The left must stop excusing homophobia, sexism, and other conservative beliefs under the guise of cultural or religious differences, doing so does more harm than good to any progressive movement, there is no justification for prejudice, and these views should not be given a pass
Son birkaç gündür veganlık daha fazla konuşulan bir konuya dönüştü.
Akıllarda benzer sorular var:
“Protein?”
“Pahalı mı?”
“Sadece eti bıraksam olmaz mı?”
“Ailem ne der?”
“Bu gerçekten mümkün mü?”
Biz de en sık karşılaştığımız sorular için kısa bir başlangıç rehberi hazırladık ⤵️
Mesele, bir hissedebilir varlığın tüm çıkarlarını yok saymak ve onu bir mal ve kaynak olarak kullanmak için "tür kategorisinin" haklı bir gerekçe olmaması.
Türcülük tam olarak budur ve geçmişte ırk, cinsiyet gibi kategorilerin benzer şekillerde kullanılmasıyla benzeşir.
Evet, ilk etapta vegan yaşamı benimsemek bir öğrenme ve alışma süreci gerektirir ve bu kimilerimiz için bir miktar zahmetli olabilir.
Fakat sorumuz şu: Hangi adalet mücadelesi daha azını gerektiriyor?
I’m not going to argue with any of you about this but a vegan diet requires an amount of effort that is simply beyond what most people are willing or able to do and many people end up getting sick from deficiencies for just grabbing easy options bc they don’t what to spend ages on food prep every day. It’s not a good solution to the issue of factory farming. Lab grown meat is a better one.
The problem with how people talk about veganism is that they're constantly removing the animals from the conversation. Some of you get distracted and allow them to lead you into focusing on humanity. As most people are anthropocentric and think everything revolves around humans.
@hfkzelda Of course people who are using animals would like vegans to be silent and tone-police them when they raise their voice for the animals. It is not our job to make you comfortable. It is our duty to disturb the hegemonial normality of commodification of animals.
@eternal1te "Using every part of them to avoid waste".
This is what modern animal agriculture also do, they use every single part of the animal for profit. It doesn't justify anything. Rituals and ceremonies are just there to make people feel better, nothing to do with the animal.
@bailey42069 Carnist is not a slur but we vegans still need to stop saying it because
1- It is centering meat (carn=meat in latin.) and not all animal use (a vegetarian concept).
2- coined by a reducitarian academic and being promoted by a reducitarian organization.
@sitcomythri You should understand that once we start accepting culture as an excuse for violence and rights violations, you are simply siding with any oppressive practice conducted under the name of culture and tradition.
The essential ethical problem with meat and other forms of animal use is not that "it ruins the ecosystem". It is not an environmental sustainability issue. Animals are not natural resources that you can 'use responsibly'. Animals are not natural resources.
I have a Luke warm take: indigenous people around the world were and have been able to ethically consume meat for centuries. It is possible to eat meat and not ruin the ecosystem
When the topic is sexism, some center the interests of men.
When it's racism, they center white interests.
And when the topic is speciesism, they center human interests.
This is a how the 'dominant group' remains the default lens, even when discussing the rights of others.
Vegans will always say “beans and rice are cheaper than meat” okay so poor people are only allowed to eat beans for as long as we live? you’re no better than the people who say SNAP should only cover flour, eggs and milk lmfao
@Thepastelbutch Well, that's not an answer to my point. The reason why talking against veganism is not a bystander position is because it is simply encouraging people to use animals as resources, by making people feel better as long as oppression is labelled sustainable and local.
