Collective abstaining does. the trick is convincing you that organizing can’t happen and even if it did, it would be pointless. Meanwhile the people who run the factory farms are highly organized and have daily meetings on how to get you to eat more.
Did you look at the graphs though or just assume that discussions end if you post graphs? You can easily see where and deduce why meat production has grown over the past half a century. It has nothing do with my argument that enough people choosing not to eat meat at the same time = less money for meat producers. So you have to be saying there is a disconnect between input (people eating meat) and output (production of meat). Not a strawman just a logical conclusion of your point.
You also misunderstand what a contradiction is and how it differs from a logical contradiction. Don’t mind me if I go out on a limb about the implications of your words if you don’t even know basic commie jargon while calling yourself commie on a commie site.

We don’t even need to reach into theory to define this as a contradiction. Here is their comment further up the thread.
one can eat meat and not want animals to be abused.
This is true (many people do both of these things, as many people do many contradictory things), but it’s obviously contradictory to not want animals to be abused while buying products of animal abuse. That’s it, that’s the entire argument here. The position that they’re defending is that there is no contradiction of any kind there, which is ridiculous. I think this person is just trying to cause arguments so they can pick them apart to try to cause more, as @onoira@lemmy.dbzer0.com said.

So the meat industry is a force of nature, some fundamental part of the universe that exists and grows without input from consumers?
American realism strikes again.

What’s a strawman?
