Remember, EM POC only!

I still don't have power, so I spent a lot of time at this cafe that is open late just to ensure that I have a full battery. I stayed there until they closed.

As utterly fucking frustrating as this is, it seems as if Tuesday/tomorrow is the latest I can expect to have power. So many houses around me already seem to have it.

I might be able to actually sleep with ease again as my room won't be disgustingly hot anymore. I could complain about it for ages, and I could get a lot more vulgar too, especially considering the whole fucked up context of the American government being more invested in putting in billions to fund fascist operations in Isn'trael and UKKKraine instead of providing relief to their own citizens that just endured the wrath of a very rough, cheek-clapping hurricane.

    Vegans are not, unprompted, going after any particular culture for being carnistic. It wouldn't make any sense because every single culture throughout history, including Western European ones, has been carnistic to some degree. However, some people from cultures in Africa, India, etc., on average, consume fewer animal products than those in western countries, but there has never been a society that has upheld veganism as a universal, strong core tenet that's practically inherent to their society, in which they see animal exploitation as unequivocally wrong and to be condemned at all times.

    As should be known

    For this reason, a lot of carnists who divert to takes such as "What about this culture that's heavy on meat consumption?" and the like are being entirely disingenuous. Many of these carnists, but not all of them, are white people, so they're literally exploiting a non-white culture as their own excuse for not going vegan.

    Huh, I forget to remember that such posts are not without provocation from the carnist side, usually of the west and other supporting reactionaries

    but I do not believe that saying "Culture does not justify carnism" is what necessarily indulges in such a mindset at all.

    Well... I stand corrected... I guess I had a gut reaction to the post... there's alotta brainworms in my head to remove...
