IT'S VEGANUARY !!
:vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge: :vegan-edge:
the best time of year to start giving a shit about non-human animals
"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; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of animals, humans and the environment."
🐮 Cows deserve to live their full lifespan
🐷 Pigs deserve a life free from exploitation
🐔 Chickens deserve a life free from genetic manipulation
If you've got any basic questions or concerns about veganism, !vegan@hexbear.net has a megathread devoted to that sort of discussion!

*like @glimmer_twin says, https://veganuary.com for recipes and guides for how to try it out!
Their argument is that importing goods is cheaper than local labor, without thinking that maybe there's political and economic factors driving that.
It's a ignorant point from an even more ignorant person.
I just made fun of them for not knowing boats existed until recently.
And how do they think those cheap imported goods are made, if not labour, lol?
How do they think those goods miraculously travel and arrive and get sold to them? They must just magically teleport from a factory into a store which magically sells it to you and maintains itself with no human interaction.
It’s like Star Trek, you just say “iPhone” into a microwave looking thing and it appears.
Who made the microwave thing? I dunno, another microwave
you see, when a bird-microwave and a bee-microwave love each other very much, they utilize overlaping fields of electromagnetic radiation, in a special hug, causing intermolecular friction that spontaneously generates a tertiary microwave.

It's not even about what drives it or not, it's that humans in power have created transnational legal structures that encourage this sort of thing.
The US was already one of the richest countries in the world even when it had a far more isolationist way of doing things. It's really just that the political project around open world markets benefits incumbent power.
