Is this the vegan utopia we’ve been dreading? You don’t win friends with salad

    Decadent lifestyle? Is that some kind of joke? Who the hell is leading a decadent lifestyle in this economy? I’m lucky to even have a roof over my head, and the streets are crawling with homeless people who were only slightly less lucky!

    Direct your complaints to the rich people who created the problem and have the power to solve it. Blaming me for circumstances far outside my control is useless.

      Decadent lifestile compared to the people whose products you buy because you “can’t afford” to pay people in your own country.

      Guess why products produced in your own country cost so much? Because the workers there get paid lots of money (when compared to the rest of the world).

        You continue to insist on blaming the systematic impoverishment and exploitation of the working class upon members of that same class, instead of the actual perpetrators. I am forced to assume that this is intentional, and that you are trying to sow division and infighting among the working class.

        If my assessment of your intentions is correct, shame on you. If not, you should think long and hard about what you did to create that impression, and what you can do differently in the future.

        Either way, this will be the last time I speak to you.

          You think I’m “trying to sow division and infighting among the working class”?

          Try taking off your tinfoil hat for a while.
