  You mean like vegans teaming up with butchers to fight against the meat-industry?

    I mean yeah that kinda works as a metaphor. Imagine if vegans and butchers teamed up to destroy Tyson foods before going back to being enemies

      That does not make sense. Vegans teaming up with vegetarians may make a bit more sense, but even in this is not plausible because vegetarians are ok with killing animals, they are just not ok with eating them.

        The key is finding the axis along which your interests align, and finding an individual enemy whose motivations are enough to trust. If you find for instance a halal butcher who the corporate player is trying to crush, you might find yourself someone with means and motivation to help you improve the world somewhat before your division reasserts itself. It isn’t so much ‘let’s compromise’ as it is ‘we might never get along, but destroying the meat corporation is a matter of survival for both of us’

        vegetarians are ok with killing animals, they are just not ok with eating them.

        what?

        vegetarianism simply means not eating meat. i don’t understand where did you get that all people who don’t eat meat have the same motivation (whatever that’s supposed to be) and present that like a fact.

        i’m a vegetarian because i’m not ok with killing animals.
