Earlier today a vegan made a post with a white supremacist dog whistle by satirizing a person who's people "have been eating dog for thousands of years". Another Indigenous person and I did our best to call out the white supremacist nature of the discussion, so the poster later edited the title to specifically reference European people, which may have been well intentioned but only served to gaslight us by making it look like we were over-reacting and looking to be offended.
I came here for the leftism, and stayed for the Trans Rights. I'm a 2-spirit, native leftist. I have myriad reasons why I may or may not choose or even have the choice of veganism and any moralizing or condescension that comes from white vegans is an extension of over 500 years of an imposition of an alien value system which is profoundly disconnected from this land and the plants and animals which are our blood relations.
I hear ya comrade. Living where I'm at, I'm able to have a more intimate understanding of the life of the native tribes, and on a more minor note the lives of settlers that try to live in respect to nature like the native tribes, and how vital and spiritual hunting and fishing is to them.
I can understand and support the cause of anti-capitalist vegans in their fight against the horrors of industrial agriculture, yet can not help but speak up to tell them to pump the breaks a bit when the argument swerves from anti-capitalist systemic critique to neoliberal woke virtue signaling assaults of individuals or groups of peoples for how they live.
As I've said in another post, probably the original one the OP is talking about, I called this whole argument of vegans scolding people for eating meat an absolute shitlib argument on the level of "stop using plastic straws to save the environment, sweaty!"
And it flatly fucking pisses me off. It reeks of liberalism thats completely separated from the concrete people of this concrete world with concrete issues to adress and conjures up a fantasy where the ephemeral people of the world whom live on a perfect world only need to be simply told to eat their beans and greens to bring harmony to all under the heavens.
