Don’t you know that a DODO (🦤 Dictatorship of Dirt_Owl) is essential for ensuring the interests of the proletariat, comrade?

Dirt_Owl unironically did nothing wrong!

I somehow continue to be baffled by how much Elon’s hellhole can put out such god-awful takes.

Supporting animal exploitation is fundamentally wrong, even if you do it under certain “humane conditions.” Welfarism is irrelevant to veganism, and I’m not trying to entertain the harmful notion that exploiting animals in a way that’s “better than factory farming” justifies it.

Animals are individuals with their own interests, and they do not consent to being commodities, slaves, and resources for human beings. Every single culture in history has been carnistic, and carnism is inherently wrong. Trying to damage control this with comparative ethics about how some Indigenous practices involve exploiting animals more humanely completely misunderstands the vegan cause. Veganism is not necessarily about the environment either, so certain forms of animal exploitation being less damaging for the environment does not necessarily make them more ethical either.

Also, either you know nothing about veganism or you’re disingenuously bringing up the no-brainer fact that “just having a vegan diet doesn’t address the bigger picture of more total animal liberation” as a concern trolling tactic that you hope stating will somehow makes individuals being carnists more acceptable.

No shit. Veganism is not presented as the endgoal. To compare it to another justice issue like racism, simply refraining from supporting animal exploitation in your day-to-day life isn’t tantamount to doing a grand revolutionary act that tears down all white supremacist power structures. It’s the equivalent of simply abstaining from saying slurs.

You shouldn’t have treaded at all. If you’re going to say stuff that is undeniably not “100% pro-vegan,” you either do not know what veganism is about or you’re doing that as a form of “no offense but” kind of communication in hoping that it’ll make what you’re saying less at odds with this community.

Sorry, but not sorry, I’m not accepting your very misinformed attempts at trying to justify carnism here.

This watch may benefit you.
