The one conspiracy theory I believe is that, generally speaking, conspiracy theories are psychological operations to distract from class consciousness.

I think at this point we’ve all realized PETA is a trash organization, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say they’re funded by the meat industry; I’m not going to forget that while the Gaza genocide was going on, the only thing they had to say was that they wanted to rescue donkeys out of Gaza; Not the people of Gaza, but the donkeys; I hear all the time that humans are animals too, but apparently you’re less than that if you’re a person from the global South being genocided by a Western government. They’re either zionists, or just your average white liberal.

I think people are already predisposed to dismiss vegans or make fun of them for various psychological reasons. I only mention my veganism when I have to and even then I get all the weird comments about protein, etc. One cousin asked me if I would eat a chicken if they paid me 1 million dollars or some shit. I live in Morocco and people who make these comments don’t know PETA

Yes, but not because they’re trying to divert attention away from quiet, polite, easily ignored vegans, but as an alternative to orgs like ELF/ALB that do direct action against slaughterhouses, offices, spike trees, stuff that threatens to make these companies non-viable.

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity

I don’t think vegans care about their image. They care that you stop putting money in this industry

Occam’s Razor says otherwise

Either way, I’m still going to eat chicken and eggs.
