There's these, the butcher AMA yesterday and the glut of people losing their shit trying to justify eating animals on a c/vegan thread. People who are meat were open about it but there wasn't this weird pro-meat thing until recently. It's sus.

    Yeah I just thought it would be enlightening to share aspects of my job in a manner that glorifies the labor aspect of my work. Butchering is a skilled profession that is dying. I don't endorse the cows aren't vegan guy. Obviously humans have the awareness that we shouldn't eat meat. I'm hoping cloned meat replaces normal meat soon and in a sustainable manner.

      If you're gonna do something wrong, might as well do it right. I took your thing for what it was, until today when it seemed like maybe it was part of a pattern. I thought it was a bit odd to see on a leftist board but that's me forgetting that a lot of leftists don't care about industrial level genocide if they get buggies and epic bacon out of it

        I 100% apologize for starting the meat struggle session. I mentioned it elsewhere but my s/o is vegetarian and so I eat that way most of the time. That of course, is the bare minimum I should be doing. Thank you for raising the concern about these posts mate. I saw in one of the meat posts people were discussing some sort of chicken substitute so at least that good came out of this.

          Probably wasn't you and if so, you didn't plan it. I don't think anyone could predict Cows Aren't Vegan

              I should also apologize for even dragging you into this as well. It coincidentally fell into a weird list pattern. I was actually gonna do a bit of vegan snark in the AMA but liked thatit was being used for someone to talk about their profession which I think is also cool and important, the two thoughts balanced into bme just keeping my mouth shut. I've worked in kitchens forever and have had to do meat work often, jobs are jobs. You seem like a really stand up person from your response to all this as well.

                I took up being a butcher's assistant because at the time they were paying me more than when I was a cashier. Now I am just happy that I can tell an antimasker to fuck themselves and that I can use the restroom without getting permission. I understand where you were coming from with this thread no worries.
