Is just a liberal larping about upholding social justice for all of our comrades while condemning others to be exploited and murdered.

Edited: since people were crying about thinking this is targeting anarchists specifically, and not all larping libs.

    If we're going to tackle all of humanity's ills, we need to think more macro, which involves the global collective. Whether it's hunting/farming animals, cultural practices that promote inequality, or even disposing of casinos that promote all of society's ills, predominantly addictions like gambling and alcoholism. I mean, would you go to bat for indigenous peoples that practice cannibalism? (I know it's an antiquated example, but it's to make a point.)

    No, we've got to think Big. And that includes everyone.

      I just don’t think that cultural re education for a small group that has no large impact on the environmental or ethical concerns of the meat industry is a great idea. Indigenous communities don’t use meat in the same way we do, nor is factory farming a key part of their culture, and suggesting an act that’s inflicted great cultural trauma is just a bad idea. Encouraging veganism is fine. Including indigenous people in efforts to decrease meat consumption is fine. But cultural re education, which is what the original person was suggesting, is just not acceptable considering cultural re education was genocide the last time it happened. I am not opposed to veganism or the idea that indigenous people should be vegan, I am opposed to what the original commenter said, that re education is necessary to erase meat consumption from indigenous culture. Key word is re education because it’s just wrong to suggest that for any indigenous person
