    It’s sad how quick you’re being downvoted. The attitude online is such a defeatist, we can’t do anything vibe. Give them an enemy to blame and they’ll happily grumble about how powerless they are and how unfair it all is, tacitly giving themselves excuses not to change their own behaviours.

      Having done a LOT of vegan activism over the years, there’s one thing that always sticks out. People don’t think they have any power to do anything about injustices. Not just animal injustices, but anything. At all. People will just roll over and take it up the arse pipe. Regardless how badly they’re being treated, and what is being done to them. People are so defeatist. It’s sad. as individuals, we have a lot of power when done collectively.

        The hard part is assembling the collective. This fact is exploited and even actively made more difficult by the rich.
