The ad campaign, created by the agency Gale, aims to make a point about dairy in a somewhat entertaining manner. It was directed by Hannah Levy and co-written by Neil Casey, both of whom are alums of the popular comedy show Saturday Night Live.

That explains why the ad is smarmy and condescending rather than funny

    I definitely think actively engaging in pro-climate change propaganda harms things but I guess we're built different

        I think the logic of "this crime against humanity is going to be done by someone so I might as well do it to get that cheque" is the logic undergirding most of our modern horrors

            That's because you're doing capitalists' work in describing it. Like you're bending over backwards to avoid the context of this message

                The message is hey if you are drinking plant-based milk you're actually a misguided weirdo, you need to be normal and get back on the program of deforestation, animal torture and methane emissions dummy, yes even in a climate crisis directly exacerbated by these actions.

                    I'm not really clear how you think it could be worse. Actively working to weaken and dismantle efforts to mitigate climate change is diabolical
