And higher standards of living are higher standards of living right? Maybe the comparison is totally off base, just seemed like there was some similarities.
Also I meant that in a "it's good because it serves as a transition between systems" way, not a "we must have purity way"
Well, in the sense that China is basically the only country to expand it's economy during covid and has successfully eradicated poverty for hundreds of millions I'd say yes. Now if Impossible burgers can do the same for the conditions of the worlds livestock (while also making a controversial profit for the company owners) would it not be somewhat comparable?
If it helps a lot of people go veg or vegan (or even just significantly reduce meat consumption) then I’d say it’s had a proportional effect to Dengism.
I don’t really care much about Deng or impossible meat though, so...
It was a particularly hot take on my part lol, guess I just saw that both require the same types of critical support and my drunk ass was like "HEY THE ECONOMY OF CHINA IS LIKE FAKE MEAT!"
This shit is to Veganism what Dengism is to Socialism (discuss)
I don't think the animals or environment care if it's bougie. Less cattle farming is less cattle farming

when it means far fewer sentient beings dying, yea
Exactly my point.
I mean according to half the people her Dengism is working, sooooooo...

Kinda different scales here.
