I'm usually against tariffs but in this case it seems like a pretty fair tit for tat to China basically removing the budgetary concerns for their manufacturers that said manufacturer's international counterparts won't have.

Subsidizing local production for local markets is fine enough, but exporting products made with an infinite money glitch active is more or less an intentional play at market capture.

And before some sinoboo tries to gatcha me I do also object to examples where the west subsidizes domestic production for international markets.

There is no positive motivation to move people away from meet. Health maybe?

Did...did you just admit that you people don't actually believe your own propaganda about why going vegan is better?

Also, pretty objectively shame doesn't actually do anything, lecturing at people about why they're wrong doesn't convince them of anything, at best they just write you off as that ass who's lecturing at them, more often they take it as a fight signal and shut down to you completely.

Same reason we use electricity despite not being 100% green energy and thus being even worse for the earth?

If you actually wanna guilt this question then the fuck are you doing using your coal and gas powered electricity to do it?

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism, because the capitalists have seen to it that you will never be permitted to make an ethical choice that would dare compete with what they expect you to choose.

Being a moralizing prick doesn't send any message, what gets people to change is making that change easy, that's why instead of being terminally online fuckwads, british vegangelists spread the good news by hosting free kitchens, volunteering to take people grocery shopping on their own pound, teaching vegan cooking classes, and all other sorts of actually addressing literally any of the actual concerns people have about going vegan instead of being a condescending snob about it.

Seriously, I can sympathize with the frustration up to the point where suddenly murdering civilians is ok when "the good guys" are doing it.

Material conditions my ass, if it's wrong for one it's wrong for all.

And before any Hamaboos show their asses,

انا امريكاني فالاسطيني، جدي كن من بيتلحم،

My kin are not your shield for endorsing the same acts you hold up to demonize those you hate you Bougeyevik hypocrites.
