I support three policies regarding factory farming: https://twitter.com/marsxrobertson/status/1282612364844707840
1️⃣ Remove agricultural subsidies
2️⃣ Charge for externalities such as CO2eq emissions (methane)
3️⃣ Ban it outright

Just because some groups advocate for welfare improvements as a way to get their foot in the door with the public or corporations doesn’t mean that they have any desire to legitimize the use of animals. Rather, they believe, as has been my personal experience during my time in grassroots activism, that people are more willing to listen to your points and arguments if you meet them where they stand.
I believe that radical approach is much better.

Thank you for the generous comment.
I was coming from “fake news” background where click-bait titles and controversy gets you clicks and comments, but here only downvotes...
My style is often controversial and I’m definitely not sorry.
Just like environmentalist are talking about Polar Bear 🐻 losing natural habitat… For someone living on $1 per day, who don’t have passport, don’t have bank account, don’t have electricity—does it matter? I’m worried about catastrophic climate change.Animal industrial agriculture—waste of land, waste of water, CO2, agricultural subsidies—it’s TERRIBLE DISASTER. I’d love the market to decide:
market price for water
market price for CO2
no subsidies
There is market for premium meat! My personal view—I’m OK to have chickens and eat eggs in my own homestead. I’ll treat them well.

Global (baseline) Education Curriculum
Getting people aligned, avoiding division, humans on this planet are in the same team.
By creating a basic program and common understanding it will be much easier to implement any of the global policies required to handle climate change.
Some of the proposed subjects:
Literacy, numeracy
English. Alternatively: Latin and Esperanto are not really competitors, Chinese too difficult
Health, human body, food, nutrition
Nature, earth sciences, environment
Making, engineering, tinkering
Communication, relationships, culture, tolerance, other religions
History—learning from dudes like Hitler and Putin
(naturally, we need to be careful so that it is not hijacked by bad actors)
On the fundamental level humans around the world share so many values, everyone shares similar needs. Every major religion is against theft, murder, rape.
If we align education, that will help mitigate the conflicts and agree on short-term sacrifices.
(such as cutting CO2 emissions)
