Someone who advocates for taking care of the planet, and treating others compationately disagrees with you. You try to defend massive corporations that are well known for destroying the planet and abusing animals in ways so horrific that simply being shown what they are doing took you to a place not far from suicidal ideas. If that is really what you think you should be defending deep down, there is nothing I can tell you to change your mind. Just consider if you would rather be on the side defending compassion or on the side fighting against it.
i never did that.
I know it's embarrassing, but you can go back and read what you've written. No stretch of the imagination puts you on any side other than trying to excuse your funding those monsters.
anyone can read whats been said and see that i've not defended any corporations
Factory farms are exclusively run by corporations. I highly doubt this is news to you.
and i havent defended factory farms
this is all posturing and rhetoric. you have not shown that being vegan reduces industry emissions.
By the way, once again, you made up this vegan thing. Go look for me saying anyone should be vegan. You've created a fictional world, and even a fictional person to argue against because you have no leg to stand on in the real world arguing against a real person.
you're splitting hairs. it seems impossible for you to be intellectually honest
The emissions happen because people financially support them. It isn't hard to grasp. You just don't want to feel responsible. I know I'm not responsible for it, and I don't have to try to pretend that my money doesn't help continue what they do. You have to pretend or admit guilt, and at this point you can't bring yourself to admit to what you are doing.
more posturing and rhetoric. no evidence that your purchases have ever helped the environment at all.
Not at all a hard search:

The issue isn't a lack of evidence. The issue is your denial of anything that questions your behavior. The problem you are facing is looking at yourself, not at being unable to use a search engine.
so when did agriculture emissions drop?
You already have been presented the explanation of this. It is up to you to understand it.
to be clear, your method has been tried and it has failed.
