      Nah i don’t wanna. Meat is too tasty.

      I commented just because, in contrary of what you said in the post, i think you can be easily ok with animal exploitation and still consider yourself a leftist.

      Having said that, i try to avoid meat when i can and i try to prefer a more vegetable based diet. Im just not ready to ban meat all around right now. As i said, i’d do it just for the enviromental damages of intensive farms, not because im compassionate about cows or chickens.

        But as you said you wouldn’t do it for the environmental damages, you won’t do it all. So you’re just talking complete shit.

          But that’s not the point i was originally addressing. You shifted the focus towards the fact i’ll be not going vegan.

          I made the ipotetic sentence that IF i would be going vegan i would do it just for the enviroment, ignoring the animal exploitation you addressed in the post, and by doing so i think my leftism would be intact.

          I was just saying that i dont agree with the fact that “veganism is leftism” and that the leftism of a person is also judged based on what he thinks of animal exploitation. If you want to stay here and point out im not going vegan because basically im too lazy, thats ok.
