how do these activist get started? i mean who or what instigates the activism, and the sheeples that follow?
during the vietnam war there were people against it and spoke up and i got that, but some of this stuff these days i don't get.
My step sister is an animal activist like this. She has always struggled socially. About 5 years ago she watched a few documentaries and then became vegan. She started following a big vegan personality around here. That vegan personality posts a lot about local farms. Then she started joining this person at farms protesting. And now she's posting up with signs out front of farms weekly. Before you know it she will be freeing my animals.
My farm accounts post about this kind of stuff all the time. I try and bring light to it. Try and explain to the people that follow my account why and how most farmers care. But then I pick up an almost dead calf off the auction floor. And then people see it. Then a whole new online post gets started. One about how the farmers that "care" allowed that to happen.
