  • I just don’t understand what politics conservatives do other then push for laws that oppress people they don’t feel comfortable sharing a space with? I think the real political discussions are just happening within the left. Conservative party kinda needs to just go away, and the left split into socialists, democrats, and maybe independents. American politics and media have driven it’s two party system so opposed to each other, there is no mutual agreement anymore, you either take the blue side or the red side to any and all issues, and I’m sorry the red side is just so cartoonishly evil they just stand in the way of progress, or push to go backwards in history.







  • So I want to clarify here, I know this is a tough subject. I hope to not make anybody feel uncomfortable when I’m sharing my opinion on the internet and if I did so I truly apologize.

    People can do incredible things when they have the motivation. I.E. Felipe Nunes. He is a pro skateboarder who does not have legs. He could easily say, “i don’t have legs, therefore skateboarding is not an option”. Though, he had motivation to do it anyways. Right now, you might not have that motivation to do a thing, while knowing that thing is good. I have 27 years of eating meat, and 6 years of being vegan, i just didn’t have any motivation to do it until a traumatic event shifting my perspective. Not everyone will go vegan, it would be cool, but it certainly is possible for a huge majority.


  • That’s correct, I agree with you. I’m expressing that I’ve seen this happen time and time again. There are already alternatives out there, not processed alternatives, real foods people have been eating for thousands of years. So when people comment “Oh, FINALLY I can be ethical!” It comes off as disingenuous, people just don’t want to change their habits even if it better aligns with their personal beliefs. I still think for a long time this will play out how Beyond and Impossible do. An option for those curious to try it, but the path forward to liberate animals will not come from an exciting new product, it will have to come from a shift in our thinking of food. I just don’t see that ever happening.
