    If we could get enough people to stop eating animal products at the same time, it would simultaneously lower their personal risks of infection, the risks of another pandemic, and it could hit the animal ag industries hard - who are some of the largest funders of the gop.

      In the last pandemic, we couldn’t get people to wear a mask sometimes without them losing their shit.

      I love the enthusiasm but the movement would immediately be labelled as woke and a lot of people would start eating more animals just to “own the libs”

        The people who would do that would be putting themselves at greater risk when the next pandemic does break out. That’s their problem - especially if they’ve been informed on everything they can do to help and protect themselves.

          That’s their problem

          Unfortunately, with how pandemics work, it would be everyone’s problem.

            It already is, and they’re already speedrunning us into the next one. All the more reason to focus on protecting who we can, and who is willing to not be an active harm.

        Nah, we just need to lean into their toxic male fragility. Remind them it’s super gay to have some animal’s meat in their mouth. So juicy it slides right down your throat. Yeah, you enjoy that beef on your tongue, you slut?

        If we really pushed that message, Joe Rogan would be vegan within a week.
