That Old Guy from Babe Glued Himself to Starbucks Counter, Demanded Free Soy Milk

Remember that movie “Babe”? The one with the talking pig who competes in a dog show?

Pretty good movie, actually.

What’s not good is gluing yourself to a Starbucks counter. No wait – actually, that is good. I support this.

Breitbart:

Actor James Cromwell glued his 82-year-old hand to a Starbucks counter to protest the price of plant-based milk.

A longtime animal rights activist and climate change enthusiast, the Babe and Succession star reportedly orchestrated a protest with the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) at midtown Manhattan Starbucks where he glued his hand to the counter due to the coffee chain’s extra charges for non-dairy milk.

Wearing a “Free the Animals” T-shirt, Cromwell sat on the counter and read out a statement ripping Starbucks for its milk pricing. The moment was streamed on Facebook Live.

“When will you stop raking in huge profits while customers, animals and the environment suffer?” he said aloud. Cromwell then glued his hand to the counter and “later used a knife to scrape it off.”

No arrests were made.

A Starbucks spokesperson said in a statement that pricing on the non-dairy milks varies by market.

“Customers can customize any beverage on the menu with a non-dairy milk, including soymilk, coconutmilk, almondmilk, and oatmilk for an additional cost (similar to other beverage customizations such as an additional espresso shot or syrup). Pricing varies market by market,” the spokesperson said.

This is him getting arrested at a Wendy’s in 2001. Because harassing normal people who have no power over anything is a smart way to promote your cause.

In 2018, during the height of Donald Trump’s presidency, James Cromwell called for “revolution” and for “blood in the streets” to stop Trump.

“This is nascent fascism. We always had a turnkey, totalitarian state — all we needed was an excuse, and all the institutions were in place to turn this into pure fascism,” James Cromwell said in an interview with Variety. “If we don’t stop [President Trump] now, then we will have a revolution for real. Then there will be blood in the streets.”

This guy also made an Antichrist veganism ad.

Speaking of Antichrist – what’s that bracelet you’ve got there, old man?

Why are veganism and global warming always somehow linked to Jewish satanism?

This guy is not even Jewish. He’s also really a life-failure. His father, John Cromwell, was actually a very good director from the era of the early talkies. He directed films into the 40s, including a pretty good one with Humphrey Bogart.

However – Cromwell senior was apparently a communist. So not really surprising he raised a failed loser son who was only in one good movie with a talking pig.

I don’t even agree with the factory farming system. I don’t think anyone agrees with that. But the other thing no one agrees with is veganism. It’s basically a form of slow-burn suicide. I guess it’s less so if you’re a rich Hollywood actor who can afford whatever kinds of food replace meat.

Also – PETA’s marketing is just so bad.

Aside from harassing minimum wage workers, they make, you know – browser games?

If PETA actually cared about animals, instead of lobbying for veganism and harassing minimum wagecucks and making flash games, they would just lobby against factory farming. Most people would get on board with that, even if they don’t care about animals, just because factory farming produces such low quality meat.

Why don’t they do that?
