Yeah, there are good reasons to decrease eating meat, but using such a term is not convincing at all.

But it's a perfect comparison. It's very similar.

We actually gas a lot of bugs. We even sell bug bombs people can use to gas their own houses while they’re away.

Pretty effective too.

Instinctive emotional reaction.

Look, outside the vegan circlejerk, humans are considered intrinsically separate from and worth more than animals. So rhetoric like that won’t convince anyone.
Abolitionism in the North has leagued itself with Radical Democracy, and so the Slave Power was forced to ally itself with the Money Power; that is the great fact of the age.




The triumph of the Democracy is essential to the struggle of popular liberty

Instead of advocating everyone go vegan (which many will be unwilling to do and likely has its own health issues given that humans have developed into omnivores), it will be simpler to simultaneously push for cultivated meat and slowly doing away with factory farms.

Although the 'everyone go vegan' thing is what people tend to expect from a vegan cliché, so...
