PETA is 100% a psyop to make animal liberation look ridiculous. I dont have a source but there’s no fuckin way they aren’t.
[can’t form sentence headache] exploiting third world meat and fur third world labor. animal liberation for white oppressor. incoherent non intersectional liberation under capitalism. could be psy-op could be just euro-american liberals feeling bad about piggy but unable to help piggy.
someone recommend me a book about veganism and socialism or imperialism, I don’t know what I’m talking about I just hate white people and it might be the right answer
Either an op, or just trolls looking for attention instead of actually furthering any sort of vegan cause. My personal favorite was them going after Warhammer 40k because some of the models had a fur cloak on them.
Morally the worst thing present in the setting
A lot of exposes on industrial animal abuse do come from PETA though. Maybe they’re just very good at opsec - publicly do outrageous shit and have everyone focus on your dumb stunts and make fun of you so your more dedicated members infiltrate meat farms, breeding farms, pet shops, testing centers, etc. without anyone suspecting it.
They do hundreds if not thousands of campaigns a year. Something is gonna happen once in a while that irks you. By all means, go through their Twitter feed and get a rough idea of what they do.
You don’t say?
People who wear leather are more dangerous than you think
They don’t have the balls to put the royals in any of these photos which is a shame because that would actually get my respect. It would probably get more coverage that way, too.
Toss Prince Andrew in there to really get some traction
I know this works because Peta’s target audience are urban bougie liberals, but I would love if they just went full animal liberation and started pointing to specific capitalists as the problem. Instead of whatever this is. Out of all world leaders you’re gonna choose Kim Jong-Un, leader of a country almost entirely separated from global capitalism and fur trades.
I’m vegan and I distrust vegan liberals
Yeah fuck whatever libs in PETA made this milquetoast shit
this makes kim and leather jackets look fucking awesome, this is a bad vegan ad. This makes me angry because I’m Vegan
Bold choice to use these guys while POTUS and the US’ best ally in the world is doing a flagrant genocide
I noticed all the libs quickly stfu about supposed genicides by Russia and China in the wake of what Israel has done. kinda makes it hard to twist people’s arms when you can be like “so you think these are the same?”
Pretty on brand for PETA.
Well, I have to say that I don’t like Putin because he’s a reactionary capitalist, but having Kim in an ad like this just reeks of lib shit. What has he done outside of the usual ”he’s an authoritarian evil dictator” lines?
Did they also criticize Bush and Obama for destroying Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya while not being vegan or is that just reserved for the non-western leaders? Disclaimer:
btw, so it’s not like I’m a ”PETA bad” lib, but to me this is lib bootlicking garbage.I also think it’d be more effective to show Biden in a leather jacket, maybe show some of those turkey pardoning rituals. That’d be more along the ”people who wear leather are dangerous” lines, but something tells me they don’t want to show the POTUS as dangerous 🙄
They really, really believe that he’ll have your entire family blown up with an anti-aircraft gun or eaten alive by dogs or something if you speak out against the regime. It’s basically religious dogma (insert parenti quote).
is the picture of putin ai? it looks really off
Yup lol
You could take that exact slogan and use it to sell leather because it makes it sound badass.
Another one on the “so far up your own ass you don’t realize how normal people perceive you” pile
This will only appeal to politics-mainlining libs who are already sympathetic to the message; i.e. the last people you need to spend effort on convincing.
Yes but they aren’t trying to convince people, they’re just keeping the big donors happy
Going to be honest it makes me want to buy a leather jacket.
A fake/faux one of course, because there is no way I can afford a real one
EXTREMELY TEPID, OBVIOUS TAKE INBOUND:
you can make vegan points without reinforcing the US state department’s agenda
Hey how about this, get the US to drop the blockade, and I am sure Kim will trade you all his leather
