Online leftists are so concerned with doing no wrong that they instead do no good. Yes, it is a bit exploitative to own modern chickens bred to produce ridiculous amounts of eggs at detriment to their body.
It’s also exploitative for humans to exist beyond very early pre-civilization states as any use of natural resources and metals represents a theft from the Earth that will never be restored in that humans lifespan.
But i can, and have, used those eggs to ease human suffering at a homeless shelter. I’ve used SPAM (yes, it’s horrific, I understand and agree. To say otherwise is missing the point) to the same effect.
Yes, using animal products is anti-communist at its core principle.
So is letting people starve in the street.
That’s not to jump on a slippery slope where the ends justify the means. But to be so concerned with well intentioned folks that treat animals with care whenever possible, while leftists are out there every day having to hide their actions and act in secrecy just to help folks…. I dunno.
