@solluxanders @misanthropy86 no because you see exploitation is actually this imaginary distant concept that happens *over there* and if it's near me than it MUST be perfect and ethical /j
English
@misanthropy86 The local farm thing always cracks me the fuck up because literally even the cruel inhumane farms on earth could be someone's local farm. Animal farming is inherently exploitative and unethical 😭
English
do mon-vegans not eat fruits and vegetables
lord farquad’s ex wife ✨@cachavaa
veganism is not inherently a morally superior position. the vegetables and fruits you consume are also harvested via immense cruelty & exploitation, not to even mention indigenous practices or food deserts. if you care about animals, the position to take is anti-capitalism.

@shitterly @inahoneym00n that's when i scrolled though her profile and realized she's 17, most definitely lives at home with her parents, and has probably never cooked for herself before
English
@shitterly @inahoneym00n during the last vegan discourse i told this one girl who said she can't afford to be vegetarian that vegetarianism is objectively cheaper since the average vegetarian meal is a plate of rice and beans and not a whole veggie burger and she said "YOU WANT ME TO EAT LIKE A PEASANT?"
English
@underdejahvu @jooniekisser 38% of agriculture is grown for livestock which means that a vegan diet objectively has a lower landuse
English
@jooniekisser indigenous people are also losing land for agriculture which grows the crops like soybeans, im not shaming vegans btw im just pointing out the hypocrisy 😭 ethicalconsumer.org/food-drink/soy…
English
@shinywolf42 @sorceressofmath why does being indigenous make fucking WHALE HUNTING okay
English
@borowskisme @sorceressofmath im afraid you are ignorant, pls educate urself on indigenous hunting practices
English
Getting really sick of people on the left basically regurgitating "noble savage myth but woke"

@yeee_how @LocalCreature you see the thing about captain beifong is that she doesn't oppose kuvira on the grounds that kuvira is a fascist, but out of an allegiance to to the united republic and if the united republic was fascist she wouldn't oppose it
English
@yeee_how @LocalCreature it's not puritanism to measure the harm done by doing a thing against the harm not done by doing a different thing, puritanism isn't just "when ethics" also you stan a cop whose life goal is to defend liberalism which is probably why you defend your consumption habits this way
English
Much in the way that "smoking is cool and proletarian" has clearly been paid for by the tobacco lobby, I think that "veganism is lame and racist" is astroturfed by big-ag!

i thought the standard meat-eating leftist opinion was “it is a moral failing that i continue doing this and i should probably stop” whats with all the jumping through hoops
English
"Decolonize academia."
Okay, that means we should be using more plain language.
Yall: BUT PEOPLE CAN JUST LOOK UP THE WORDS! ACADEMIC LANGUAGE IS MORE EFFICIENT TO EXPLAIN COMPLEX IDEAS

@123itsmeMary decolonizing academia does not mean we should use more plain language, no

@TheChefsGardens @MonoxideRishi my next lease has a garden attached and i participate in my local community garden
idk why you get on your high horse about ethically not eating abusive agricultural labor exploitation and then eat meat, which is highly condensed abusive agricultural labor exploitation
English
@borowskisme @MonoxideRishi Yes
When do you plan to start?
English
If you follow the factory farming debate you’ll quickly learn that vegans will come up with the laziest and strangest justifications to ignore extreme human suffering, whatever their political ideology but they are usually cosplay leftists

English
@Rippie856717 @kagougirai i agree with you! that's why i'm saying "yes, vegans are like linux users" and "linux users are right," because vegans right
English
@TheChefsGardens @MonoxideRishi you should try to be less deadly and destructive, yes
English
@TheChefsGardens @MonoxideRishi a vegan diet requires significantly less agriculture than a diet of factory-farmed meat, vegans consume less human-exploited labor than non-vegans because 38% of agriculture is fed to livestock
English
@MonoxideRishi Great point!
The vegan diet requires millions of people to live in near slavery to harvest fruits and vegetables
English
@Gaming0wl @_fl0r4 your moral framework exists to justify behaviors you already do rather than determine which behaviors you ought to do and this is why you're beneath me
English
@_fl0r4 Thanks for acknowledging that i contain multitudes🙂
English
I think most people hate vegans because they individualize the problem of the meat industry and refuse to actually organize against capitalism to legitimately challenge the systems that make the meat industry so odious
Maya Luna@envisionedluna
Non-vegan leftists hate veganism because it's the one "morally correct" position you actually have to put effort into and can't just virtue signal (ie anti-fascism, anti-billionaire, anti-racism pro-LGBTQ).
English
@HoneyKraut @mvndiaFC ahh that makes sense, like a UT austin kind of? it does make sense that the ones that are closer to the downtown of a major city would be crazier about security, mine's in a mid-sized conurbanized city on the outskirts of a major city which is definitely WHY they're chill
English
@borowskisme @mvndiaFC nah its a large campus its just smack dab in the middle of the city lol, no real "barrier" around it but its all centralized around a big common area, probably a km wide
English
Can you not just walk into most campus libraries?
saksham@saqshum
universities should open their libraries up to the public. im so sick of working from overpriced cafes with bad music
English
@HoneyKraut @mvndiaFC it's really nice, and although letting anyone into the library is not uncommon, my school is *unusually* cool about people going into basically any building and staying even after the doors lock from the outside
i used to camp out in a few buildings and do projects after hours
English
@HoneyKraut @mvndiaFC for a few years i was just really into university campuses for some reason and would obsessively go to any campus i found myself near, my school is also big but it has like a set border where campus begins and ends. anyone can use the library and even check out books
