Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

All 10 of the largest U.S. meat and dairy companies have lobbied against environmental and climate policies, resisting climate regulations, including rules on greenhouse gases and emissions reporting. This is according to a study by New York University, which examined the political influence of the 10 largest meat and dairy companies in the United States.

The vegan propaganda campaign is back at it again.

Stating uncomfortable facts about the world that people would otherwise gladly ignore.

You mean like the probably false article that started this discussion?

[–] Nevoic@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's clickbait but it's also absolutely true. I get it's easier for you to not do any research and continue to think it's "probably false".

My suggestion to you is instead of half-engaging, just fully close your eyes. Just continue living in your fantasy world and stop engaging with this kind of content, while the rest of us continue to try to solve these real issues.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And my suggestion to you is- read the other 50-100 or so comments where people provided factual rebuttals to this bullshit article.

Talk about fantasy worlds.

I’m going to block you now as I generally don’t entertain futile arguments with blowhard vegans.

[–] Nevoic@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

If there was any actual evidence against it you would've said "false" and not "probably false", but even in your own little make-believe world you couldn't bring yourself to that point.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Sharing propaganda.

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah! Those filthy vegans trying to get people to quit killing animals and promoting less suffering! Fucking vegans!

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cool. Maybe you’ll get a bit further if you didn’t bullshit people. It’s disrespectful and insulting that you need to lie to get people to follow your bullshit.

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No the real issue is you need to be told what's the right thing to do.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seems your issue is that you like to assume you have the authority to tell others how to live their lives.

You’re more than welcome to smell your own farts as much as you feel you need to- but if you think your smug bullshit has any sway here, you’re farting up the wrong tree.

[–] the_q@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you can't tell what's morally correct then talk to your fucking mom and dad because they did a shit job of teaching you. It has nothing to do with being smug or thinking highly of myself. It's that you lack the fucking basic functionality of thought to take information in, decide "hey this isn't right" and then do something about it. I'm sorry you're a piece of shit. I can't help that.

[–] Rhoeri@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

ROFL… you’re why people hate vegans.
