Reduce or stop eating factory farmed meat / industrial fishing products?
Reduce or stop eating factory farmed meat / industrial fishing products?
1. Violence against corrupt capital-owners (I'm not advocating this, for legal reasons, just saying it could be effective)
2. Organizing your fellow malcontents (that is: people who give a quarter of a fuck about human dignity), which is hard work but can really pay off systematically. Note though that you may still end up with some of the same legal risks as #1.
Conversely, all your examples also require individuals to make individual choices. Arguably, no systemic change has ever happened without individuals choosing to act.
Not really. Not if it's just a propaganda/awareness campaign. It would only matter if anti-industrial agriculturalists were organizing, defined as building resilient social-political structures which could change policy at increasingly large scales.

I don't even think that's arguable except in the case of natural disasters bringing down systems entirely. The individual choices that matter, for the disenfranchised with revolutionary ideas, are the choices and actions that build organizational power. And building power is extremely grueling work when money is neither the goal nor vehicle, so that's why we see so little of it. That's why I'm not currently doing it, for the time being.
What actually works is political organisation that proposes solutions that actually work.
What revolutionaries are you referring to? It sounds like you're just making shit up and loosely attaching it to what I said.

Like I already said in the last part of my comment, though I'm not sure you read any parts of it very closely.
