    I feel like you may be conflating my understanding of her non-acceptance into the community with being ok with animal cruelty.

    I'm not and I don't think the cows should wear the bells.

    I just think that as an outsider challenging deeply held cultural beliefs she shouldn't have expected to be welcomed as a citizen of that community.

    It was an extremely unrealistic expectation to have.

    There is a middle ground and you're deliberately not seeing it.

    If you demand change of others, you will be met with resentment.

    If you slowly convince others of change, you can build friends and allies and grow a movement

    Which denies her a host of legal protections within the community, heaps additional bureaucratic burdens in renewing non-citizen residency papers, and exposes her to summary deportation on the whims of state security.

    I'm a Swiss permanent resident, and pretty much none of that is true. You have no clue what your talking about.___

    You should consider how your extremely polarized views can blind you to relatively obvious truths.

    I can't lay it out more simply than I have, if you still can't see what I'm saying then the most respectful way possible: please go touch grass you've clearly had too much internet.

    Y'all can read this whichever way makes you happiest...

    But one side is definitely wrong about this, and as a general rule the one advocating for using the power of the state to punish mere annoyance isn't on the right side of history.

    "Everything I don't like is fascism"

    Continues with a meme and instead of adressing the question says "in general whhen people do..."

    Lol
