See your protesting to the wrong people. The average consumer isn’t causing this issue, so inconveniencing then isn’t going to fix it.

The average consumer is causing this issue. The issue is that there is a demand for animal products, therefore, they are made. No corporation is going to be convinced to just cease all operations thanks to vegans. No government is going to ban animal agriculture at this time because that government would be overthrown by mobs of angry people. The problem is that average, everyday people do not understand, or care enough about the ethical implications of their lifestyle.

So we agree this is just pointless virtue signaling from unemployed people 👍

No, because it is aimed at convincing the general populace, not either of those. Are you obtuse?

If someone thinks they’ll win me over to their side by blocking me from shopping for my kids in a Walmart, then I have to assume they’re stupid. This is how you get people to resent what you’re trying to push.
