Maybe my problem isn't with indigenous people eating meat. Maybe it's the western lifestyle that's extremely harmful and maybe its a good idea we carefully think about our personal relationship with it. Maybe criticising excessive and harmful consumption is a necessary condition to the emancipation of human and animal. And maybe we shouldn't reject that conversation as liberal classism. And maybe you do that because it's an easy justification for your own poor behaviour?

this all seems correct. we live in a system where even all our fruits and vegetables are only available thanks to untold human suffering, including literal slavery, military occupation, the most brutal forms of imperialist extraction and exploitation. the liberal classism is once you make it a moral issue, when there are good and bad people based on these non-choices

Let me tell you about my opinion about Bernie Sanders and why Donald Trump is his true successor.

You cannot vote Hillary Clinton because she is worse than Trump.

lol you acted like the pompous non-consumer was a strawman and that enlightened "anti-western" western communists aren't like that and then you told on yourself, bravo. do you go around telling people that you don't even own a tv?


I'm calling you and other posters out specifically because goons are notorious gluttons, and they will often twist themselves into knots to justify their own poor behaviour.

I don't speak to or judge people in real life the same way as I do here. I also expect different things from fellow activists than I do from strangers.

I'm slinging poo poo at you in way I wouldnt with anybody else because one would hope that a leftist forums would endorse political platforms that prevent harmful exploitation instead of rejecting it completely by calling it liberal classism.

Because you take everything I say to the absolute extreme and assume I'm some intolerable assholes who hates meat eating poor people, means you've already made up your mind about anti-meat activists. So I'm going to do the same with you. You are a fat shameful glutton that consumes exploitative material and you justify with lovely politics

I mean, I think there's a difference between what your saying, categorizing meat eaters as bad people. And what I have been saying: is that we, as political organizers struggling for global emancipation, should expect good behaviour among cadre, and promote good things in our political platform. Is this really that controversial?

so do vegans refuse antivenom if they get bitten by a snake?

this is not an entirely joking question - 80 to 135 thousand people die a year from snake bite envenomation on average, about 3 times that number receive amputations or life changing injuries. most frequently the victims are from less wealthy countries, especially subsistence farmers who cause far less damage to the environment than your average western vegan. should they be refused treatment because making antivenoms simply isn't possible under vegan morality?

tokin opposition posted:

my actual take is that veganism is good for your health done correctly,

considerable evidence points to extremely widespread nutritional deficiency amongst vegans regardless of other factors including type of vegan diet. without supplements (which require industrial production on the necessary scale) it's simply not a remotely sustainable or healthy diet; perhaps this is a reason that no society on earth has pursued strict veganism long term in human history?

it's also worrying the effect this is likely to have on developing children - there have been many cases of long term health problems and even a number of deaths caused by parents enforcing strict vegan diets on their children. in some cases vegan parents have been found criminally liable in causing the death or injury of their children.

Studies such as this: https://www.researchgate.net/public...The_Netherlands tend to suggest that it's simply not possible to feed young children strict vegan diets without causing alarming levels of important nutritional deficiencies that effect growth and psychomotor development. note that in this study these deficiencies at a crucial development period were ubiquitous for those on a strict vegan diet and that it concluded these kids should get some fatty fish and some milk at the very least.

i would agree that current western diets aren't healthy and are destructive to the environment; but i agree with vegans on that in the same way, and to the same extent, that i agree that we're overusing antibiotics yet still don't support homeopathy as the only moral form of medicine

of course we go with the vegan society's definition which includes the phrase "as far as is possible and practicable," but if you call yourself a leftist and you're not a vegan you're a massive shitocrite who only selectively cares about the suffering of both human and non-human animals

There are lots of great reasons to be vegan and/or eat mostly plants. Id love to see statistics on how many people have been successfully shamed into becoming vegan long-term though. Seems to me the best advertisement is living a happy and healthy vegan life and not seeking out conversions. One common side-effect of adopting veganism seems to be (hopefully) short-term amnesia about having not previously been vegan.

Some good reading if anyone cares: Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer, Veganism in an Oppressive World edited by Julia Feliz Brueck, and this interview with Dr. Margaret Robinson: https://animalpeopleforum.org/2020/09/23/decolonizing-veganism-an-interview-with-dr-margaret-robinson/

Anyway now Im curious about Norwegian leftists...

mice meltdown but i was pretty clear that such behavior is cool and good and personally i love pigs so i don't eat them. and many here have agreed that it's fine and even admirable to take a personal anti-consumerist stand just as long as you don't make a big deal about it, which you don't seem to know how to do

it is because who gives a flying gently caress if the people you're trying to organize at mcdonalds eat their own supply? "good behavior" might mean organizing against factory farming but again, even the "organizer" is in a liberal activist milieu (even if they don't think they are and identify as communist) that exists worlds apart from the material conditions and reality of most working class people. bourgeois moralism has no place within a socialist movement

yeah. it's like the difference between buying a gas car or an electric car. the difference, even on a national scale, is insignificant, because the exploitation and environmental damage is happening either way. you just get to be smug about one.
