Wouldn't sexism be even more prevalent in right-wing spaces? Or would you say that it's pretty evenly distributed over the political spectrum?

You're still killing animals mainly for fun, which is not ethical no matter how you turn it. Humans generally do not need to eat meat, as they're omnivores. Keeping animals uses up large amounts of land and produces unnecessary greenhouse gases. With the amount of people and cattle being held on this planet, something has got to change in our behaviour in order to get things more balanced and keep a healthy planet for future generations. You try to keep old habits intact, which are not sustainable in the current world. Perhaps you don't want to know about this take on things, but I'm presenting them anyway, hopefully it will have an influence on your future thinking.

Looks like you're the one posting bitching hostile judgement here.

This isn't about catfood, it's about moderation.

What I didn't see in the reactions yet is that a lot of Americans do not want any government involvement at all. Save for things that are supposedly written down in the Bible. The Republican party is providing just that, anti-establishment, anti-intellectual and don't forget: anti-minority. Just people being tough and dare to support the party who will turn the clock back to when times were perceived to be better. Same sentiment is present in Europe by the way, like it was a century ago.

The solutions are there, but nobody will risk loss of power or popularity. But no worries, nature will strike back harder and harder.

Biggest thing against nuclear power is the cost associated with it. Other, sustainable sources of energy like wind and solar, combined with hydrogen and batteries, are way cheaper due to their simplicity. Thorium reactors are a nice idea but need so much development (costs) that they will take a while to become a reality, if ever at all. Probably nuclear fusion will be available sooner than thorium fission for power generation, which also needs decades of development. And then there's still the problem of nuclear waste. Maybe not a huge problem, but still one without a viable solution.

That's no way to behave as a guest.

Still need to investigate the sustainability of it before I would try, but presently there's no produce on sale here. But I'm pretty used to dishes without meat by now, so there's no direct need. I suppose it would be more targeted towards current meateaters, hopefully they stop destroying life on the planet at some point.

You left out eradication from climate change or biodiversity loss. Not instant, but an even less zero chance. Quite likely, in fact.

Just go eat plant-based all together, so we won't have these problems that endanger the existence of life on our planet. Including humans.

What struck me most in this early footage is that everyone in it has definitely passed away by now. With later films you usually can't be sure. Makes you realise even more that the available time we have on this planet is quite limited.
