The democrat murders the Palestinians, Iranians, Libyans, Syrians, Cubans, Venezuelans and black people just to postpone the election of Republicans by 4 years, hence the loop. The socialist meanwhile tries to dismantle the orphan crushing machine.

I did not argue whether vegan is cheaper, I argued that chicken is not expensive. 4€/kg raw and 6.5€/kg cooked for European prices is not expensive food, end of the story, you really cannot honestly argue against that. If you're seriously arguing that, you should apply for a job at the Wall Street Journal, you'd be a wonderful corporate lackey and worker basher.

Ok, so then say "eating chicken is immoral", not "eating chicken is expensive" if you're vegetarian, and don't play dishonest arguments using price.

If you buy bell peppers in an EU supermarket they hover around the 4€/kg, which is very similar to the prices of whole chicken. Rotisserie is marginally more expensive per kilo, because it's one of those convenience items that supermarkets don't sell for a profit but for convenience to attract clients. Local supermarkets such as Mercadona sell rotisserie chicken de-boned for 6€-ish/kg.

This post is not about vegetarianism and its morality (which I support), it's about the literal cheapest meat being considered a luxury. 6.5€ per kilo for a cooked meal is literally some of the most affordable you can find, try feeding 2-3 people without cooking yourself. Do you consider strawberries (5€/kg at cheapest) a luxury?

France would approve 30% if it was up to them

Up to whom? Has the majority of the population been consulted on military escalation and draining of state budget in welfare in favour of weapons?

Also, you really don't think the EU will spend a significant amount of that budget buying weapons from the US military industrial complex?

In what universe is rotisserie chicken expensive? Like, unless you exclusively eat grains, potatoes, carrots and beans, there's essentially nothing cheaper, chicken is by far the cheapest animal protein in most of the world.

Socialists have been saying it since NATO was created, maybe we were right all along?

France approved the 5% GDP expenditure requested by Trump to all NATO countries, he's only pretending not to bend down because of public opinion

The US and EU are killing Iranian citizens by the hundreds of thousands with the extreme sanctions the country is subjected to. The protests are happening primarily because of the currency devaluating due to sanctions.

Discussing the morality or immorality of the Iranian regime under such conditions and weeks before a US armed strike on Iran amounts to atrocity propaganda, and it's exclusively done to justify military invasion to progressives (probably like you). I know that your heart is in the right place by arguing against the Iranian regime, but doing it now amounts to running Zionist and western imperialist propaganda.

If you care about Iranians, you should focus on their most immediate and harmful threat: the one caused by the European and American regimes, under which you likely are living. Fight against the extreme sanctions murdering Iranians through lack of access to medicine and basic goods, and fight against the military invasion that threatens to turn Iran into another failed state as it happened in Iraq, Libya or Syria.

If one death is too much, march for the abolition of economic sanctions by Europe and the USA, they literally murder half a million people per year. Per The Lancet medical journal:

In their panel analysis, Francisco Rodríguez and colleagues once again demonstrate that sanctions do kill: economic sanctions imposed by the USA or the EU were associated with 564 258 deaths (95% CI 367 838–760 677) annually from 1971 to 2021, higher than the annual number of battle-related casualties (106 000 deaths).

In the 50 years of the study, that amounts to above 25 million murders worldwide. I strongly urge you to raise awareness about this.
