What stance are you entrenched in today that might be a social issue in the future? (lemmy.world)

In the past, we've had issues with women suffrage, slavery, and sanitation, among many other things.

Today we have gun control, AI, intended/unintended false information, vaccines, etc. as consistently hot topics.

In a few decades' time, what views do you have now that may spark major social debate in the future? What conservative and/or progressive stances do you take today that might be too far on either extreme in the far future?

Religion gas to go. The way we rarm animals is barbaric. People should be able to pull the plug if they don't want to live anymore.

Once lab grown meat is common, farms will seem even more cruel to people of the future.

I know religion seems like an obvious scapegoat for a lot of problems, but gassing them seems a bit extreme 😜🤣

Or maybe they wanted to be able to huff religion gas at home rather than at the restaurant/church?

First it's religion gas to go, then religion gas drive-ins and the next thing you know, people will be reheating religion gas in their own microwave, almost completely cutting profiteering billionaires out of the process!
