Well I suppose if you compare a vegan who only eats deep fried almonds in palm oil drenched in agave who buys new pleather jackets all the time and imports that from the other side of the planet with a carnist who only eats local poultry from a family farm and sews their own clothes then the vegan could be worse for the environment. I just don’t think that’s the actual dichotomy

[isleypig]

People hate me for my controversial opinions such as “don’t abuse animals for human gain” and “let’s lower our carbon emissions”

[isleypig]

It’s so annoying how vegans can’t even talk about what they believe without it being seen as pushing veganism onto someone. Like, so many nonvegans act like talking about veganism is the same as verbally abusing them into it

[isleypig]

Actually I think forcing an animal to be pregnant every year of their life and subsequently slaughtered just to get their milk is cruelty and not good for them. I actually think that sounds like torture.

[isleypig]

So many carnists act like talking about speciesism automatically means you’re erasing more “important” issues like no this is still because of capitalism and hierarchical society you just don’t care about animals

[isleypig]

Oh. That’s anti-veganism. That’s anti-veganism coming from my comfort mutual

[isleypig]

“plants are alive too” “eating meat is natural” “vegetables use slave labour” “fake leather is made of plastic” “cows need to be milked” “veganism is racist” “it’s symbiotic” “bees can leave whenever they want” “slaughter can be humane” “fish don’t feel pain” “hens eat their eggs if they aren’t debeaked” “ethical breeding” “sheep overheat if they aren’t sheared” “agave is bad for bats” “what about allergies” “local meat” “vegans encourage eating disorders”

[isleypig]

It’s all “dont be silent about injustice for others comfort” until it’s animal liberation
