    I love how crazy the cognitive dissonance is with things like "We should include a NSFW filter on images of meat in food just to be inclusive to our comrades, but if some of our BIPOC comrades dont appreciate being compared to animals then they have to deal with it"

      No one is comparing BIPOC themselves to animals stop strawmanning. The goal is to view issues from human-centric lenses and elevate animals moral considerations. Also when are you going to condemn the tokenizing of indigenous people by omnis? As if they're less than normal people and should be treated like white saviors treat them? Disgusting. Btw, From Aph Ko's book:

      “[V]eganism isn’t just about kicking a meat-eating habit and getting some veggies into your diet. It’s a powerful rejection of a racist food system and a racist, cannibalistic politics that characterizes animals and nonwhite people as disposable and consumable. This is why anti-racist theory matters in our efforts to free animals. The goal isn’t just to get people to replace chicken with tofu (although that’s a great start). The goal is to get the public to understand why animals matter on a political and ethical level. The goal is to reveal how the current power structure relies upon anti-Black and anti-animal ideologies to strengthen itself.”
