So your are working more in the direction of authoritarian governance? Authoritarian left I guess because the right still even hold strong on fossile fuels.
What do you propose to do with those how don't comply with your rule of force, gulag?
Can you think of any change in history where that worked out? Most rights we have fought for in history: voting rights, women voting, abolishing of slavery, human rights, all that came from the people and there have been wars for it. Animal rights and the rights of future generations are tied into each other. We can't have one without the other We should not need governance or bibles to take responsibility for our own actions.
Animal agriculture will raise the temperature even if we had stopped 2 years ago with all fossile fuel by 2°C. Since we still burn fossile fuel the temperature will raise above +4°C, a point where all animal agriculture will fail because the animals will die from heatstroke and starve from global crop failure.

And your position is "if you force me I will comply ~~daddy president~~ beloved leader" instead of joining the millions who have gone already vegan? Are you really like a kid?
Jezz you went completely to the extreme without addressing any of my points. I'm not saying we should have an authoritarian government. Just one with regulations. Are you an anarchist? Because you sound like one. All the big things are done organized, be it in a government or an association. Do you think women's rights were done by a group of people? Governments passed laws. So you need laws to help society. Whether you like it or not
Absolutely, stuff happens, no protests, no civil war, people just don't care and then it happens. How could I not have seen that.
Do you have no respect towards those who fought for your rights? All the marches and protests that brought us to where we are now? It would be great if you join a association or organization, you don't have to do it alone!
Yes, I am leaning towards veganarchism, I would prefer not to have a government having to force people what they eat. Maybe its a kink of yours, don't know. I am 40, I am vegan for 5 years. I don't think I would have excused my earlier actions with a too weak government. That's real sad is all I am saying
It's kind of funny that you attack me for just stating my opinion and then get mad for something I didn't say. You are too extreme. Next time think about the laws that allow you to live peacefully in your country. If you think you will have any impact without government action then good luck!
I have impact, on other and on the government, I don't support what I am against and I work actively against it. I don't lay back and wish for others to act without doing something myself. I don't wait for others. I understand that from your position, where a strong government should fix you, that sounds extrem.
