2017 was after Morrissey’s lurch to the far right. Who knows what this guy’s up to.

Meat is murder. Delicious, delicious murder.
Not a lot of fans of The Smiths over here apparently.
Meat is Murder was an album they put out in 1985. Its not my favorite album by morriesy but it's not bad.
iirc the album cover shows that phrase written on a combat helmet of a soldier, so presumably it can be interpreted ironically.
It’s incredible to believe that the frontman of The Smiths wrote and recorded those songs at the same time as working as the tea boy at Pete Waterman’s pop factory, and some time before his own not-insignificant pop career.
It’s a pity this Morrissey usurper succeeded in writing Rick out of the picture.
A lot of people seem to be pro murder these days.
That’s meata
„Kill a …“ and „Death to …“ slogans are more popular and surprisingly accepted.
True, if you can murder a human you can murder a cow.
Reminds me of a shirt my dad had while I was growing up that said "Meat is murder... Quick, eat the evidence!".
I think the confliction comes from your assumption. You assume he is vegan or anti anime meat, or you assume he thinks murder is wrong.
"Meat is Murder" was the name of a Morrisey tour and you are not required to follow an artist's diet to listen to their music
Unless it's Morrissey, who often prohibits the sale of meat at venues or festivals he's playing at.
Not having it for sale at the venue doesn't prohibit you from eating it before and after though
anti anime meat
I only eat meat that ran into me from around the corner with toast in its mouth
If read all together it sounds like something a Bond villain would say in some low rent, meat themed James Bond film.
Meat is murder, Mr Ribs...
Tasty murder
It's just that their cognitive dissonance is more glaring than other people's but many people will continue to eat meat despite claiming things like they care for the environment, they love animals, etc. Makes the shirt sad, not funny.
There is no cognitive dissonance here, he's a carnivore who also likes the musical stylings of Morrisey.
He's wearing a shirt with the name of a tour lol
many people will continue to eat meat despite claiming things like they care for the environment
eating meat doesn't impact the environment.
Livestock are a major source of pollution. Killing and eating them is destroying a source of pollution!
the eating isn't a problem. the problems are all in the production.
lol, come on now, that is a preposterous statement
⬆️ least weepy vegan lol 😢
