It’s good old “everything is now illegal” law, selective enforcement does the rest. Straight out of the young dictatorship handbook

Yo ho

Does it hold up in 2025?

This is true. No cookie banners, no ads. Hardly ever a problem

This is so weird. Do people realize animals need to eat? Why don’t we eat that food directly? Eating animals makes for less food, not more. Like how 75% of soy is cattle feed, and then vegans get blamed for deforestation for soy beans. It’s ridiculous. Willful ignorance

20 years is a bit short but… Eating animals will be regarded as highly immoral, “but everyone knew those animals suffered, right?”, on the same level as we now judge slavery

I also wouldn’t know what they mean. Fascist takeover sounds like something I would notice?

I’m Dutch. I pronounce the -en at de ends of words, including the n. If you don’t know, that’s like 10% of all Dutch words

I see now. Kinda small argument for such a big claim

Whoa whoa, fascist messaging? Dafuq?

I’m happy for you. I drive an electric scooter to work and my husband by bicycle. We have a car but only for longer trips. I hope car sharing becomes more accessible where I live, because I don’t need to have my own car if I only use it occasionally

I use “fighting the long defeat”:

“I have fought the long defeat and brought other people on to fight the long defeat, and I’m not going to stop because we keep losing. Now I actually think sometimes we may win.” ~Paul Farmer

Do what you must, but don’t expect results. Expect defeat, embrace it, and then persist through it.

I had to look it up. Thank you! I learned something new

By the way, I think it’s quite different than what that other commenter was asking.

This is only a dilemma when your brain is on capitalism
