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.
@me0wgiirl@rlovesjmarston i’m literally right lmao, you’re afraid of agreeing with a vegoon because we’re so mean and annoying and militant 😢
just say you don’t have anything of substance to add to the conversation, it’s okay.
“can we not exploit animals and make changes to our best efforts so that they can live freely and without fear and exploitation” but i like it tho but taste tho and lions tho and we all do it tho and it’s not illegal tho
@me0wgiirl@rlovesjmarston slurs aside, they’re literally right. that really is a disgusting thing to say. it’s on par with saying “designed to give birth” no one is designed to do anything. cows were genetically manipulated to produce excessive amounts of milk for us, because of our self-entitlement.
@rlovesjmarston HAHA i saw that
exactly dood until we solve every problem on earth animals should not be liberated whatsoever, i love enforcing oppressive hierarchies when it’s a liberation movement i don’t like 😊 those damn borjwazeey vegoons doing the bare minimum unlike me 🙄
@1800hotncoolz@flvtt3rsshy if that applies to everything how come i never see this take within other movements? you’re also forgetting that veganism means rejecting the commodity / property status of animals and avoiding practices that enforce that *as far as is possible and practicable*
@TripleTrio96@flvtt3rsshy the issue is that these people who are reducing their consumption, when they’re in a position to not pay for exploitation at all, don’t understand that veganism is fundamentally a rejection of the commodity / property status of animals, not a reducitarian approach.
@furina_my_dear@flvtt3rsshy please read what i said. soon it’ll be “vegan except bacon” or “vegan except steak” when they’re someone who can live perfectly fine without it and are willingly choosing to stick with those for taste pleasure. it turns into a consumer identity.
