    It sounds like you can’t really imagine a world where there exists more than two kinds of people. Also saying you can’t get protein on plants in 2025? Maybe before wasting your time on pointless debates, you should spend even a modicum of time getting basic facts right.

      I mean you’re the one who can’t imagine a person on the left not being vegan. Who can’t imagine more than two kinds of people in this conversation? Are you going to form a workers movement with those very same working conservatives you are upset with by telling them about how their cooperation in a union benefits themselves and everyone, or about a moral crusade about the animals?

      Like sure we gotta cut down on animal products for environmental reasons, but that’s not veganism, that’s practical environmentalism. There’s no moral argument there. But to be frank, I and most other people do not care at all about the morality of eating animals, and will not be convinced to care, ever. An economy without animal products is not something most people ever aspire to obtain.

        Ironic, considering that moral crusade for animals entails lifestyle changes that are one of the most beneficial things a person can do for them self, as well as others, other animals, and the planet.

              That the worst thing the left could do for itself, for its standing in the American population, especially in the present era, is to ridiculously focus on a moral crusade against meat. It’s another culture war topic that divides the working class.

              People will stop eating meat when they can’t get it anymore, in which case nothing could lead to revolution faster, or when it grows in vats, no other reason.
