Maybe they mean privilege wrt education? As i understand it, it takes a non-zero amount of knowledge about nutrition to substitute meat completely and not be deficient in something. But I'm a life-long omnivore so I may be wrong

Yea, Bernie just kicked off an investigation against Novo Nordisk regarding price inflations on medication (over $1000) when it costs ~$300 in Canada and Europe (I'm fudging the figures cause I cant remember). The man's only got so much time in the day

Sounds like the tree was due to be felled. This artist arguably saved the tree by turning into art. While he did oil it to keep it from rotting, he oiled it using a plant based oil safe for proximity to water ways. This sounds like as close to a win as anyone's gonna get in these circumstances

What do you think needs to happen for them to stop being attracted to the hate?
I've seen a similar thing: rural people talking about all sorts of progressive ideas like UBI, student debt relief, and other policies for helping others (sometimes without even knowing that they're talking about progressive ideas) yet always go back to "immigrants this" or "elites that".

That's a great point. I was being kind of reductive.

Perhaps religion's most zealous followers tend to be people who have trouble contextualising information? That would certainly help explain why the "I got mine proceeds to pull up ladder " attitude is so prevalent there...
Anyway, I don't want to come across like I'm arguing with you.
