Not once have I thought about PETA since becoming a communist.
I have said and believed slanderous things I am now regretting all at once. I am much too high for this
It's funny how much PETA lives rent free in every carnist's head, it's basically inversely proportional to how much you actually hear about them in real life.
Peta is a symbol of the unresolved contradiction between a carnist's self image as an ethical person and their knowledge of the horrors of industrial agribusiness. That contradiction is what haunts them to defensiveness

Also, like, what happens to the male chicks? Are they allowed to live to old age?
Edit: to answer your question, PETA is fine. They're an NGO. Ya, they don't threaten capitalism, but unlike nearly every NGO they don't work to strengthen it. I've done activism with them and they're VERY generous with offering help and funding, which isn't the case with other non-profits. They legitimately care about animals, less so their careers. A small percentage of their bagillion campaigns are considered cringy, but at least they do shit to make animal abusers feel uncomfortable.
Non vegans feel sad that they're being told to stop hurting sentient beings, so they repeat right-wing talking points.
