That’s great information to have, thank you. I was actually already boycotting fifa, but didn’t realize that’s where the money was going.

I know it’s exhausting, but leading with something like that instead of an accusation would be way more effective. If you can copy/paste it, or make a post about it somewhere so others can share it as well, it might be easier.

I’m not trying to put more emotional labor on people who are already drained by the subject, but it’s just the reality of what’s effective for actually changing people’s minds.

If I want to actually make someone think about changing their eating habits, I can’t just say it’s fucked up to enslave animals, I have to pull up research about, for example, what happens to make chicks at egg laying facilities and read through it to make sure it’s valid, before posting information the other person likely didn’t know that might plant a seed for later. It sucks, I’ve gotten more sensitized to animal cruelty since I went vegan (I know, I know, “they’ll tell you,” but I don’t know what better angle to approach this from), but the other way just alienates people.
