Welcome to the Vegan Theory Club Weekly Megathread!
Question of the week:
What do you think is the most effective form of vegan activism? Food Not Bomb's feeding people? Truth Cubes? Shitposting online? Let us know what you think and what you've been involved in!
Feel free to talk about anything, whether it’s vegan-related or not. This is a chill space for connecting, sharing ideas, and supporting each other.
Looking forward to hearing what everyone’s up to!
In a similar boat as you. I used to fight people's thoughts on veganism quite often and often "unprovoked" but stopped doing that a while ago. It's sad for the animals' sake but you need to be open to the idea of veganism if you want to convince someone - won't change someone's mind if they're completely stuck in their ways. Choosing to just stay out of it nowadays
I only focus on people that I think are able to make the change, have enough self confidence to stand up for themselves and enough independence to keep them on track. I think veganism is a 1000 year project but I am not as much of a doomer as bee, I think we need dedicated people to make vegansim seem possible and attractive who will be the vanguards of the inheritance of civilization. Abolition of slavery is still a work in progress but it has changed in the past thousand years and the animal of human exploitation of animals will occur on a similar timescale. So for me it is still worth while to not own slaves and not exploit animals and can show others that it is possible.
