Can you put a content warning on animal abuse please? This made me feel physically ill.
I agree it’s disturbing and a CW is suitable, but if it makes you feel any better I’m pretty sure that’s a rubber chicken in the photograph (maybe you already knew that). :meow-hug:
At that point it would be far more energy and resource efficient to not eat meat, but the bazinga brains won’t accept that even on an economic and environmental basis. They want a future that conspiciously looks like the past but with more treats.
But I’m sure you know that there’s so much land that’s not suitable to grow cucumbers on, which means my uncle needs to have his goat farm there, and if he’s going to make goat cheese he might as well slaughter the goats when they get too old to produce milk, and anyway that’s why veganism is impossible and we need to grow massive fields of corn and soy to feed to thousands of giant warehouses full of pigs and cows. Basic ecology.
i don’t get how someone can propose something this monstrous, think it’s more ethical than factory farming and then be like “yeah i’ll still eat meat haha vote with your wallet for more ethical options! :so-true:”
I think they propose it because they expect to “win” the vote of wallets there.
That’s the basis of so many “if you don’t like (thing) don’t buy/use/do/consume (thing), simple” though-terminating cliches. Dissent is dismissed and atomized in favor of the liberal ideology of everything being a market choice no matter what.
You can build that elaborate fucking thing, or just like… eat some damn beans. jesus.
this is just like that cyberpunk mission :so-true:
We built the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel Don’t Build the Torment Nexus.
