veganism is expensive if you want to replace all the animal products and animal-based dishes you currently eat with 1:1 pre-made veganised alternatives. veganism is extremely cheap if you think of vegan food as its own form of cuisine, and do a bunch of bullshit with beans and tofu.

[ndnbutch]

personally I am of the opinion that vegans who are like “the way our food system currently works under capitalism on a large scale is exceptionally cruel to all animals including humans and is not sustainable, so I’m doing what I can to make the most ethical choices available to me about what I eat and encourage others to do the same” are generally very reasonable people who I agree with in spades. but vegans who seem to think human beings are not themselves animals who are ultimately also part of the food chain but instead some kind of other paternalistic higher entity that can never engage in ethical and sustainable hunting practices (and especially the fringe I’ve seen who think other carnivorous animal predators are also evil and need to be eliminated) are people I regard as foolish at best if not actively anti-indigenous and racist

[becauseits]

veganism as an anti-capitalist endeavor in pursuit of greater liberation, not as a merely individual endeavor. veganism where everyone has a responsibility against animal agriculture, not just those who respect or empathize with non-human animals.

We are facing the largest mass extinction because people refuse to stop BUYING meat. Why do we have slaughterhouses while first nations people are facing food deserts? What you see is genocide and colonialism. Who cares about hunting. A deer died, yeah ok I'm sad but what about the millions of acres of habitat that were clear-cut for settler agriculture? A deer died but there will be more deer; there will be no more nēnē-nui. Turn the corn fields and CAFOs back into rainforests and rivers and grasslands.

It's not "veganism vs indigenous hunting," it's "veganism vs complicity in extinction." Animal agriculture took native lands away. Give it back. Stop buying animal products. Give it fucking back.

people like the idea that there is an identity they can claim that will absolve them of the responsibility to examine their beliefs and actions and adjust them accordingly to better align with their values and desired outcomes but there isn't, we all have to practice humility and do the work regardless

It is true that people in fandom equate top bottom with dom sub and probably mean the latter when they "headcanon" the former but I also think people need to be more open to the idea that D/s doesn't necessarily get indicated from personality either. Like for example a shy person who gets pushed around easily very well might enjoy having a dominant role with a partner they trust. That can even be affirming. Like BECAUSE of this issue you have in your real life to feel like someone will submit to YOU and defer to YOU is special for example. I think the idea that you just play the role that suits your personality in real life is part of why these same people seem to genuinely think being a Dom is like, kind of bad and scary

I identify the most with the woman who has a green velvet ribbon around her neck and keeps being like "DONT untie my neck ribbon or something really bad will happen" and then her husband unties the ribbon and her head falls off. this is extremely real to me. spent my whole life like "please don't do this thing to me or really bad stuff will happen" and everyone around me being like "that sounds fake" and doing it anyway. and then my head fell off!

the online identity and gimmick-ifying of autism is so odd. I'm diagnosed with autism and yet I barely identify with any stuff I see about it anymore. It feels like autism is being rebranded as the Silly Guy Disorder that gives you smart and beautiful hyperspecific interests. it's not that I mind silly jokes or being lighthearted about being autistic- but when the entire social movement is based around marketing us this way, I just can't help but feel isolated from it. it feels like I'm not the right kind of autistic. I'm not marketable and digestible to common audiences, and therefore I am discarded by the movement in the name of progress and acceptance. it feels foul.

A lot of lefties acquired their leftism through academia rather than through empathy with other human beings and it really shows.

Full transcript below:

"A lot of lefties acquired their leftism through academia rather than through empathy with other human beings. And it really shows, because the culture of intellectual supremacy—the idea that you can be fundamentally better than someone else because you know better than someone else—is evident in the way that they behave and the way that they interact with other people. Unless we are able to identify and rectify this schism (because it is a fundamental difference in how you are relating to these concepts), we can't effectively move forwards.

Now, the reason for me that this is so important is because that concept of intellectual supremacy—that you can be better than someone else because you know things that they don't—is rooted in a western Eurocentric colonial mindset. And it is typically internalized at such a deep level that it is fully embodied. Meaning people are not consciously aware that they are doing that. That's just their default understanding. So they don't recognize the nature of the problem that they are perpetuating.

It's normally pretty easy to identify these differences in people, because it's the difference between punching down or uplifting. Either you're trying to be better than other people and prove how much better than other people you are, or you're trying to make sure that everyone can be better together.

Now, the thing is, I get it. There is a big, big draw towards feeling better than other people. It feels good. That's literally what it's about. You feel good because you feel better than someone else. But it's something that we need to be constantly addressing and resisting, because it is a fundamental lynchpin piece of the psychological paradigm that we are trying to uproot.

For me, I think the solution centers around humanization of the enemy. We need to be able to look at the billionaire class. We need to be able to look at Israel as a nation. We need to be able to look at the far-right resurgence across the world and ask ourselves: what happened to those people? Why are they doing that? Not just "they're awful, scummy people"—they can be that too, because that's how they're behaving.

But we need to address the recognition of what went wrong. Yeah, it is insane and totally unacceptable to just assume that they are like that from birth, that they were born to be bastards. Doesn't work like that. If you've ever spent any time working with children and been able to actually do a fucking good job of it, you will recognize that no children are born evil. But you should have also been able to have recognized how rapidly pathological mindsets take hold of a child in this society.

We need to be constantly attempting to humanize everybody, no matter how much we disagree with them."
