Observing the anti-AI backlash as someone who has spent any amount of time trying to get people to stop funding animal agriculture is… interesting. So many of the criticism/ about emissions and water use ring a bit hollow when you’ve seen people hand-wave that away for years when it benefited them.

Many great thinkers have realised the deep moral significance of the subjective.
Tragically, most have failed to realise that the vast majority of subjective perspectives are not human.

Vegan plastic is terrible you guys. Not like regular non-vegan plastic that covers most of your food, is in all of your clothes, your electronics, your shoes, and saturates pretty much every aspect of your life as a consumer… It’s a totally different plastic and it’s Worse and it’s all their fault.

Uk hypocrisy to the core. Such is immorality by deceit. Perfection of the UK Govts
Fur farming is banned in the UK, yet we import cruelty from abroad. Animals endure cages, gassing, electrocution, and toxic chemicals. Let’s close this loophole and align our laws with compassion and responsibility. Sign to ban fur imports 👇

Petition: Ban Fur Imports into the UK
We ask the Government to ban the import and sale of all fur products in the UK. Fur farming is banned here due to cruelty, yet imports support suffering abroad. We believe that this ban would align UK laws with ethical and environmental responsibility, closing the loophole that fuels the fur trade.
