lots of people don’t have the means to go vegan. that’s fine. but when you sit around claiming that the capitalist system that subsidizes animal agriculture and promotes creating the most animal products at the cheapest prices isn’t one that inherently leads to large scale exploitation of animals on top of the large scale environmental impact of said exploitation then you are missing the forest for the trees
there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism. get over it and stop admonishing people for consuming under capitalism and look at the real problem please
@CyclopsCaveman tl:dr: veganism doesn't work very well without anticapitalism and a radical restructuring of our agricultural infrastructure.
you can be vegan for the animals and refuse to use animal products because your heart bleeds for the animals that are exploited day in and day out to support capitalism. you do you.
but the MINUTE you start proselytizing and shaming people for consuming animal products is the minute where you have to look in the mirror and face the fact that everything around you is the result of constant exploitation of workers and in some cases is the product of literal slave labor. if an omni is just as bad as slaver for eating meat and cheese then we are all slavers
