Carnist love talking about how our ancestors ate this, and ate that. I wish all that effort they spend talking about what our ancestors did in the past could be spent talking about how animal agriculture is destroying the future for our descendants.

Regarding a comment on my last post: yes I do want the complete and entire eradication of the animal agriculture industry because it does 0 good for the planet and those inhabiting it.

However I realize that’s unrealistic, that’s why I ask people to be vegan as much as they can.

If nothing is stopping you from being vegan 100% of the time, you should be vegan. That’s my stance.

online rapture leftists love to pretend as if their leftism is the most enlightened one. as if „no ethical consumption under capitalism“ >> hating on people who shop second hand or go vegan, people who vote or make small positive changes in their community etc. is somehow the superior stance.

as if giving up hope and refusing any action is not the literal easiest thing you can do.

black and white thinking is not hard. refusing compassion is not hard. saying that everything is ineffective is not hard. not changing you habits and saying everything is futile anyway is not hard.

you know what is hard? gray areas. complex situations that tear you compassion in 10 different directions. making a change to your everyday habits.

but the cool thing is that making these changes and accepting the complexity of reality is also rewarding, and will give you a sense of peace that many people are searching for. and also it’s, y’know, something that will actually change things for the better.

animal agriculture propaganda has really done a number on some of you

Because it’s [almost] never about affordability, it’s about accountability, and not wanting to take it.

animal life > human comfort

Utopian techno-futurist concept: a tofu container which has a peel-away lid which is not bonded more strongly to the container than to itself, and as such can simply be peeled away rather than being iteratively torn into shreds or cut with a knife.

i find the way that many online spaces talk about "leather vs pleather" to be really frustrating and filled with misinformation, and this thread is no exception.

firt of all, i have not found a good source comparing the lifetime impact of different animal leathers with different plant based/artificial leather. so making such a blanket statement as "leather is better than pleather" seems to be difficult at best. i would love to learn what the sources are for that.

my main annoyance with this debate is that people tend to ignore just how environmentally destructive animal leather is, usually.

Most leather is chromium tanned. It’s horrible for the environment and often horrible for the people working in the industry and those living nearby, it is highly toxic, a suspected carginogene and it is not considered biodegradable, or recyclable.

painting such a product as "sustainable" is questionable.

these discussions also tend to conflate cheap fast fashion pleather products with durable vegan alternatives. I’ve had my vegan vejas for 5+ years now. I recently got the heels patched up, but other than that they’re still completely fine. My vegan dr martens are about 5 years old as well and still as good as new, even though I’ve been wearing them every single winter.

fast fashion products do not hold up well. no matter what they are made out of.

the vast majority of the clothes industry is unsustainable, employs horrific working condition and causes severe environmental damage. this obsession people have with pleather seems to me to have very little to do with any real attempts at changing that. instead, it seems to be a way for people to paint vegans as environmentally unsustainable, which is ironic considering that vegan diets on average have a far, far smaller environmental impact than those which include animal products.

lastly "imo" is not a reference. production of pleather is worse than chromium tanning? provide the references. i'd love to see them and learn more!

Factory farm animals are the most abused animals IN THE WORLD. If you claim to be “against animal abuse” but don’t address abuse in the meat/dairy/egg industries, you’re not actually against animal abuse.

vegan cooking is joy <3

People: *make offensive anti-vegan jokes, joke about animal suffering, shit on animal activism, shit on vegans and treat vegans like shit on a regular basis*

People: I have nothing against veganism! I don't hate vegans at all! Why are vegans getting so upset, anyway?

“live and let live, vegans” says the carnist as they pay other people to kill, use and torture animals for them :)
