You know, i used to have more heated discussions about this, but now i feel like I matured a different view on this, at all. I conceive the freedom to chose on a personal ethical base above the idea of punching down ideas just because. Ideally, being vegan is just that, being vegan. You can be whatever… It’s not mandatory to be either.

I eventually found out that any amount of rage or hate for that was only projection of my special insecurities.

Veganism is such an elite issue like some people will fight everything except billionaires and the rich.

Veganism cant be and shouldnt be promoted especially in global south where children are still malnourished. Veganism also leads to dehumanization of certain cultures.

Well you can see cows as animals and as such living beings with rights (legally they don’t have those), or you can see them as objects used for food production.

And if there’s money involved you are using the objects to make money.

Colon cancer, motherfuckers!

Can we (vegetarian/vegan or NOT) all agree that centrism should be stopped in all forms?

I personally think we should close the loopholes in bestiality laws used by farmers.

You had no problem posting cow rape you sicko.

Vegan milks are nice to drink, but they are very very different to real milk. Having tea with oat milk is a sacrifice (almond and coconut are worse for tea - they lack the sweetness that counteracts the bitter elements of tea), it doesn’t taste as good but it’s ok. It’s a small sacrifice to make, but a persistent one (given that many of us rely on caffeine to function at work).

There is a moral argument to be made, and the moral argument has the high ground if you avoid looking too carefully (nothing in life is simple).

The real crux of the vegan argument is “can people also sacrifice this”, or is it one sacrifice too many in the world of compromises we endure. That’s a personal choice, and given the state of the world today, it isn’t one many will be able to make.

Interesting that someone could look at a normal (albeit unpleasant) veterinary procedure and immediately think of beasiality.

“This is the police! Hands up you FREAK!”

“omg thats so cool, can i bring my kids to watch and maybe they can try?”

It’s fucked up how people here only seem to have an issue with the cow getting artificially inseminated. The bulls can’t consent either. Just like with humans, people either don’t concern themselves with male consent, don’t think sexual abuse of men matters nearly as much as when it happens to women. I don’t really have an opinion on artificial insemination, I just found it fucked that this misandrist double standard is so strong it even extends to animals.

I think this post might be too powerful for lemmy shitpost.
