Except for CTH. Thank God for you libs.
I remember making a post in the old r/CTH subreddit about how being vegan isn't a "privilege" and debooonking all the normal excuses western leftists make and it got 50% downvoted...
yeah the subreddit had some vegan people but overall it wasn't very vegan-friendly lol
I lean more towards ML than anarchism, but in my experience there's a bigger intersection between vegans and anarchists and anarchist subs on reddit are more supportive of veganism than general leftist ones. There is even a somewhat active r/veganarchism.
I'm not sure why it is this way but it makes me think there's something to this whole anarchism thing...
I've found most normative philosophies require some form of animal rights in order to be coherent, but most people can't / won't extend the logic that far. Used to be easier in the old days when you could claim there was a great chain of being or that only humans had souls, but now there's basically no excuse except wilful ignorance
To be fair, increased Quinoa farming has fucked natives in Peru as the prices went down with the greater western demand, but that is just simply capitalism.
You're taking about quinoa, right? I thought the price went up, not down.
Yeah, fixed it. I saw something a while back that quinoa farmers hadn't benefited from the boom, but I might be misremembering.
As far as I remember it lead to people returning back to villages to farm quinoa, because it became more lucrative and poorer Peruvians not being able to afford quinoa which is their staple food and having to substitute it with other cheaper staples.
i think somebody tried getting them to take in the rockies and it failed horribly despite the climate being good. i fucking love quinoa if it was my primary protein i'd be fine with dumping meat products but shit is expensive
I think every single leftist needs to sympathize with animal rights and how evil factory farms are along side their pollution. If we are to eat meat, which as a life long even, I expect, we should at least cut it back from our diets and get it from free range animals.
And that's not even mentioning the astronomical amounts of water all that requires.
welcome home, brother. we have a lot of libs to bully here though, so don't get too comfortable.
I don't know CTH. I didn't come from Reddit but from normal Lemmy.
However, I agree with the title with the thread. I have seen a big disruption with anarchists almost always with an only known exception.
