Shit like this really fucks with me. If people here, who came to a website explicitly ML, who believe in everything from wage slavery to reparations to abolishment of all borders, still side with "fuck off, animal slavery is fine" over "enslavement is cruel" then what's the fucking point?
All my experiences outside of this website in regards to stuff like this is more or less similar. Not as bad, but still pretty bad. If people can't change one small component of their fucking diet they aren't going to be changing society any time.
Maybe it's the benefit of living in a liberal, coastal city, but here it's the "veganism is dumb" remarks that get dirty looks. When I went through my meatless phase, I never got more than an, "oh, okay."
