Really? Cause if nothing else, every dollar you spend on animal products may as well be a direct donation to the republican party. And environmental targets? Good luck with that if you support meat and dairy.
Sorry, but animal consumption and commodification is so thoroughly embedded in the conservative identity, that if you're going to be anti-vegan, you may as well start wearing this shirt.
It sounds like you can't really imagine a world where there exists more than two kinds of people. Also saying you can't get protein on plants in 2025? Maybe before wasting your time on pointless debates, you should spend even a modicum of time getting basic facts right.
Ironic, considering that moral crusade for animals entails lifestyle changes that are one of the most beneficial things a person can do for them self, as well as others, other animals, and the planet.
Do you actually have anything relevant and constructive to say?
It kind of just sounds like you, personally, don't care about anything but yourself. Strawmanning animal rights as a "culture war" topic, when my point in this particular thread had nothing to do with animal rights. Am I an animal rights supporter, and willing to argue that everyone needs to stop being abusive and cruel to animals? Yes, but that's not what this thread is about right now.
This was strictly about how the ceasing of consumption of animal products is one of the best things a person can do to protect them self from the next impending pandemic, and how doing so en mass would have the side benefit of being a blow to the republican party.
All you're doing is trolling someone who is just sharing info that might be lifesaving.
