Because apparently some of you liberals forgot.

Your personal consumption habits are not politics but aesthetics.

I don't care if you eat hamburgers every meal and wash it down with a nice refreshing smoke of crack - if you want a world where workers call the shots - then you're a comrade of mine.

    tbf it's in their own channel, but holy shit like this is the opposite of intersectionality and leftist unity.

        It's just super strange. I feel like if anarchists or MLs were acting this way, they'd instantly be condemned for sectarianism. I actually really like veganism, I'm not quite there yet but I've cut down my animal consumption like 80% during the pandemic because I'm more conscious of what I eat. I think this is a good space to talk about it, but how it's been done isn't very productive IMO

          We seem to be at a point now where saying "ML's are poopooheads" or "anarchists are doodoopants" is haram, but saying "bloodmouths are murdering rapists" is just fine.

          All I can say is, good fucking luck growing the site.

            It's frustrating because I think the rules against sectarianism work really well, I've seen some really good conversations and effort posts from people of different inclinations, I don't really think the same is true for how veganism has been talked about on this site.

              I hate that word "carnist." It's so pretentious. Just say omnivore or meat-eater. Don't cobble together a new word out of Latin so it sounds serious.
