9True.
On the other hand, this whole argument rests on double standards - the loss of jobs due to the industrialisation of agriculture is not used as an argument against it - more as an argument for it (efficiency discourse).

I wouldn't call the average meat industry worker an oppressor. It's a highly exploitative and traumatizing line of work that preys on the desperate a lot of the time.
