The copium of the west about the Global South is glaring today. We are going to go down kicking and screaming, and it's fucking embarrassing.

This is too simplistic. A lot of online vegans are annoying, because of their behaviour not because of their veganism. There's no good argument against not eating meat. It's not good for the planet and a lot of meat isn't very good for human health. Veganism can be noble, but the behaviour....
