Some American Jews. Mostly the women.

Unless they can make it also kill an animal, I ain't interested. The suffering is necessary for the flavor.

This just sounds like nimbyism dressed up as anticapitalist sentiment. Of course climate change is driving new business opportunities and economic development. Of course we're going to continue expanding resource extraction. You want scooters and cell phones? You want electricity and plumbing? You don't want a factory or construction site in your backyard, sure, but that's not a criticism that's just a whine.

I don't understand the sarcasm here. My comment was perfectly relevant to the OPs question. Yours sounds condescending. Are you being condescending? Because that's not very nice. I eat the rude.

It's literally and demonstrably raising awareness. So the fuck what if it's exlploitative, tons of much more important stuff is.

The reason this is even in the newsfeed is intersectionality, not substance.

I'm perfectly happy to give orthographic dominion to Webster. They can be our Academie Francaise. They can control the definition drift. And the pedants can use their educational privilege to suppress the poors. As it should be.

I didn't say they weren't. I just reject the notion that proper definitions aren't gatekeeping. I'm not joining the above argument. I understand the definition is based on usage and the usage has changed. Most humans are morons and don't know how to use words properly so they let language change over time.

Not false, just so broad and nonspecific as to be more of a dismissive slur than a categorization
