Not sure if you were being facetious, but people who really believe they can "fix" the human condition are dangerous as fuck



You still use a straw? Off with your head!
I think it’s fine for wanting to work towards making the world a better place, and people have various ideas (some good, some not so good) on how to go about this.

But the twits in organizations like PETA and WWF that believe the entire population becoming strict vegan is absolutely necessary to fix the world/human condition are ridiculous and becoming more and more dangerous in this digital era, with it being so easy for misinformation to be spread.

If you can make meat in a factory, I'm all for that. But as it stands the sad reality is I like meat and I'm mostly fine with the occasional animal dying for my meat.

Worse are the clowns in big tech who think they could optimize systems to make human frailties irrelevant. Those people are Dr. Frankensteins and don't realize it.

As for straws, yeah... I still get weird stares when I tell people plastic isn't the universal enemy and that it actually saves us from greater environmental plundering in some cases.

Following Gordo's lead, I've whispered sweet nothings of, "Vous avez une poutine chaude".

It didn't work. I got slapped.

It's good to have directions to head towards. But what we don't need is everybody micromanaging how each other gets there.

My other criticism about the whole population going strict vegan is just another form of widening the freeways so you can create worse traffic jams. Which leads to the next point...

Absolutely the most impactful thing any one human can do to the problem. But they pussy out on that one.

I was being literal. All or nothing types are terrible for the conservation movement. There are plenty of safe sea food options available. Asking people to give up everything is more than likely turn possible partners completely away from your mission.

I feel like dangerous is a pretty strong word for people who are urging others to turn vegan. Like what’s the real danger here?

Dangerous are companies like Nestle who steal resources from communities or other corporations who pollute at free. Al Qaeda is another example of something that’s dangerous. Maybe an active volcano near an active city. But vegans? :rofl:

Dogmatic group think of that sort can always be dangerous. Especially from groups like PETA that try to change history to say hunter gatherers actually didn’t hunt, or stop all animal testing in the medical industry which is a way to stop medical research advancements pretty quickly. They also have a tendency to get quite aggressive and belligerent with how they protest.

But on the other hand, vegans :rofl:

Like PI said they become dangerous when they become too many, too confident and start trying to push idealism over reality.
