Remember the rules; in particular, this comm is for vegans only. Feel free to discuss anything from beans :bean: to your undying and eternal hatred for carnists. :frog-no-pretext:

:vegan-edge: Veganism isn't a diet, it's about animal liberation.

Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose

    You would think people that spend all their time talking about ideologies centered around autonomy and freedom of exploitation would be able to extend that to all aspect of their lives. Some of them do change, but reactionaries act as reactionaries do. They say they just want to kill animals even more and we're supposed to look at them like they aren't unhinged. The reports in this comm and my DMs are filled with salty animal abusers. I'm sure other users here get it too

      They think "I don't give a shit about animals" is a complete moral argument, as if we don't spend all day dunking on landlords, cops, and capitalists who "don't give a shit" about those they're oppressing. They act like the point of being a leftist is just looking out for yourself or merely analyzing shit instead of actually fighting against injustice and oppression.

      You can tell how lib a person is by how fiercely they defend the negative peace of the status quo over ever making any changes or steps towards left political goals.

      I don't envy the salty dm's and reports, for sure. Carnists abuse and murder nonhumans every day, so it's no surprise they don't think twice about sending cruel and abusive messages to us either. I remember when Regan Russell died, the things carnists said.

      These were the comments on the first fb post I saw about her death. CW carnists are fascists, and these comments are very disturbing. Do not click this link if you're in a bad place: https://imgur.com/a/cEejmzO

      Point I'm trying to make is never, ever believe people when they say vegans are the mean and uncivil ones. It doesn't matter how quiet, respectable, and civil you are -- if you try to change the status quo or question someone's privilege, libs will paint you as the devil
