“The world is different than what it was 20 years ago,” Curran said. “You know, social media changes people.”

Sure, however there is certainly another factor.

Maybe it’s having an insurrectionist, pedophile, lying fraudster enriching his family to the tune of billions as he starts an unnecessary war, pisses all of our allies off and watches his own country tailspin as he wipes his ass with the constitution and freely does so because of a complicit republican congress. Let’s also not forget the sexual abuse, geopolitical extortion, political revenge, misogyny, climate denial, stochastic terrorism, racism…. Did I miss anything?

    There was a shirt my wife used to have, “Real environmentalists don’t eat meat.” We would get some pissy looks from people, even at earth day festivals which was amusing. The slogan does generalize to a degree, but in terms of the typical western diet, it is difficult to make much of a case against it. The cons seriously outweigh the perceived benefits at the end of the day.

    So, not really unpopular for those who have invested some real time honestly evaluating the environmental footprint they leave. But for the majority of the population, it’s a pretty inconvenient reality to come to terms with.
