"an improvised explosive device" is admittedly a pretty fun thing to call "jerking off into my own face and hitting myself in the eye and being too self-conscious about it to go to medical until it got infected"
Industry also drives people's demands fwiw, without lobbying, subsidy, advertising, and the cultural dominance of meat production those things have brought about, meat consumption wouldn't be anywhere near what it is today
Both are driven by corporations but both can also be impacted somewhat - both by reducing carbon and harming corporation's profits - with individual choice making. Both will also ultimately only be fully rectified by a new economic order.
look, a vegan diet isn't perfect, but I'm genuinely confused - literally every single animal product, meat or otherwise, takes at least several pounds of plant matter per pound of product, often dozens or hundreds of pounds of plant matter per pound of product. This is the basic physics of metabolism and energy conservation. This doesn't even regard the extra energy and equipment of shipping around feed, clear-cutting land, building structures, using dozens to hundreds of times more water, and using far more fertilizer and farming energy to make feed. Do you have an argument that eating meat is better for the climate, or is this objection all based on vibes?
Did they have any other countries in the running? And if so, did they cross compare measures of foreign interference between them? Just curious, want to make sure this report is as scientific as possible and fair and impartial
Seeing the US orchestrating over 80 coups, funneling money into them, training death squads, sanctioning, weaponizing the IMF, deploying troops, dropping bombs, injecting propaganda, and more; and then going "But wait China messes with other countries too!" IS the whataboutism
Wow, more than a billion! Remind me again, how much does one single Lockheed Martin F-35 cost? How much money did the NYPD cost in police misconduct settlements year? And how much did the pentagon just lose last time it was audited?
look friend, they had to make laws outlawing bank runs. You know what that means? They don't have all your money. And not only that, but the state is willing to use violence on you if you threaten their right to not have all your money. This sounds cut and dry.
Because they're unable to distinguish between a state that enforces human rights and a state that enforces human rights violations. To them, the state doing things is always fascist.
