    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.

    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.

      That’s an interesting hypothesis but you’re never going to see and have never seen the meat industry “doing nothing” in order to test that hypothesis.

      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.

    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.

    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.
