Like they do with dogs today.

There would be social pressure in China to stop eating pork so as to do civilisation better.

And nobody would ask why the Bible forbids eating pig meat; since pigs wouldn’t be food animals, asking why it’s wrong to eat them would be like asking why theft is wrong.

    I’m a Muslim man and I can tell you nobody cares, really. My MIL complains about the drug and booze culture, which are actual problems since you can’t go outside without seeing loud, sometimes aggressive groups of drunk/coked out white boys, or nonsense pushed by Western media. Non-Muslims eating pork is not even a topic I’ve ever talked about with any Muslim person.

    But yes, Western leaders (not just them, ofc, but they’re the most relevant and identifiable group that does this, even between themselves [“freedom fries” and the concept of “whiteness” come to mind]) will find and push any reason/narrative to make their already brain-dead, heavily propagandised, truth-agnostic people hate others, simply because they can then manipulate this sentiment, maybe pushing it far enough to make the average man cheer for death and destruction, and profit from it.
