    counterfactuals can’t be proven. that’s the only fact that matters when the actually baseless claim that it would be worse without a few people buying beans is raised.

      If it was only a few people you wouldn’t be getting so annoyed about them existing.

      The real reason everyone hates vegans is that, deep down, we all know they’re right.

      I don’t know if you just found out about a new word or what but that means specifically “untruth” which isn’t something you’ve proven at all. You pretend that a graph showing meat production increasing proves that vegans haven’t changed anything and that’s about as far from proof as one can get. My term for that claim is “bullshit”.

      You came to this post highlighting people being shitty about social movements and you saw it as a great opportunity to be shitty about a specific social movement.

        if you had to look up counterfactuals, you probably aren’t qualified to discuss this right now.

          Ah I see, if I check my understanding of a word to confirm if I’m right, I shouldn’t talk to you. Yeah that does check out actually lol. You didn’t address the fact that you are overusing the word (and incorrectly) and have zero evidence for anything you’re claiming at all. Stay ignorant, troll.

              You claimed that rising meat production proves a random idea you had. So I don’t think you actually read/understand that paper yourself. Not to mention literally zero people see value in whatever biased ass point you think you’re making

                  Yes that is the random idea I’m talking about, professor. It absolutely doesn’t show anything like that. It does, however, make everyone think you’re an idiot.

                    meat production hasn’t decreased. therefore nothing can be said to have decreased it.
