Veganism Rant
Disclaimer: it’s just a rant of a tired autistic punk who was active in XRY for a while. I’m not hating on people who genuinely just don’t like animal products or just don’t feel good morally whe eating meat etc. It’s just about political veganism (I’m not sure what else to call it) and veganism in activist spaces.
I genuinely HATE how most of eco activists see veganism.
I understand if you think that it’s morally bad to eat meat. I understand if you don’t want to eat it. But saying or behaving like it’s a morally superior practice - that’s absolute bullshit.
Vegans who try to guilt trip people into becoming vegan/vegetarian are not morally superior - but somehow they think they are. They’re not morally superior for advocating for eliminating meat from everyone’s diet. They’re just assholes and I’m tired of pretending that they aren’t.
They’re not making the world better by saying that all consumption of animal products is bad.
Often the vegan alternatives are just as bad for the environment as animal products. And I just can’t understand why are they focusing on the meat and animal products? Those aren’t the problem. The real problem is the industrialisation of the process of production. Animal products aren’t bad - the overwhelming number of animals and the inhumane conditions they live in are the problem.
There are so many people who can’t or just don’t want to resign from eating animal products. I can’t stop eating animal products encaustic I’m an autistic person with a long history of eating disorders and very bad sensory issues. If I stopped eating animal products I’d have to survive on fruit juice, pickles and rice waffles. And I don’t want to resign from animal products because I don’t want to resign from my culture. I don’t want to resin from the classic dishes from my country and traditional regional products.
And the most infuriating thing is that when I try nicely discuss this stuff they either ignore me or don’t listen to my arguments at all. I really want to be active in XRY but it’s impossible when everyone is making me feel like the most despicable human being on Mother Earth because I can’t/won’t switch to veganism/vegetarianism
I swear to gods - if another vegan/vege/eco activist tells me I should go vegan/vege I’ll start biting and stealing knees (/hj)
