Every fucking time a "leftist content creator" on Instagram speaks on veganism, there's always this "no ethical consumption under capitalism" shit. Good God, the mental gymnastics are insane, and the comments are full of carnists accusing vegans of ableism, classism, and racism. I can't fucking stand this anymore.
I'm not gonna type out a whole dunk of this shit, but I had to give at least a mini-rant about it because I'm pissed the fuck off now. They screech all day about how they're against so many bigoted, reactionary, and imperialist tendencies, but when it comes to speaking out against speciesism, they have to pull so much bullshit out of their ass to justify it.
I'm fucking mad, I'm tired, and I'm about to cry because animal rights are a very sensitive subject for me. Call me a baby, but I just find it so awful that people will try to justify such an inhumane, disgusting act like this.
My country is so up it's hole about grassfed dairy that I get so much satisifcation by pointing out how much GM American/Brazilian soy we have to import to actually keep all the cattle fed.
Watching their face drop as the bubble pop and cosy ur-facist fantasy internally collapses for a few minutes is so sweet. Due to the non-stop rain the cows can't be let out in the soggy bog like soil. Farmers are scambling to get whatever grain and grass for feed and bedding. Of course this translates to more subsidies and geneflecting by the three conservative parties and wider culture when there is no housing and our health service is collapsing but no discussion into what is actually sustainable and ethical.
