i literally witnessed years ago Someone talking about amazonian(?) indigenous people, acting like they care, saying veganism hurts native ppl

and a literal person who was of that heritage, so native, spoke up- and got told to shut up

and i have seen this multiple times, not just native ppl but all types of marginalized identities. you know how much that fucking hurts to see? like physically?

to see people act like they care about these people, and when you correct them suddenly they tell you to shut up, or "they arent reading all that " or they block you?

because they refuse to update the information theyve been taught and change the perception they've grown

because they DONT care about native ppl they DONT care about black people they DONT care about autistic people THEY DONT CARE

Or else they would be happy to find that their rant about slave quinoa children is actually false. they would feel happy. but they don't

they seem disappointed

they

are disappointed

time and time again

when proven that there are no slaves

that there is no abuse

or they justify abuse when it comes to slaughterhouse workers

If this was from right wingers it wouldnt hurt as bad bc you expect it

but these are from leftists and not just new leftists- abolishionists- people who are far left who otherwise would be on board with what actual veganism is

people you trust to fight and stand beside marginalized communities because they are part of them

and then they act like right wingers and its so fucking exhausting

Ive told someone "Veganism is literally, simply, doing what you personally can do, within your self identified limits, to avoid all forms of unnecessary animal exploitation."

and they still got mad.

and that is loud and clear in my eyes

"do your best" and you get angry? ok

Anti-vegans are cowards.

They post in the vegan tag on a public website and then when they are called out for their dipshit takes, they cry and scream and block instead of “owning” those criticizing them despite claiming vegans are “too stupid” to do so.

They are especially cowardly little shits when the marginalized groups they were putting on a pedestal to use against veganism and animal rights (or other social justice issues like climate change, human rights, the environment, politics, etc.) come out of the woodwork to educate and/or criticize them.

They then proceed to ignore, argue with, block, berate, or *accuse those people of not being part of the groups that they are*. Because it’s so much easier to sweep them under the rug then to have hard and nuanced conversations or takes.

These people have fake morals, fake ethics, and are fake leftists.

We see you. We see your bullshit. It isn’t edgy, or cute, or funny. It’s misinformation just like that of right-wing conservatives. It makes y’all sellouts and grifters.
