    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

  • 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.

  • Reminds me of a shirt my dad had while I was growing up that said “Meat is murder… Quick, eat the evidence!”.

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

  • 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…

  • 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.
