This was written for anarchist vegans, but I think MLs will find things in here they agree with too. It's mostly the perfect defense against those omnis who say that veganism is based in morality and therefore is subjective.

      I (surprise, surprise), tend to disagree with a lot of what you said here. I feel as though egoism is being conflated with darwinism, and that's just not the case. individualist anarchism doesn't necessarily mean "no community," and it doesn't mean outright harming or disadvantaging others for the sake of yourself. I think of it more as an approach to rejecting social conditioning and creating your own meaning in life.

      that said, I'm making dinner and don't have time to go full out, but I'll respond later on

      (I should also add that I didn't necessarily mean to be alienating. I just wanted to share vegan theory for those of us who don't subscribe to moralism, because that type of theory is few and far between)
