when liberals get the bullet, too, I guess you won’t need to worry about how we take care of each other

that same bank also impoverishes developing nations with crippling debt.
but you haven’t shown that people can’t help each other without banks
this is not evidence that people cannot be helped without banks
this, too, is not evidence.
this is not evidence, it’s handwaving.
We don’t need to eat beef.
probably not but it’s really small potatoes compared to the systems that actively kill people instead of feeding them.
And banks have been instrumental in one of the largest rises in human living standards in history so dismantling them seems pretty cruel to those who don’t yet live as well as we do.
i don’t see any reason we can’t help people without banks.
whining about billionaires online
is just as effective. if you want to change things that are wrong, you need to go to where they are and stop them.
we need to eat. lets dismantle the fucking prisons, banks, and armies first.
Way easier to rail about billionaires online and feel snugly superior rather than actually doing the work.
did you try abstaining from beef? the meat industry grows every year. did you try abstaining from smartphones? sweatshops? air travel? your decisions made no difference.
farming is one of the biggest contributors
all of agriculture makes up about 20% of our ghg emissions.
a 80% cut has an impact! so does 50%.
i don’t think so. i don’t think it matters what you do in the grocery store or in a restaurant.
You don’t have to be a rabid vegan to make an impact.

the fact is that the industry continues to grow.
this is warmed-over poore-nemecek 2018. that’s the primary basis for the claims about the climate, but the methodology of that study is fucked, and it’s a disservice to actual climate science to keep touting this meta"study" that misuses its source material and myopically focuses on distilling data instead of understanding the complexity of our agricultural systems. the textile industry’s water use, land use, and emissions, i guarantee, are being counted in poore-nemecek as emissions from beef. i didn’t pull out the data from the separate reference to water use, but i will eat my hat if that doesn’t, as well.
eating less beef has not been effective at stopping the growth of the beef industry for all the people who have done so. we need a real solution, and trying to influence individual consumer choice isn’t working.
edit: down voting doesn’t change the truth
you should check a dictionary. farmers exploit their fields, oil companies exploit wells. don’t take my word for it
and the other people in my inbox certainly don’t think I’m vegan. why do you?
you’ve assumed i agree with your position that eating meat = animal exploitation,
this is a bare fact. like drinking water is often exploited from a well. exploitation is not bad in itself.
The fact is that if you banned animal ag, you would significantly reduce total child labor violations.
how can you prove this?
at least someone trying to reduce one’s dependancy on this shit is doing something
but i AM doing something. i bought a buss pass last month. it’s just as effective!
I’m waiting for the mods to read their reports
