@Drengor Exactly. I believe boycotting is the first step. And to my surprise, I believe it is the one of the most brushed off, inconsistent things that supposed activists pay any mind to- these days.
Beyond that, is action.
Walking the walk, more than just.. talking the talk. Or, engaging in boycott.
I used to be vegan; for the sake of boycott toward meat production, and the excess- as well as terrible/confined treatment of animals. For capital, and food that isn't even good for you. i.e. Chicken farms that abuse, and harvest chickens only for their eggs.
Now, I have a special needs dog. That, without the patience, and compassion from myself- would be put down. Since I have gotten my new companion, I have drifted from my supposed importance I held toward my act of Veganism. And have now begun to eat animal products again within a tasteful, and non wasteful manner. I still pay much mind, to my consumption, and support of the meat, and animal based food production.
With this type of realistic tactfulness, I believe that I am aiding toward the cause I have felt so passionate about for years in a much more powerful way. And actually making more of a difference, by having my hand in the pot more intimately.
Just because I wasn't eating the burgers random people had already purchased, and given to me based on their own thought of kindness toward a traveler, wasn't helping the cause. At that point, the capital was already spent. Thus, giving support to these companies, and/or fast food chains. I was participating in the waste of such, and I was still hungry. So one day, I decided to eat the burger patty, instead of just the starch.
This was the day I began to no longer be so staunch, about ideology. And be, what I believed in.
