CW: how the dairy/meat industry works.
It's basically the same. The driving factor of mass death in the dairy industry is that to make cows produce milk they've gotta get pregnant and calf, so you end up with a bunch of cows that are too old to produce enough milk for market and a big of calves that won't produce milk, ever.
In the West, those "extra", "non-productive" animals get killed (the dairy industry is the meat industry). In India, this is still often the case as not everyone is veg and not everyone who's non-veg avoids beef. But there are enough people that refuse beef for there to be an impetus to follow a "traditional" alternative: you kick the animal out of the dairy for it to fend for itself. In reality, they tend to just starve to death over a long period of time.
For there to be dairy without a culling there would need to be like 30 pet cows for every 1 dairy cow. Assuming the cost of raising the cow is what people pay for, that would mean milk costing 10X more.
Most veg Indian food has dairy added tho. Avoiding ghee is like going through an obstacle course of nice aunties and uncles trying to feed you. And don't even get me started on curd.
Indian vegans also often use substitutes. I'm for vegan food unity: don't harm and exploit animals and I support you.
The only thing vegans need to supplement with is B12. Everything else can be had from a balanced diet.
Cult behavior
Oh I see. Not sure what they mean by "pay once", that was what made me think it was about buying software.
Brave has been hyped as a privacy browser despite having several major privacy failures baked into it repeatedly. It's 100% hype. You get the same level of privacy on paper by installing Chromium with an ad blocker and tweaking a couple settings. Firefox has better privacy defaults and is better with an ad blocker installed. Chromium has a slight edge on security (FF needs to really push tab isolation harder) but if privacy is your main concern I would always recommend FF.
Money is involved because people want to make a living off of their project. Also, every major browser has been backed with huge amounts of funding because supporting a browser is very difficult.
That said, that doesn't mean every browser project is good, either. Just that it's reasonable to see why people would want to get income from their work.
PS the Brave CEO sucks so I'm not sympathizing with him here.
Crypto is the dumbest hill to die on.
It's tens of thousands of unregistered securities hype bubbles built on half-baked tech. There is nothing of value there.
And Brave is just Chromium with a faux privacy mask.
If that's the kind of logic that convinces you of things, you should check out all of the other people saying the same thing as me.
Basically your one job as a leftist when it comes to capitalist propaganda is to not unquestioningly repeat it and guess what you're doing, lib. And it's in the realm of orientalism to boot. Not exactly distinguishing yourself.
If you're not listening to Bambu 24/7 don't @ me.
