      That’s unfortunate, yet not a separate issue from animal farming. They are interconnected, and we can’t fix one without fixing the other.

      To get to the point where society pressures ruling class to ban airplanes despite best lobbying efforts, we need to shift the Overton window.

      Right now, the Overton window is rather conservative, with most people considering any climate action that requires slightest drop in quality of life completely unacceptable.

      Every successful radical climate action, including veganism, helps normalize idea of nature preservation over convenience in public consciousness, so movement can eventually take on more entrenched capital protected interests like jets.
