    i'm not passing any judgement on unhoused people, students who depend on school lunches, or any other disadvantaged people in the West that eat meat because of circumstances. if you can cook in a kitchen, and the typical westerner can, you can give up eating meat.

      but the average westerner can't change how animals are treated within industrial production

      the average westerner can't materially incentivize others into some perfectly ethical life of consumption free of all animal suffering, all we can do is shame others and try to project "superiority" for personal decisions in the market place

      it's "woke" capitalism right now

        i don't care about "perfection". the aim is a culture shift away from eating meat and commodifying animals. the end goal is animal liberation under a communist society, but how are you going to get there without people willing to do so? why be a communist if your individual choices don't mean anything? why not roll coal in a stupid fucking pickup truck?
