I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I hate vegans, veganism, and the demonization of animal agriculture as a universal bad. Fucking fight me.
And let’s be real – at this point isolating one thing, like destructive animal ag practices, and blaming it wholly for climate change is ignoring the true problem which is capitalism. Most, if not all, of the practices destroying our planet can be traced to capitalism. You can’t just treat symptoms of the disease, it won’t work.

SAME SAME SAME
There are so many of them here at my school and it is e x h a u s t i n g. I’m currently at a lunch event that has only vegan mac n cheese (nevermind that soy is a common allergen and no one who has a soy allergy can eat any of the lunch), because the event planners figured that the event, which is about lab-grown meat, should have an environmentally friendly lunch. The ignorance is astounding. The assumption that all plant-based food is automatically more environmentally friendly than animal-based food, the idea that immediately ending all animal agriculture right away is the key to stopping climate change, the immediate “that’s vegan bashing!” response to any form of questioning or criticism. Basically, I have been here for 20 minutes and I need a double shot of whisky and a cheeseburger.

Don’t let anyone forget the fact that the President of the United States skipped out on visiting military graves for Armistice Day’s 100th anniversary.
Because of rain.
He has golfed in the rain. He was inaugurated in the rain. Other leaders–and his own subordinates–made it out there in the rain.
President Trump, though? The man who loves our troops and our country? Yeah, it’s weird that he didn’t go to the ceremony and chose to stay in his hotel room. He left our country on Veteran’s Day weekend to visit Paris for the reunion, but could not be bothered to face a little rain in order to pay his respects to the troops.
He forgets the names of the fallen. He cuts funding for veteran welfare programs. He sends our soldiers to the border for needless exercises in intimidation. Then he claims that others are weak on the military and don’t respect our troops?
What a joke.
Oh, and when I say “don’t let them forget”, I mean “every time some alt-right nutjob comes at you, hit them with that question”.
Also, if you need to cite facts:
An hour. This isn’t a “scheduling thing”, this is something that should have been planned. At the least, the President doesn’t have staff who know how to plan a trip.
The thing is, this drags military respect into the conflict.
If you want bonus points, remind them of the time Hillary got pneumonia from attending a 9/11 memorial.
Never trust someone who fetishizes the military in one breath and spits on veterans in the next; just saying.
