    Take a look at the Cargill family, 14 billionaires. From the wiki about the current CEO:

    In 2019, former U.S. Congressman Henry A. Waxman, in a report by Mighty Earth, called Cargill “the worst company in the world” and noted that it drives “the most important problems facing our world” (deforestation, pollution, climate change, exploitation) “at a scale that dwarfs their closest competitors.”

    Do you think that is because they use every cent to burn coal and oil in their backyard, or

    do you think it is because they produce and sell products to consumers which can not be produced without harm to the environment?

    99% of the planet could produce zero pollution for the rest of our lives and it wouldn’t even make a dent in the amount of pollution created by the billionaire class.

    How do you think they would create that damage to the environment if nobody would buy their products?


  • Du wirfst also deinen Eltern vor unethisch gehandelt zu haben weil sie dich in diese Welt gesetzt haben wo du nur Leiden siehst.

    Mir ist egal wie viel du leidest, Hauptsache mir geht es ein bisschen besser

    Dabei ignorierst du dass du selbst eine handelnde Person in der Gesellschaft bist und nicht nur andere.

    “Die werden das schon richten”

    Du glaubst nicht an eine Änderung der Menschheit also schlägst du vor sie aussterben zu lassen.

    Ich glaube jeder kann einen Beitrag zu Änderungen machen. Nicht leben ist wie nicht wählen, du überlässt die Entscheidung anderen. Wenn du aber so lebst wie du es für richtig erachtest kannst du das Leben anderer beeinflussen. Ich bin über 40 und erst seit 6, 7 Jahren vegan. Ich muss nicht mal nerven oder predigen, allein meine Entscheidung hat vielen in meinen Umfeld gezeigt dass es eine Option ist. Man kommt ins Gespräch und andere probieren es auch. Die Wirkung auf andere, der ökologische Handabdruck, ist immer größer als das eigene Handeln. Du selbst hast den größten Hebel wenn du so lebst wie du es für alle willst, du kannst dich natürlich antinatalistisch in der einzig konsequenten Art aus der Gesellschaft zurückziehen, damit überlässt du aber das Spielfeld denen, denen es egal ist was passiert. Eine kritische Masse für eine Änderung ist 10% sagt man, dazu muss sie aber handeln und nicht nur die Schuld auf andere abwälzen.

    Du hast nicht die Möglichkeit die Menschheit auszulöschen, wenn du charismatisch bist ist das höchste der Gefühle ein Suizidkult, was glaubst du wieviel das werden, 10? 100? Dann sind 10, 100 Menschen die nicht mit der Situation zufrieden sind weniger da.

    Du hast aber die Möglichkeit dich und andere zu ändern und damit zu skalieren. Ändere dich, überzeuge 10 andere und die leben weiter und können deshalb nochmal 10 andere überzeugen.





  • Its a multitude of reasons for people to go vegan: The animals, their own health, the probability of not creating a living hell on earth. The reason why vegans try to convince others is often because after a few years most are so disconnected from the killing of others for taste where it is a giant argument. The suffering and abuse of 90 billion sentient land animals per year alone is for most good enough to stop supporting it. I have surrendered that argument for most discussions because it is hard to have that empathy while it is a part in your live. It wasn’t for me, although is was not challenged in that view back then. So now my arguments moved more towards egoism which sometimes works.

    I am vegan since 5 years, before I was (don’t judge me, or do- its deserved) 10 years vegetarian. Since ~15 years? PV on my roof which feed into the grid many times more power than I used I rarely travel, not one flight. I advocate and work towards a sustainable future. Demonstrations and some political work. Go on, check my my posts and judge for yourself if I was maybe sarcastic?

    Veganism is the movement which has the highest potential to change society and is a huge impact on the environment. (IPCC: biggest single step one can take / even without fossile fuels our current food system will still contribute with +2°C to global warming)

    And it does not take away from any other activity we should pursue in the fight for climate, while ending support for some billionaires like Wesley Batista

    Ah shit r/antivegan is leaking.

    I thought you follow logic but you are just concern trolling. If you would care about other countries, other people and animals and have some sense of biology you would look at the rain forests and see that they are burnt down for your food. Animal food industry is a wasteful business that is unsustainable. You profit from the systematic exploitation of workers and animals. I am really convinced that I am right because it like thermodynamics, you are the on dreaming of manure being a magic sludge that just produces nutrients from thin air.

    (8th most deadly, but who is counting? :) ).

    With that “:)” You have disqualified yourself to be taken seriously while the meat industry has the highest suicide rate everywhere in the world. You don’t even care about humans. Tractors which are used mainly for animal feed. I have proven your numbers wrong with a easy to read source.

    frozen tofu my ass. All animal products need a cooled delivery chain, my tofu is from beans grown near me. You just try to make up bullshit to convince your sorry ass you are doing the right thing. All fake news and “they” lie all to you.

    Beefcentral if you like that source more: https://www.beefcentral.com/news/ipcc-report-recommends-eating-more-plant-based-protein/

    You are just a fact denier at that point, and a lire if you say you fight for animal rights.
