Don't mind me, I'm just here to complain about vegans.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 14 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Op: Makes post about PETA

Godric: OH GOD I HAVE TO BE OFFENDED ABOUT VEGANS

everyone else: Who the fuck said anything about Vegans?!

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 hours ago

I assumed Godric was anticipating "very normal" anti-vegan comments XD

Vegans will have history side with them. However, farming and pastoralism is a way of life for many people. It's a job passed down from generation to generation. It's one of the world's oldest job. Unlike fossil fuels where there is no sentimental attachment and we can tell people to reskill, farming isn't. Some cultures and communities centre their identity to farming and pastoralism. How do we convince farmers and herders to give up the practice because it is extremely damaging not just to the environment, but to the entire human species?

Even though farmers do worry about the climate change making seasons becoming less predictable and yields becoming less productive, they are also the same people who complain and felt hindered by climate change policies, so they vote for the right wing parties that provide easy answer band aid solutions, but have far more dire and longer term consequences.

The problem is capitalism Fuck meat industry

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

Blame capitalism as much as we want, but in this case it isn't some nebulous boogeyman. Who are the people supporting capitalism? Who are the people selling meat to the meat industry? The same people who I am talking about. There is naïveté that farmers don't have a hand in exacerbating climate change. Holistically, we are all to blame.

The world is just one tandoori soya chaap away from turning vegetarian forever. Remember that.

[–] rabbit_wren@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 day ago

I, for one, think it's great that PETA is branching out and disappointing somebody else's parents for a change.

"Name one cow you're friends with" is such as asshole response to an industry that sometimes treats animals worse than Nazi concentration camps.

I don’t think this is real, mostly because I don’t think PETA has a sense of humor. I don’t think they’re capable of funny.

[–] ceenote@lemmy.world 55 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I would more expect PETA to unironically tell someone off for calling a person a type of animal as an insult.

[–] logicbomb@lemmy.world 58 points 2 days ago (6 children)

Seems to be a false dilemma. They ignore the idea that you can eat your friends.

"I want to cook with you"

"No, I meant as an ingredient. Sorry, English isn't my first language"

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

"you look ravishing"

"why thank you"

"no i want to cook you and eat you. baste yourself with this for the next 30 minutes while i get the oven right"

“Why does your shampoo feel so greasy and… salty? Is that fresh rosemary, oregano, thyme?”

“Yeah it’s my chef’s conditioner, just leave it on it’ll do you real good”

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago

Oh there's fresh rosemary on everyone here we all got bushes of it.
