Are there even small businesses there anymore? You guys look like everything belongs to a national level brand

A well trained middle schooler could “field foreign policy questions like this”

Notably, maximization of animal suffering is a key element to both.

It’s not literally that. Back when these methods were written down, they were thought as minimizing suffering because you had to make it quick. A non religious farmer who wouldn’t care could torture the animal for dozens of minutes by doing it carelessly while halal / kosher farmers would use proper methods

Now technology evolved so there’s debate to be had but the initial intent wasn’t cruelty, quite the contrary

Anti-X or Y country sentiment is a powerful tool to discredit the left. A lot of people are afraid to engage in Marxism because “it’s gonna be like the China which is bad”

everytime i talk about veganism to someone here they act like i’m talking about bombing their hometown

Yeah that’s pretty insane. And, tbh, I have my personal philosophical disagreements with anti-speciest morality, but politically, big support to vegans against reactionary carnists and for trying to save humanity from climate disaster

Okay I guess I can be a little bi, as a treat

Can confirm, vegans are an ultra minority here.

One explanation that I find interesting is that all the people who have the right mindset to go vegan in the US do find animal products that are produced by actual farmers in France. In the US that’s impossible from what I know. So basically if you hate cruelty you can buy chicken at the local farmer so you know they had an ok life before slaughter.

I know that veganism has a definition of animal rights that go beyond “ethical farming” but veganism is also least present in the countries where people are actually confronted with animal death for consumption at an early age. The state of the USian food industry makes it so much more obvious to just cut animal products because they’re all produced so horribly

Is it possible to remain “cishet” eternally? I kinda like a little gay sex but I don’t want to appropriate bi culture because society totally sees me as het

It’s the dead end of political pacifism. If you refuse to respond violently to a violent attack you’re actually a noble person that honors humanity and totally not a loser than enables the power hungry sadist to terrorise innocents

Please USians vote for Biden so we get more funny videos of him

Bruh I just found a comment by none other than myself reading this thread I forget literally everything these days

Thanks for the link tho!

Strip club thread? I have morbid curiosity now
