A reminder to vegans that your enemy isn't meat eating, hunting or farming. It's capitalism. Please leave us ndn people alone or the pozole will once again be made with people and not pork.

Look at that cat, shaking his legs due to fear of all the bombs. Cannot walk anymore. Animals cannot hide their feelings. Imagine what Palestinians feels inside. Babies, children, mentally handicapped or handicapped people in general like blind and deaf people, elderly.

Where are you vegans and animal rights activist who supports israel?Perhaps the animals from Palestine are lower than animals in your country. Make some excuses. But, it's not my business.

That cat like others in palestine is traumatized for life.

That cat is lucky. He cannot hunt anymore since his limbs are paralyzed. Other animals like him will starve to death if they are not taken care of by humans. Thanks Israel and America

just kind of frustrating that so many leftists shut down veganism. i see so many of my peers posting about how boycotts are a no-brainer, how our current comforts are based on the oppression of others. and its just frustrating to not see the logic extend to it's obvious vegan implications

#veganism #obligatory disclaimer that there are barriers to veganism but that doesn't negate making efforts towards animal liberation #anti capitalism

tumblr users ranting about the death of media literacy and critical thinking vs an anti-vegan post with zero sources

#source: op said it #Ppl on tumblr would never lie #it doesn’t help that a lot of people are bias towards anti-vegan sentiments and this bias is often encouraged by the mainstream #But you’d think such a pretentious userbase would know that #No im sure the research paper paid for by farmers is extremely unbiased!!!!#Who’s a good little consumer? Who’s a good little meat eating tumblr user?#vegan

People love to call veganism ‘privileged,’ while conveniently ignoring the fact that the only reason animal products are even close to being accessible for the average consumer is because they’re factory farmed, slaughtered and packed by grossly underpaid labourers working in dangerous conditions, and then massively subsidised by all of our taxes.

If you care about animals you'd be vegan because the industries that make animal products are abusive and animals aren't here to serve us.

We make speciesism socially acceptable by telling ourselves formalised, systemic violence is a necessity. We weave the deceitful narrative that nonhuman animals' place in the world is below us, to be used by us -- at 'best' as an accessory. Much like all oppressions, speciesism and ableism are linked in that all those complicit weaponise ideas of rationality, morality and civility by internalising the indoctrination that nonhumans and disabled people don't feel, are less intelligent, or capable than us leading to their socially inferior position

it really is wild to me the extent with which people can just... not care. and some people 'don't care' so much that they convince themselves it's the default state of being.

I asked my brother if he'd consider switching to nonplastic sponges to reduce microplastic water flow, and he sarcastically dismissed me. later I found his general trash bag entirely full of completely recyclable material - along with the bag I told him I used to collect plastics that you can only recycle at supermarkets. he'd thrown it away without asking me.

I've been well aware that many aspects of recycling were designed to be inefficient and place responsibility on consumers for some time now. it's a devastatingly clever piece of coorperate, industrial blame-shifting. still, I wanted to believe that even if someone wasn't ready to commit to reducing their impact as much as possible, recycling and reducing plastic use was at least something we had all agreed to do as the absolute bare minimum. my brother's lifestyle proves me wrong.

even if the entire amount of materials I recycled in a lifetime hardly even made a dent in reducing pollution or wasted resource, the fact of the matter is, I do not like putting things in the trash when I can imagine what it'll be like when they get to the landfill, and how many thousands of years it might take for them to degrade. it makes me deeply, viscerally uncomfortable. I can feel in my blood and bones how much it makes the Earth beneath and surrounding the landfill hurt, too.

sometimes it's not even so much about the impact. it's about just that -- how it makes me feel. it's about the questions it makes me ask myself - am I living to my truest values? do my actions reflect them? am I truly embodying my passion for sustainability and fundamental respect to the Earth? is it worth inconveniencing myself for that? and, most importantly - just because I cannot always see the effects of my actions, just because they are immeasurable - does that truly mean they don't matter?

my brother seems to be very convinced that his individual actions have little impact. but I insist that it is a mark of great and unique privilege to not be required to witness the repercussions of individual actions - to not have to see the victims firsthand. to not be the fish choking on microplastics, the suffocating plantlife crushed beneath the landfill, the impoverished neighbourhood or the fragile ecosystem of life forced to live beside it. to be in a socio-economic and geographical position to even be capable of living a life of such supposed ignorant bliss.

it's my opinion that it's the result of an incredibly dissociative, vain, irresponsibly individualist and uniquely contemporary mindset that so many people do.

“This text is aiming for the destabilization of the term veganism through moral and social, even political chains and illustrates that if it doesn’t align with a totally hostile consciousness towards the existent, then it doesn’t cease to be another hoax or delusion. That is to say if the persons using this tool have made that another morality or don’t take some risks with acts of attack (this can take many forms not only physical) or chaotic disruption then it remains mud inside the swamp where it came from.”

The Moral Complexity of a Meat Consumption

I said it before and I will say it again: There definitely is a subsection of the Solarpunk movement, who keeps going on about the future having to be "all vegan". In any Solarpunk space you will find some of this sort. Heck. You will also find folks in anarchist spaces, who will go: "Oh, you are an anarchist and still eat meat? So you do believe in hierarchies! Because you see yourself as higher as an animal!"

These days I am mostly ignoring those people, because I know that you really just cannot win those arguments with them.

Outside of chicken I do not really like meat. I do not like the taste or texture. But if I completely cut it out of my diet, I will get sick. Tried it several times. It did not work out. So, I cut it down to two days a week, which keeps my body in a somewhat sustainable equilibrium.

For me the issue is in how my body metabolizes certain aspects of food. But a lot of chronically ill and disabled people will have to eat meat and cannot cut it out of their diet. Maybe they cannot eat a lot of other proteins due to their allergies. Maybe there is stuff in plants that they cannot metabolize. And maybe they are autistic and literally can only eat like five different things. There are plenty of reasons people might just not get around it.

However... I also look at a lot of folks in the modern world eating cheap meat every single day, and I am shaking my head. Sure, some of them might need to eat meat daily, but let's be honest: Most people actually do not. Most people would be perfectly fine to cut down on the meat and only eat meat once or twice a week.

I personally absolutely do not see anything wrong with killing and eating animals per se. Because that is just how the world works. Some animals kill, other animals are eaten. Humans are just another animal.

What I do find issue with, however, is the industrial meat industry. The thing that makes it possible in the first place for folks to eat meat every day. Big plants where hundreds, if not thousands of animals are being kept, with only ridiculous amounts of antibiotics keeping the animals from getting too sick. With slaughtering plants that process hundreds or thousands of animals each day. That is just... Not how it should go.

I personally... since I cut down the meat in my diet, I can afford to actually just eat the free range animals that got to frolick out on the pasture for their entire life. Because frankly, yeah, it is double the price of the alternative, but... So what? For two times a week it works fine. (Also, frankly, there is less water in the meat and the meat actually has better taste and texture.)

So, you know, for me it would be totally fine if there just was no cheap meat at all and all meat was pasture frolicking animals. But even here it gets complicated of course.

Because... Well, there are poor people, who also need to eat meat for health reasons. And what are they gonna do? After all being poor makes you more likely to be disabled - and hence require stuff like that.

And it is exactly the big issue. And frankly... I honestly do not think there is any proper solution to this under capitalism. Because more than anything... capitalism sucks.

Also "well the sheep have to be sheared so we should use the wool" well they have to be sheared because we bred them into this state. Buying the wool products does not make things better. I don't think there's any perfect solution here, but companies don't care what you think when you buy the wool. If you buy the wool "because the sheep currently around need to be sheared anyways", they'll go, cool, there's a market, and keep it up. If you buy the wool because you don't give a shit, they'll also go, cool, there's a market, and keep it up.

If you can, just don't buy wool, or at least pick secondhand stuff. Because all it does is encourage the practice.

Waiting for the day when i see an anti-vegan claim that some animals actually want to be farmed and eaten you guys!!!!

#We’re so close #it rly wouldn’t surprise me if someone has already said that #Vegan gunkbaby #I can’t take the anti vegan shit seriously on this site #None of it feels good faith. Ever #Like it all just feels like comfort for carnists. No encouragement to question the belief that has been engrained in you #Like i don’t mind questioning my veganism every now and then. But why do vegans have to be like ‘oh guys I’m not one of those annoying vega #Like carnists never question their beliefs. They never need to reassure the masses #I’m just rambling aimlessly wait #Like im so sick of u guys acting like vegans are oppressing you or something #Like as if the vegan section is bigger than the meat section

The fact that so many leftists and progressives are not only not trying to be vegan but are actively arguing against it, while simultaneously believing this to be a progressive position, will always baffle me.

The question being asked is: “should this oppressed group have rights?” and your answer is “no.” You are arguing in favour of the overwhelmingly dominant ideology and of maintaining the status quo, which is the same side as massive, environmentally destructive, exploitative corporations and just about every conservative you know.

If you are arguing against animals having rights, you are taking up the politically and socially conservative position. There is no debating that - you just are. There is no way to frame this as socially progressive or radical. There exists a movement in favour of social change and the liberation of an exploited class, and your position is in direct opposition to that.

You’re free to hold that view if you want to, but let’s not pretend it’s somehow progressive. You can’t have it both ways.

The fact is to correct climate change we NEED to, at the very least, DRASTICALLY reduce meat consumption.

There is no world where climate change is fixed and you’re still eating how you are now.
