New vegan struggle just dropped

I’m not even vegan but am thoroughly looking forward to the meat and dairy industries crashing and burning over the next decade. Love me some farmer’s tears.

Edit: “farmer’s provide food” - that’s the point - they won’t be providing food much longer! They’re about to go out of business.

Even if they don’t - the farmers don’t make the food - the people who are exploited by the farmers do - and I love them as much as any worker, and their skills I’m sure will be appreciated.

FWIW, farmer’s in my country (owners, as opposed to farmworkers) are by and large fascist scum, petty small business owners, or major companies. They’ve spent much of the last year crying about policies designed to tackle climate change, spreading transphobia, and/or coming up with creative new misogynistic insults for our “communist” (actually a tragic lib) prime minister. I celebrate their demise. I hope their workers rise up against them. I hope they never make a cent of profit again.

But at least in the US, farmers are literally landlords. Even relatively small farmers - I knew a guy who inherited his “small” family farm… he did some work on it but it was mostly exploited laborers. Dude owned like 4 SUVs and took 2-3 vacations a year to Europe or the South Pacific for weeks at a time.

Ag-gag laws are anti-whistleblower laws that apply within the agriculture industry. The term typically refers to state laws in the United States of America that forbid undercover filming or photography of activity on farms without the consent of their owner—particularly targeting whistleblowers of animal rights abuses at these facilities.[1] Although these laws originated in the United States, they have also begun to appear elsewhere, such as in Australia and France.

Sap is plant blood, and you have to kill plants to harvest them completely

Animal offal macerated and processed beyond recognition into a patty shape = BURGER

Soy macerated and processed beyond recognition into a patty shape = NOT A BURGER

Such fucking cope from the blood mouths who know their sales are dropping and that in the coming years most people won’t even be able to afford beef

Also the fucking irony of people who raise and murder other living beings for profit calling ANYONE a parasite is just too much
