By doing this, he is pushing more people to consume plant based milk to help the planet. It’s actually big brain of him.
E: lmao
If by "big" you mean "inflamed".
The term you're looking for is holy..
hole milk?
I've got some.. Nope! Not gonna finish that sentence! 😄
Dude's brain (RFK Jr.) literally has holes in it, a worm ate a chunk of his brain out.
This isn't even a joke, keep up with the news..
~~big~~ worm brain
We get it, you're vegan. We can tell by the smugness and the pretentious virtue signaling.
How is it virtue signalling when it prevents the deaths of many animals.
where are the animals it prevented from dying?
Breaking news: hunger is solved by people furiously typing at their keyboards.
You're right, tho. But what are we gonna do about the smugness?
Calling others who reduce animal suffering as smug is not the own you think it is.
It's not the message, it's the delivery.
The truth always stings.
Being smug doesn't sting. Pay attention to what I'm criticizing, please.
I know you have your talking points and want to get to them but we're talking about something else here. I have nothing against veganism but I do have plenty to say about the stupid fan club.
We get it, you copied some Reddit comment a long time ago and that’s your default retort.
Maybe I copy-pasted it from the deepest entrails of my brain. Who knows? Even I can't tell ya.
But I did think of it, reworded it, and then edited it, so..
We get it, you like to torture animals.
Can't say I like it having never done it. I gather you don't recommend it?
Eating the flesh and secretions against the consent of the animals is enjoying torture.
you are stretching definitions to meaninglessness. no one likes torture.
Is it now? Aren't they dead by then?
I'm just saying, accusing people of enjoying torture is exactly the smug attitude I'm criticizing. You can take your better-than-thou attitude and shove it.
And you're a dumbass
Oops, I think I hit the nail on the head and it squeaked.
Someone is having trouble admitting they’re wrong.
Are they not vegan? But if it talks and walks like one...
Also, holy shit the Avengers assembled.
Great you just turned more people from your cause
Normally vegans don't want to increase the suffering of animals, but sounds like you're good with that as long as you get to feel superior now
Sorry... you think milk makes people stupid?
No, I think only stupid people could possibly slurp down breast milk meant for babies of a completely different species.
What a bizarre superiority complex to have just because you don't like animal cruelty.
I don't like animal cruelty either, but I know enough about history to know that massive civilizations were built by people who used dairy products.
But hey, let's extend this to other groups. Like all the indigenous tribes in the world that hunt for their food.
Or how about the Maasai? They literally cut their cows and drink their blood. Those stupid backward black people, am I right?
You're definitely superior to any of those savages from the dark continent.
Oh yeah we should totally use history as our reference point for the majority of us on Lemmy living in the modern world where it’s super unnecessary to continue abusing animals, that totally makes sense.
Your words:
You did not specify 'the majority of us on Lemmy living in the modern world.' You said people.
So either all of those indigenous people are stupid or you said something very silly. You decide which.
the only thing dairy milk is "meant" for is "whatever the farmer wants". it could meant to drink or sell or give to the calves.
Yeah, cows evolved to provide milk not for their young but for the farmers. Good job genius!
they were selectively bred to provide milk for us.
an anti-vegan commie... interesting
I'm not antivegan
All I’m gonna say is… you realize reports aren’t anonymous, right?
I'm not antivegan, and implying you have some secret evidence to the contrary is both false and bullying.
The evidence for you being anti-vegan is public. It’s literally in the comments on this post
the comments literally say I'm not anitvegan.
