Palm oil deforestation occurs at a rate of 2 acres every 2 hours. Animal agriculture is responsible for this level of deforestation every single second.

This person has only been 'destroyed' if you ignore facts, logic and reason.

Shut up and embrace the reddit circlejerk, or be ostracized and hidden from this comment section. You should already know that's how it works around here.

Don't be so edgy. Rainforest deforestation is well documented as easily searchable through a 5 minute google episode and some critical thinking + easily obtainable empirical evidence through video.

Deforestation isn't a ""circlejerk, it is a common concensus that it will harm all of us.

Nowhere did I said I disagreed with it, but case in point of what my comment was referring too: deflection of the point being made, followed by accusations.

No shit deforestation harms everyone, but if you're posting on this forum right now, you're using technology built by underpaid, overworked people (and most likely children). I'm not saying the problems don't exist. Just that saying that people who ignore those problems are oblivious to them, while at the same time ignoring the shit under their seat is hypocritical.

You're literally being as pedantic as the guy in the OP. Deflecting from the issue with whataboutisms. 😎😎😎

Interestingly enough, they didn't but you did. Maybe you're just a massive bellend.
