Just pretend that the past was great like a conservative. Surely there weren’t any problems for anyone who wasn’t a wealthy land owning white man in the global west right?

Yes, this is true. The reason I said likely is that CO2 is frequently present in the gas used to suffocate animals.
Yes, this is why I stated that chicken slaughtering was free of distress and suffering only in some cases. Farmers are highly incentivized to take shortcuts which result in worse methods and higher error rates. I remember hearing about how pigs are frequently suffocated using CO2 even though using inert gasses or other methods would trigger significantly much less distress.
It highly depends on the process. Suffocation is likely to cause distress while I would doubt that using a stun gun could cause any pain or distress if properly calibrated. Of course, errors are not uncommon in the real world and significant issues occur when stunning is unsuccessful.
This is inaccurate to the majority of mass produced chicken. Mature chickens are stunned before being slaughtered. This can be accomplished in three major ways: electrocution, suffocation, or mechanically striking the brain. In many cases the chicken does not suffer pain or distress. What is more valid to criticize is how male chicks are killed. Due to a lack of regulation, farmers frequently toss them into a grinder while still alive and conscious.

I think I’ve seen this one before…
