Hey comrades,

I’m a part of a discord server called Vegan Theory Club that’s run by mix of leftist tendencies. It’s a theory club that’s explicitly leftist and vegan, but we talk about more than just the book of the month.

We just started reading Eternal Treblinka - Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust by Charles Patterson, which we voted for. (Our last book was Kapital.) Right now is the perfect time to join!

We’d love to have you!

    This isn’t about getting a new commodity. This is about making better use of the limited resources on our planet. We must count our lucky stars that we were born in a world where innovation can solve many of our problems.

    Hey, I’m not against revolution. Not at all. But you’re too shortsighted. What seems to be bothering you is that in the USA the capitalist class is investing in this new technology. Well, in China you have quite a few universities kickstarting projects on lab grown meat with government funds. One prominent center of food research is Wuhan, of COVID fame.

    Stop seeing the world as black and white. Stop comparing an ideal against an imperfect reality, as doing so you will always be left with the reality coming off as an undesirable second option. Even in the most socialist of societies meat consumption was never halted.

      We already have a solution, eat plants. Stop making excuses about waiting for some unnecessary far off technology.

        Stop making excuses …

        Nobody here is making excuses. It’s you who is rejecting a technology because it isn’t feasible now.

        Eating plants isn’t a solution. As you won’t get everyone on board. Guess what is also a solution? People no longer procreating. Like that we can finally give animals the room they deserve. Just decrease our population to a million strong.

        Technology advances fast. We went from bulky desktop computers with dial up internet to smartphones twice as fast in two decades.

        Stem cell grown meat isn’t far off. Given the news I’ve heard over the past few years, I’d say it’s a decade away from being bought from stores and two decades away from being able to replace meat.
