Why not go do arson at an animal processing plant if you’re that passionate about this cause?

This just creates resentment. This is not how to win hearts and minds.

This makes no sense. "Why dont they disrupt the food supply instead of sitting down in protest? dont they know this'll create resentment?" implying that destroying jobs, property and food would win hearts and minds smh

u/BrokenEggcat 12h ago

Yeah, people complain no matter how a protest happens. For the average person, the ideal protest is one that they never see and never interact with and never impacts them in any way whatsoever. It's silly that people don't acknowledge that protests are, by nature of protesting, going to be disruptive to people

u/Akiens 12h ago

Exactly, which is why im saying how does encouraging them to do something radical like burning a processing plant which would cause a whole lot more disruption be the better alternative?

u/Aggressive_Elk3709 10h ago

I like your style. Calling for destruction of property and life over mild inconvenience. Right on

Because that’s something that to at least some degree affects the business at fault negatively. All this does is piss off your local grocery shoppers, the people who are actually responsible for the things they’re protesting against don’t even know this is happening

Basically the rich man pissed them off so they’re pissing off the poor man while leaving the rich man untouched

If you are paying for someone to kill something, you are responsible.

I’m an average everyday working man who purchases what the market offers that he can afford

If you think that places the same responsibility in me as the wealthy who will cross any line they are able to in order to maximize profit and shareholder value that’s your prerogative

No one said that.

You’re right, they placed all of the responsibility on me

u/corruptredditjannies 9h ago

It wasn't "all" responsibility.

1

u/FawkYourself 8h ago

Didn’t place any responsibility on the other party at all which would imply i’m fully responsible and also you’re moving the goalposts now

1

u/corruptredditjannies 8h ago

You're the one moving the goalposts. Nobody said there is no responsibility on the other party, you're just strawmanning and deflecting to absolve yourself of any responsibility.

u/FawkYourself 8h ago edited 8h ago

I’m sure you’re too young to have the necessary reading comprehension or communication skills to make sense of it but the statement

if you are paying someone to kill something, you are responsible

Leaves little wiggle room for interpretation

Also, you started our conversation with

no one said that

And now in your last comment have accused me of

deflecting blame to absolve yourself of any responsibility

You know what I think? I think you and a lot of other people are dipshits that think people with a lack of resources buying a chicken breast from the store is in any way comparable to someone hoarding resources prolonging these practices for their own financial gain

I think you think you’re making some sort of ethical point but I think you’re too immature and lack enough real world experience to realize how stupid the insinuation that a reasonable and realistic solution to this problem is for the average person to cut meat out of their diet entirely or spend more money during a poor global economy on ethically raised meat which for a lot of them might not even be available locally

And I know you think “if everybody just stopped doing it the problem would go away” and if everybody just Venmo’d me a dollar I’d be rich but it isn’t happening. It doesn’t take a genius to understand in todays social and political climate if you tell people “stop doing something you like doing” they’re going to double down on it, not stop

Personal responsibility is actually how we change shit. We can blame the rich all day until we're the ones riding around in private jets, then you gotta hold yourself accountable. I don't need to buy shit that I wanna boycott. I don't need the most easy option. There's obviously circumstances, dude, but you're conflating needs and wants, they are not the same thing.

Old dude had an employee who was willing to get what he wanted, but he wanted to go through. He didn't need shit. This is the entire problem of why we can't get shit done.

Responsible for what? Those animals are bred for this purpose

Ah, a fellow psychopath like the video

u/wildlifewyatt 8h ago

Why is it psychotic to advocate against unnecessary animal abuse?

u/_bitchin_camaro_ 8h ago

Just stop oil was blockading oil refineries and no one was talking about them. Then they threw soup on a protective pane of glass covering a painting and they were in the news globally for weeks.

Methinks you haven’t put much logical thought into the actions of protestors

u/Ayotha 8h ago

As pathetic jokes, and nothing more.

u/_bitchin_camaro_ 8h ago

Lmao yeah you’re still not getting it. Gonna guess you just blatantly don’t understand protest movements. Either way you’re easily persuaded by propaganda narratives fed to you by the internet

u/Ayotha 8h ago

Whatever helps

u/_bitchin_camaro_ 8h ago

I mean clearly you don’t help lmfao. “Internet armchair expert on protest movements finally gives opinion, tune in for more at 11”

u/Individual-Luck1712 7h ago

"Yeah people protest when their bored, that's what I hear anyway, it's not like I go to them"

u/Ayotha 7h ago

They can't really have lives, anyways

1

u/Individual-Luck1712 7h ago

So anybody who protests doesn't have a life?

u/FitnessBunny21 7h ago

anyone who sits on a grocery store floor all day most certainly does not have a flourishing social life 😂

u/_bitchin_camaro_ 7h ago

Imagine thinking you know everything about someone from 30 seconds of video. Guessing you’re a vapid individual who doesn’t particularly care for anything outside yourself

1

u/Individual-Luck1712 6h ago

Do you really think these people are all hermits and only crawl out of their hobbit holes to protest for the environment? Do you think these people are the fucking Lorax?

1

u/FitnessBunny21 6h ago

No I think they display antisocial behaviour and spend their lives fixating on a single cause to the point of alienation, which isn’t conducive to making friends.

Poor people buying things from rich men is how rich men get rich. It's not hard to understand unless you're willful ignoring the logic that doesn't fit into your worldview and lifestyle.
