It's kinda like how vegans don't eat meat thinking they're solving anything when there will be people who eat meat anyways thus making it irrelevant
I'm also vegetarian, so it's pretty clear that we think about things differently ๐
My one small part is something I have control over, but I understand feeling like a drop in the bucket, too
No, animal slaughter is not comparable to genocide. Don't compare humans to pigs. Don't compare yourself to human beings ever again, because you're a soulless beast.
i'll be honest, your opinion means absolutely nothing to me
Their talking about divestment from and boycotting of Israel. I think you're being a little heavy handed? I understand the frustration, but as far as I've seen that's as far as the comments go.
I'm not being heavy-handed. You're being softheaded, ignorant, and unprincipled. Animal slaughter is a keystone of human survival in almost every economy, critical to manufacturing and research, and is done humanely, to animal populations. A genocide is a genocide, which I do not have to explain, despite how mystifying this can be to Israel's useful idiots like you.
The purchase of the Sodastream enriches genocidaires and his taste buds alone. The purchase actively deprives Palestinian children of basic resources by funding Israel's settler economy, which is in a state of freefall.
I actually think they're talking about individual impact in the face of global forces, not equating genocide and meat consumption.
Individual impact in the face of human meat consumption and individual impact in the face of a failing Nazi economy lashing out at innocent people, yes. I already understood the comparison. Your pedantic nonsense is unwelcome. Get out of my mentions.
