If you’re gonna cite the problem being that the farm is a “factory farm”, then the alternative is to, obviously, make it a humane farm.

Even with knowledge of factory farms, the general public (non-vegan) don't seriously seem to be pushing back and pushing for a change in farming.

Regardless of what vegans' end goal is, spreading awareness doesn't seem to be getting people to go for more modest changes either.

That footage will come out. Then people will protest. And nothing will change.

My point is that it is not productive to engage in people who have no empathy, because it won't actually accomplish anything. It is a wasted effort.

It's sort of along the lines of the Serenity Prayer. They fall under the "things I cannot change."

Anything but metric!

The news just keeps getting worse, doesn't it?

Desperate laborers

This is also why the right wing is so upset about falling fertility rates. Have more ~~babies~~ future desperate laborers. And of course current laborers become more desperate when they have more mouths to feed.

The normalization of long commuting has been such a disservice to society for many reasons. I guess you can add this one to the list.

I have no idea how to deal with people with no empathy

By not engaging with them. No, I'm not going to try and "change their minds", because I consider them to be a lost cause. I learned this years ago as a vegan.

For sake of mental health, it's best to just move on and engage with those who are more receptive and show a shred of humanity.
