the earliest recorded animal liberation activist was an arab philosopher, poet and writer named abu al-ala al-ma’arri (973–1057 CE) his writings were explicitly aligned with the fundamental principles of what is, in the modern day, referred to as veganism.
Vegane Eltern erklären ihren Kindern, warum sie keine tierischen Produkte nutzen. Das nennt man Indoktrination.
Andere Eltern servieren Fleisch und verschweigen bewusst, wer dafür wie sterben musste. Das nennt man "freie Wahl".

@D3vilussy@smokeMYvomitt what even is your ideal method of making impact? signing petitions and giving money to corporations that abuse animals in hopes they’ll stop whilst still funding it? vegans who protest in real life still recieve as much criticism from you people as we do online.
@D3vilussy@smokeMYvomitt virtue signaling means to be doing something in order to gain approval or a good reputation. being vegan and talking about veganism has the exact opposite effect of that, so clearly we aren’t just doing it for the love of the game 💀
You just need to mention that you’re vegan on Twitter, and suddenly everyone is an autistic, homeless Inuit living in a food desert in Alaska, with sensory issues that make it impossible to eat anything plant-based.
I know sour patch kids and skittles aren’t vegan because in my mind vegans only eat food that tastes bad and skittles tastes good so skittles can’t be vegan. They must secretly put meat, bones or dairy in them despite the ingredients saying they don’t.
@swirlylambz my online best friend’s whole immediate family is vegan and vegetarian. they grew up vegetarian and later turned vegan !! i’m always so jealousss
@D3vilussy@smokeMYvomitt i don’t want bigger cages or more ‘ethical’ practices, i’m pushing to abolish the industries. exploitation can never be ethical.
dominion didn’t just make me realise the horrific conditions, it made me recognise animals not as commodities but as commodified individuals.
@MorallyPanicked@plant_xbasedx it doesn’t need to contribute to the value of slaughter to be non-vegan. it’s still extracted from animals which goes against fundamental vegan principles that animals aren’t a resource.
