Won’t lie. We’re almost at BBQ season and I’m going to be smoking up all kinds of goodness on the pit that’ll make yo mouth water. I’ll post pics but if it’s too offensive I’ll just keep the food pr0n to myself.
Go vegan loser
How can you call yourself a leftist, yet support factory farming, where billions of sentient beings are tortured to death?
Doesn’t that strike you as a contradiction?
Consuming animal products doesn’t mean I support factory farming anymore than buying a phone means supporting rare earth mineral mining practices.
An individual consumer choice won’t even put a dent into the practices of business. There’s large capital invested into farms, slaughter houses, etc. Even if the demand for meat products dropped a bit, the price would also drop and demand would pick back up as consumption would be made up by thise who do consume meat consuming even more of it.
Veganism as an individual consumer choice under an moralist framework is super lib
many people call themselves leftist but are racist, transphobic, classist, homophobic, sexist, capitalists, assholes etc. nobody seems to really bat an eye then.
this doesnt diminish being against factory farming but its weird when this moralistic argument gets pulled with such pearl clutching and gasping that its as if other oppression doesnt exist. Or as if we don’t live in a primarily meat eating non vegan context, as if some people have the money or option of choice in their neighborhoods. As if people don’t come from specific POC or regional cultural contexts that prioritizes meat.
i wish people would stop being racist to me but im not needlessly evangelizing others because its annoying and sanctimonious. trust me, we all have experience caring so much about a super fucked up morally reprehensible issue that it’s often on our minds…the pushy vegan stereotype exists for a reason and it probably has to deal with your accusation of someone supporting factory farming when they simply said “no” in response to being encouraged to go vegan.
people acting like this is exactly why i dont support the CW for meat; there are other people in the world other than yourself and there are things with equally high stakes, if not more that we comparatively don’t grind people down with in normal conversation. Normal zealots of equal causes don’t act like this and often veganism is talked about with this weird moralistic judge mental rhetoric that makes people not like you. The CW feels like an extension of that.
