Is just a liberal larping about upholding social justice for all of our comrades while condemning others to be exploited and murdered.
Edited: since people were crying about thinking this is targeting anarchists specifically, and not all larping libs.
There’s no room for apologism or bending the rules for anyone when it comes to granting animals the right and dignity to a life without any unecessary human intervention. You can not respect an animal if you are going to kill it/exploit it. Stop twisting people’s words try to it into a “Veganism is anti-indigenous” narrative. This is so typical of a carnist argument to attack the extreme outliers rather than focusing on the main issue at hand which is Animal liberation.
I’m not attacking extreme outliers here. This person who I am responding to literally just said indigenous people should be culturally re educated to be vegan. Am I the only one who sees a problem with that? I don’t think veganism is anti indigenous. Not at all. I just think that suggesting that cultural re education, WHICH THIS USER IS SUGGESTING WE DO, is a bad idea because indigenous people in Canada were literally subject to cultural re education (aka cultural genocide) until the 1990s. It’s just not ok to suggest that kind of thing. You wouldn’t suggest making a ghetto for Jewish people in the 1970s, even if it’s for some reason that would benefit them, because trauma is real and suggesting the same method of trauma, even if it’s for a positive end goal, is just not ok.
Animal liberation is the goal, any culture - whether it’s indigenous or not - will evolve as culture always has. I come from a culture where women are explicitly 2nd class citizens, do you want me to continue following that culture just because it’s my culture? I would hope not.
