Not eating meat won't change the systemic problems but it will mean fewer animals will be subject to the industry.

more animals are breed and slaughtered every year than the year before. being vegan has never reduced that

Yeah no shit, but the number would be even higher if fewer people were vegan.

this can not be proven. counterfactuals cannot be proven at all.

"Your honor, it's true that the deceased died of blood loss after I stabbed them, however, the idea that they would've survived had I not stabbed them is a counterfactual and therefore cannot be proven at all."

No, it's literally what you said. Is what I described not a counterfactual?
