You're deliberately misreading their post

It says "why industrial animal torture industries do not" not that "industrial animal torture doesn't upset you just as much"

Either you think pets are higher tier beings than the equally smart and full of personality animals killed for food or you don't. It's not that hard

It's fair to say this person is much more deranged than the average meat defender, but the core issue of animal slaughter remains in this instance and in meat consumption. An animal's life was cut short because a human decided they wanted to do that

It's ultimately treating animals as property to be done with as the human sees fit with no regard for the animal's desire to live

Sure, this is more mask off in that regard, but it's still the same core issue. All animals deserve to live whether they were brought into the world to be used for the clothing industry, factory farming, or a pet

Yes, instead they're bred explicitly to kill, they don't even have the chance to earn the right to live a full life serving humans

The dog only existed to serve her

Uh.. What do you think animals bred for slaughter are?

If there wasn't a genocide going on, they would have been at brunch

True, but there is and they chose to risk arrest, suspension, and eviction to stand against it. It's likely most aren't leftists, but this act of protest could be the beginning of a new page of political consciousness for them

I'd hesitate to derogatorily call any of the students libs

Eh, I'm sure some will become reactionaries later in life, but there was a selfish reason to protest Vietnam in the draft. These students are risking a lot for purely selfless reasons or for their families in Palestine. Pessimism is usually pretty accurate in the imperial core, but I'm hopeful for the next generations

Pretty clear there's catch and kill going on with threads related to these protests

As an addendum, this was showing in new before the crash and is now gone but still active

Main

Edit: and now it's deleted

alex-aware mods were falling behind on killing every single thread popping up about the students across the country so they had to put the site night night for a while

Mainly said in jest, but it is coincidental timing. Even the reactionary Georgia sub was criticizing treatment of Emory students

As if libs will protest

This will catch more comrades than libs, and the libs will gleefully clap saying they should have voted for Biden

Libs will only realize what they've created when there's no one left to protest their persecution by fascists because all the other groups with conviction have been targeted

We all know the poem

Yeah but no firewall between management who actually make the decisions that materially impact their lives.

Much easier to know whose house to go to now if things get bad
