A study shows Australians would rather take other actions to help the environment than give up meat.
Participants cite a lack of vegetarian options when dining out, despite Australia having more than ever, as a barrier to the diet.
Researchers hope the study will highlight reasons behind people’s reluctance to reduce meat consumption.
And that one certainly isn’t serious
i wonder how quickly capitalism would fall if every liberal who pretended to be against it but tut-tutted the idea of it being overthrown would just shut the fuck up
Whose pretending to be against it? I’m for tighly regulated capitalism, coupled with some public ownership of natural monopolies.
so you’re against capitalism
It must be nice and simple to see the whole world in black and white terms. You should definitely try getting to grips with nuance though. It makes things annoyingly complicated and messy, but is ultimately rewarding.
Publicly owned monopolies are antithetical to capitalism by definition but go off
So you are looking at a largely capitalist economy, but with a few natural monopolies - water supply, being one example - being in public ownership.
As an example, the UK is generally considered a capitalist economy, notwithstanding the fact that its largest employer- the NHS - is publicly owned and operated.
NHS isn’t a monopoly
That was intended an illustration of how the existence of one or more large state-run organisations does not mean it isn’t a capitalist system. If you prefer something else - the UK has effectively renationalised parts of the rail system
Regulated capitalism is still capitalism
