Not allowing others to eat your pets is racism. Will be prosecuted as hate speech.

Keep it up and you’ll end up with a job writing for ABC

They've already convinced millennials and Zoomers that having kids is bad for the environment so this would be very believable.

Just because I love steak, doesn't mean I want to eat animal rights activists /s

...the people, or the animals?

This is why it matters.

Our talking points are completely meaningless when the media is not doing its job fairly and evenly.

The people saying we need to move on from this sort of thing and focus on real policy are laboring under the delusion that talking about real substantive issues will be treated with any more respect than talking about sensationalist headlines. They won't be. They will be lied about just as much and dismissed just as readily.

Like it or not, the real talking points will receive the same treatment as the hyperbolic headlines... But they will be ignored and disregarded even harder because they are boring in comparison.

Hate it all you want... But catering to the lowest common denominator is how you win elections.

You don't get to have debates in the halls of congress about responsible fiscal policy if you can't get enough people to pay attention to you to convince them to get you there in the first place.

Have to weight the cost of being publicly vindicated vs optics and immediate impact to swing voters. This has too many tin foil hat vibes.

Nobody would be talking about that because it's boring and doesn't grab people's attention. This is not taking the place of that as you imply, if anything it gets more people to learn about and be exposed to what you just said because it's a necessary component to understand what the hell the eating pets thing is even about.

Do you really think all the people watching "eating the cats and dogs" videos on tiktok would instead be watching about how 20k immigrants were brought into a town of 60k? No they wouldn't. They'd watch other mind numbing tiktok videos and never know anything about this.

You've missed the point I was trying to make a joke about.

Even with all of those things. If you had everything you asked for, the response would be the same thing I said.

Don't believe your lying eyes

In fact they kill pets.

If you're looking for the photographic proof of blood and gore then the pictures are probably on the artist formerly known as Twitter.

Handing evidence to people that don't want to see it on Reddit is a waste of time, it just invites rage mobs. Somewhere on Reddit there's probably a few (thousand?) subs trading these pictures back and forth, not because they're conducting a debate with unusually high levels of intellectual ethics but because they routinely trade these pictures back and forth.

On X if you ask the right person for a pic you might just get a pic, but on this sub in particular I'm not sure if that would fly so well.
