This video has a content warning: lots of flesh, organs, and milk, and assholes.

I am going to have to insist on a hypothesis:

Fascism is carnism in decline.

The youtuber there is not vegan, unfortunately, but I do appreciate the effort to point out a few of the associations between ketobros and carnivores to fascism. She manages to talk about class/status in the last third of the video; much less about hierarchy.

„Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is continuing his life’s work of making public health more precarious as the Food and Drug Administration, which he oversees, is suspending its quality-control testing of raw fluid milk and other dairy products due to budget cuts, according to Reuters.“

A pilot study found that acidification of raw whole milk (with citric acid) to a pH of 4.1-4.2 for 6 hours resulted in complete inactivation of the bird flu (H5N1) virus.

There was an indication that the effectiveness of inactivation may be dependent on fat content of the milk.

These pH levels are within the range resulting from fermentation (4.0-4.5).

Pasteurization, and even exposure to lower (but elevated) temperatures completely inactivates the bird flu virus in raw milk.

Only 56% of Americans understand that raw milk is risky, or why. And this isn't just about bird flu. They don't realize there's an increased risk of salmonella, E. Coli, listeria and other kinds of potentially deadly food borne illness. And 32% believe that pasteurization is an unnecessary intrusion of government into our lives.

And a new preprint paper coming out of Cornel university suggests that aging raw milk Cheeses may not inactivate H5N1.
