We were talking about how dominant factory farming is, and how things that try not to do that do not scale. The response to that was to ignore this and throw up hands and say "eh, guess we can't do anything". Am I'm supposed to instead assume that one has to eat meat and ignore that we don't have to?
No, that's what you were doing, and I wasn't putting up with your purity test bullshit. My response is what most people will respond with when confronted with "All of the effort you're putting in to trying to be better has been completely wasted because it's not perfect."
We're all doing what we can.
There's another option you never considered: reducing consumption and reduction. I would very much say reducing consumption is a step toward a better world. I'm not going to tell someone there efforts are wasted if they're doing that, I'm going to encourage them to keep going further
I meant within this conversation. The options you presented did not include that and made a false claim on my beliefs
I understanding that everything I say is being distorted through the lens of anger, but please don't make the worst interpretations of what I am saying
I want you to vision the future you want to see. If the future in your vision is, at minimum, a world without factory farming, that's going to require massive decreases in animal product consumption and production. That's going to take require action from all of us to get there
