance. However, oppression is increasingly framed as consensual, rather than forced. This approach surfaces in Barnum’s packaging today.
