Veganism seems to fall so obviously out of leftist beliefs, there are definitely other ways to get there but even if you are a speciest animal ag is so wantonly destructive, intensive, exploitative, colonial, and abusive to human workers not being against it is a big question mark.
I want to be charitable to people, I understand that deprogramming yourself can take a while, but when people have been aware that veganism is an option for months/years without taking any material steps… I dunno, are you just a treatlerite mad you don’t have enough treats?
Has anyone had any real progress making other leftists they meet vegan? I’ve only managed to get three people to permanently adopt the philosophy in my life. None of those were particularly leftist, just justice sympathetic.
edit: I actually want to hear from other vegans in the vegan comm. Shocking I know.
I feel your pain. Its ironic when there are loved ones that claim to be “animal lovers” while devouring an animal that knew nothing but torture its whole life. Even better when there are just as good vegan alternatives RIGHT NEXT TO IT on the menu and they still decide to go with torture.
Luckily my partner is also vegan, so I can rant to them about it later, but its really painful to watch the ignorance in real time.
