My MIL is this kind of extrovert. She assumes that if someone isn't constantly talking to her that they hate her.

Look lady: I love your daughter to death! I love you to death! I DON'T HAVE ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS IN MY LIFE!! And you KNOW that!! Trust me, when I do, I WILL LET YOU KNOW!! In the meantime, business as usual and I don't have any opinions on anything outside of my purview!

I swear, if ever she was forced to sit in front of a group of people in silence, her head might explode.

Exactly! Additionally, the visual cues that are obviously being used paint a very different picture.

Propaganda isn't really difficult. It just requires a predisposed audience.

I love this. It always reminds me of Fleetwood Mac, and that's always a good thing!

The most important lesson I have learned throughout my career is that large corporations are not worth working for. Too much "HR" interference.

The best work environments I have ever been a part of is when I worked for smaller businesses that were still made up of actual people and not nameless/faceless/soulless "corporate HR departments", who's sole purpose is to "make corpo more money no matter the means".

"So in short eat vegan like a poor vegan not like a rich person who thinks veganism is trendy"

But in the context of this conversation, wouldn't eating like a poor vegan rely heavily on buying products that also have a heavy impact on the environment?

You would have to buy cheaper products which come from mass produced farms that use TONS and TONS of water! And generate TONS and TONS of carbon emissions during production of those products.

To be vegan AND ~~advocate for conservation~~(you can advocate for something no matter your own behavior. That's the wrong word to use) to claim that your lifestyle is better for the environment than your non-vegan counterparts, you have to have money.
