A lot of leftists are marxist-leninist, anti-sexist, LGBT+ and anti-racist. BUT, they'll tell you the dumbest right-wing arguments to justify eating animals. I get that people aren't ideal, but when you are the urban middle class of the West, there's no excuse to not be vegan. Absolutely, no, excuse, to, murder, animals. Historical materialism lets me ok people from poor/oppressed backgrounds being carnist. I would never denounce a carnist in Gaza, but the Westerners have no any excuses to abuse animals.

I get that some people just have no will, I know people can be addicted. But at least DON'T BE A JERK to vegans. Some "leftists" post propaganda about veganism like YT videos that are literally funded by oil corporations. Some "leftists" are so toxic I'd rather have a conservative as my roommate than them.

The "leftists" lie all the time. Meat, dairy, eggs and honey are luxury products available mosty to those in the imperial core. The poor countries like India, Nigeria, Uganda and North Korea eat diets closest to veganism BECAUSE plant foods are the cheapest foods, not carnist subsidized McFood.

Dealing with leftists, especially online, is draining to me. How can I be productive as a leftist and not go insane? How can I cooperate with carnists to achieve the revolution? I see no easy solution here

      I did deal with his point. His point was "I don't care about x because there is something I consider worse occurring." It's a shitty point. Fuck that point.

          Veganism and food security go hand-in-hand, fool. Farming animals is incredibly destructive, inefficient, cruel decadence done for the pleasure of the rich while the poor go hungry. If you wanted to feed the maximum possible number of people you sure as shit would not be farming tons of grains and soy just to feed it to animals to eat. That shit's obviously stupid.

          If the availability of food is more important than what the food consists of, then we must stop farming animals immediately. Didn't they teach you about energy efficiency and the food chain in elementary school?

                      So the only people allowed to post here are people who are already vegan?

                      That is correct. You'd know this if you bothered to read the rules. Fuck off.

                          No one asked for your shitty carnist opinion. No one was talking to you. You are in a space where you are explicitly not allowed.

                              No omni apologists or carnists.

                              Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.

                      Oh I expect them to show up, that doesn't make it any less against the rules when they do. Honestly I prefer for them to show up, get dunked on, and get banned. I just wish they got banned from the whole site for trolling, rather than just this comm shrug-outta-hecks

          If it makes you feel better, I was thinking you were a smug carnist before I read the comment in which you admit to being one. It's not hard to see from a comment or two that you're in here to drop the same shitty carnist arguments we've all heard before.

          Stop eating animals.
