PETA stole their url from People Eating Tasty Animals. Never forget.

[-] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 9 hours ago

Superior conspiracy theory:

Everything stupid regional PETA organizations do is amplified a thousandfold by the trillion dollar global meat industry. As a result, you will never hear anything good PETA does without looking for it deliberately.

Same with a whole bunch of other NGOs and other industries but to lesser extents.

This is just an actual fact.

The website "Peta kills animals" was found to be sponsored indirectly by an animal agriculture lobby.

It's frustrating how people just believe every bad thing about PETA without questioning who is pushing that narrative.

I don’t think trying to changer Mariner’s mind is a good idea…

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 22 points 17 hours ago

if Crowder's entire legacy ends up being "That guy in the 'Debate me' meme" I'll be pretty happy

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 11 points 14 hours ago

Not me. People like him should be remembered for the harm they caused, not as safe clowns sanitized by memes.

Forgetting the past is how we repeat it.

[-] beveradb@sh.itjust.works 25 points 17 hours ago

I mean this is the first time I'm learning the name, I only recognise this person as the guy in the debate me meme 🤷

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 23 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

he's a former child actor, failed stand up, turned internet rage baiter who mostly just says incredibly racist garbage on a 'politics' podcast and refuses to debate adults.

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 7 points 17 hours ago

Is he the guy who shoved stuff up his ass on camera to own the libs?

[-] decolo@piefed.social 11 points 17 hours ago

No that was Vice founder Gavin McInnes

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

also founded the proud boys. which he also disavowed after they became too racist for him.... an openly racist man.

It was Gavin mccines.

[-] Snowclone@lemmy.world 13 points 17 hours ago

don't compare assholes to that useless piece of shit!

[-] RickyRigatoni@piefed.zip 4 points 12 hours ago

Shit has use as fertilizer.

And in some places, insulation for barns

The main thing I remember about PETA is that they made a very funny parody of Pokémon Black and White that was clearly written by someone who enjoyed the games but was frustrated that the games don't commit to honestly engaging with the idea that Pokémon battling is animal abuse even though it's, like, a central plot point, and then cretins with no media literacy ran with "PETA hates Pokémon" as the main coverage of it.

[-] Godort@lemmy.ca 26 points 17 hours ago

If this were true it would be one of the most effective propaganda campaigns ever executed.

I think it's far more likely that PETA is just a collection of incompetent weirdos and the meat industry wins by doing nothing.

[-] bearforcepilot@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 hour ago

Not at all. Lots of money goes into making sure the public has a negative view of animal rights groups.

[-] Dippy@beehaw.org 5 points 16 hours ago

I mean, it only really takes one or two in the leadership to encourage the worst impulses to set the organization on that trajectory. Yeah everyone else would have to be open to it, but its decently easy to weaponize a person's righteousness. Its not necessarily what happened, but its plausible.

[-] DonkeyStar@lemmy.world 7 points 14 hours ago

It’s rough, because people often say “Nobody actually believes ____,” but no matter how stupid it is, someone does believe that, and they’re running a facebook group for like-minded people. Even if it were some kind of psyop, I’d bet that they could cut payroll pretty early when the volunteers started knocking on the door.

[-] its_kim_love@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 18 hours ago

My one conspiracy theory is that the secret service accidentally shot jfk after the chaos of the magic bullet. It's a fuck up so big it demands lifetime secrecy.

[-] buttmasterflex@piefed.social 21 points 18 hours ago

But JFK wasn't assassinated. His head just did that.

[-] CMDR_Horn@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

You and I watched the same documentary me thinks.

I also fully buy in to that theory.

It was all engineered by Aaron Spelling in order to make The House of Yes as a vehicle for Tori.

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 11 points 17 hours ago

Poe’s Law applies. Even if the meat industry got the ball rolling, it would have become self-sustaining on the strength of people to whom the idea appeals on a psychological level.

[-] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 12 points 18 hours ago

We need to go further. The world is secretly run by cows. This conspiracy within a conspiracy is just an attempt to hide the fact that it's people. BEEF IS PEOPLE!

[-] grillgamesh@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 18 hours ago

no no no......clearly its the hypnotoad.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!!

All hail the hypnotoad!

[-] CapuccinoCoretto@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago

All hail hypnotoad!

The founder of PETA seems like a legit crazy true believer from what I remember. Hard to fake that level of mania.
