You’re the one bringing up culture war bullshit because you’re so fragile and so value your precious precious masculinity.

Yeah, I got a similar trick. I just never get tired, bored, or distracted. You should try that!

So given the choice between a reading with addressable solutions, and one that can never be achieved and so no one would ever argue for, you intentionally selected the second interpretation. Because this allows you to reduce the argument to an absurdity, and then disregard it. But you’re just fucking lying to yourself, you’re not really achieving anything except finding a way to arrive at the conclusion that you had pre-selected.

Do you not understand what the role of animals is in all this?

Ever since the invention of agriculture, we have had the capacity to grow more food than humanity can consume. But agriculture is business, and business must grow. So when that limit is hit, we have to find ways to create artificial scarcities to continue growth. We do that by refining plant products into increasingly scarce luxury products. Animals are treated as nothing more than machines for refining save, cheap, sustainable plant products into toxic, polluting, addictive and unsustainable animal products.

Back to your premise: we are not dealing with a lack of resources!!! We are drowning in food!!! We are dealing with nothing more than greed and inhuman cruelty.

They would if they gave a single shit about the atrocity they committed. They would in an INSTANT. Source: the personal history of every fucking vegan I know

Protein isn’t a thing that humans need to be concerned with. The whole category is made up. If you are getting enough calories from whole plants, you are automatically getting enough protein. This whole thing is a distraction from animal mercy, you’re intentionally concentrating on all the wrong things so you don’t have to deal with the right ones.

Bullshit. If people are not willing to change now, fake meat isn’t going to change their mind. They are literally committing ATROCITY. Because they are unwilling to change or examine themselves. Until that is addressed, there is no amount of consumerist bullshit that will solve the problem. “Lab meats will save us!” is the same vibes as buying a gym membership because you’re concerned about your health and then never going.

So what, 1% vs 0.5%? So what?

It’s so frustrating. Such a massive blind spot for people who want to see themselves as progressive and compassionate.

Windows was never the safe option, it was the anticompetative option that took away the safe options!! Windows has always been quite genuinely the least secure, least stable, least maintainable option.

That’s our right-wing PM! Don’t worry, it gets worse.

At any cost?

In Ontario prison slang, “goof” means child molester. It’s the weirdest fucking thing to see two hardasses calling each other “goof” with murderous intent.

Leave animals and human slaves out of it.

I don’t think he’s low-IQ-dumb at all. I think he’s the shrewdest and most effective political manipulator Ontario has seen in my entire politically aware life. I think he has certain pathological drives and values that cause him to do things that any decent and informed person would find entirely contrary to the public good, but I don’t think he does any of them because he doesn’t know better.

On the other hand, a Prime Minister with majority confidence has essentially unchecked power and can author and then pass any legislation she wants. The Canadian Prime Minister’s office is far more powerful than the American President’s office and we are perfectly able to dip in and out of tyranny as fashion dictates.

Fragile! Masculine! You!

You don’t know the first fucking principles of veganism. Why you got such strong opinions about something you’re so ignorant about?

To answer your gotcha (that I confess I didn’t read past): you take care of them for the rest of their lives because the animals we create are morally entitled to the exact same unconditional love and protection as our own children. Since they cannot take care of themselves due to the genetic injuries we have inflicted on them, you sterilize them all, and once they have all lived out their lives, the problem is solved.

How fucking hard was that?? Why couldn’t you just see that obvious solution? I’ll tell you why. Because you’re invested in cruelty and violence. You don’t WANT to change, so you’ll accept any excuse not to change without even thoroughly examining it. This is bad faith coping and fucking keep it to yourself.

Oh chill out. The entire premise of this strip is that the guy in the third panel usually DOES do the dishes. Don’t be so fragile and masculine.

There was a solid 20 years there where the world actually believed Canadians were environmentalists. Lol!
