I think leftist activism got easier after going vegan bc the whole praxis is different. One animal doesn't die and that matters. One person eats less meat and that matters. You do what you can and honestly, we're a whole lot more vegan now, years after I started, than we are leftist.

[but-a-humble-goon]

It makes me so furious whenever you see people cite PETA as "those animal rights people" even as a joke. I think we should all make a serious collective effort to correct that misconception in culture whenever it comes up. They are literally mass murderers of animals.

*peta kills animals*

everyone: WOW! That's horrible, I can't believe anyone would associate with them!

*farm kills animals*

everyone: *doesn't give a shit*

[vegance]

they are also the specific target of a right wing lobby group, whose other enemies include the cdc, moms against drunk driving, and anti tobacco legislation. meaning when you come across some anti peta information, it might be worth it to look into the possibility that you you are falling for right wing propaganda

[vegan-butch]

Once more, some of y'all have no idea what veganism means. It is an ethical objection to using animals for our own selfish purposes. It has nothing to do with how nice you are to the animals.

I don’t know if it’s more infuriating or depressing that I will be scrolling through a blog on tumblr dot com where it’s clearly very leftist and progressive, and I’m smiling and nodding along with everything they’ve posted so far -

- to then have to abruptly stop and do a 180 take on some anti-vegan, conservative-styled take and stop my brain from convulsing from the astronomical hypocrisy.

Like how

How did you seriously take the time and space to seriously question the systems you grew up with, the ethics and the morality and the social justice abuses that come with it

Around stuff like economics (especially capitalism), social structures that have deeply embedded themselves into mundane daily life (racism, sexism, classism, and so many others)

Where you took the time and resources and potential social ostracization to look up significant people, groups, and movements

Where you spent countless hours looking at actual statistics and data that was peer reviewed and looked at by laypeople and experts alike, doing this for free for The Good of Humanity

To then look at veganism, animal rights, and the human and environmental consequence to go

“Yeah but not this thing. I am totally immune to propaganda. I will not question the who and why and how of why things are the way they are and will blame those fighting it instead.”

[arsenic-clownip]

by the way the fact that "youre treating me like a child/animal" arre synonymous to "youre treating me badly" really shows how we as a societyy treat animals and minors.

I swear people love to make up a vegan to get mad at any time they disagree with a single talking point someone in that movement has ever had.

FIY, the movement isn't just about "not eating meat", it's about not wanting to contribute to shit like factory farming. Try looking into their actual talking points sometime beyond the stereotypical vision of the movement in your head, beyond trying to debunk them. Before you go "Um actually this thing is more harmful for the environment", look at the environmental harm behind the thing they're trying to replace, or even better, try to look up how many vegans actually support the alternative, because the movement is not a monolith.

for a Webbed Site that's got so many queer ppl preaching that people who are less informed abt issues need to read up and change their views, tumblr is SO anti-vegan that it's actually insane. like, y'all are WAY too comfy not reading up on things when it comes to food. and being unwilling to change your views is...uh. the opposite of what you want others to do for you? LMAO. now that that's said: i will NOT tolerate any anti-vegan bullshit on my dash and i WILL unfollow you <3

[primrosing]

i’m literally so angry right now. you cannot be an animal lover and support the meat, dairy, and egg industries. we KNOW what goes on. we KNOW that the animals are constantly abused. we have all the evidence. you can’t just turn a blind eye, you can’t advocate for kindness peace and positivity and use animal products.

[primrosing]

when ur eating something vegan and nonvegans are like do you even know what that is made of and then they are flabbergasted if ur like yes its made of [blank]. its such a good feeling

[primrosing]

people who eat lamb are crazy. baby is right there in the name. everyone knows that lamb=baby there’s no disconnect there. they killed a baby for a meal you’ll just end up forgetting anyway

[primrosing]

i am a soyboy thru and thru. i love tofu, miso, soy milk, edamame, soy curls, tvp, soysauce. the soy bean has given us so much, god bless her

[leresq]

I have a conspiracy theory that most anti-vegan sentiment and the popularity of PETA is completely artificial and manufactured by people whose billion dollar industries rely on animal exploitation in the same way oil lobbyists try to discredit climate change activists by funding groups that associate the entire movement with a bad taste in the mouth also fuck terfs

"I could be vegetarian but not vegan!"

Then go vegetarian!!!

"i couldn't go vegan, I love cheese too much"

Then go vegan except for cheese!!

"I'd go vegan but I just can't live without (non-vegan brand of cookies)"

Then go vegan except for that non vegan brand of cookies!!!!!

Ultimately everyone should have veganism as their end goal, but you NEED to start somewhere! You cannot achieve any goal if you just do nothing!

[thatveganwhiterose]

I love seeing vegan blogs on here reblogging from each other. Love seeing the community support one another by sharing people’s thoughts, studies, information data, art, and just anything else surrounding veganism and animal rights.

❤️

Taps the "anti-veganism is an inherently conservative sentiment" sign for the 100th time in my time on this website.

[cheapvodkaenjoyer-deactivated20]

Vegans are the correct ones and I apologize to every single vegetarian/vegan and anyone who preaches about consuming less meat for making fun of yall.

Now I have to eat vegetables because i cannot stop thinking about the fact this chicken on my plate was plucked from nothingness and then tortured until slaughtered so i could have a tasty meal when all of this was very much avoidable by me eating beans.

Shoutout to vegans for being the only sane people in this INSANEEEEEEE system and for holding onto your values every single day, with every single meal. Honest to god that level of morality is to be admired.

Anyways fucking hate vegetables and fucking hate being alive cant even fart on this planet without it somehow not being moral.
