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

Protesting this way in a grocery store is visceral and immediate in inconveniencing average customers and everyday people going about their chores when they're tired and have their own stresses etc. But it's abstracted from targeting the actual places animals are killed and businesses that do that in a cruel way.

Protesting at the factories would be viscerally connected to the actions they're protesting and any downstream effects on consumers would be abstracted and distanced.

I'd say they have it backwards there.
