    implicitly comparing Jews to cattle

    Yes, it’s a tasteless comparison. I’m a German. Hello neighbor, nice to live in peace.

    The comparison also falls flat because while the Holocaust was a genocide, meant to eradicate, factory farming is the polar opposite.

    The population size of factory farmed animals is usually way above natural levels, because we farm them. A philosopher even called it an evolutionary win for the farmed species (which does not justify any harm done to individuals).

    There are more ways to express ‘very bad’ than comparing to the Holocaust, and many reasons not to, if you understand it.

      You’re right, it’s so much fucking worse than the Holocaust by orders of magnitude. At least the Nazis weren’t raping women to keep the Holocaust perpetually going.
