Hey, it would be awesome if you did that, but that’s not veganism. That’s environmentalism.
Let’s say that one day we discover how to replace an environmentally harmful process we all depend on for some aspect of modern life with one that requires animal ag. The environmentalist would switch. The vegan would abstain from both. Because they have different objectives.
The point i was waking reffered to the post, which implies the fact that leftism is tied to veganism and that NOT being vegan strip me of the tag of leftist. I disagree with that. I just then added my opinion on veganism which you corrected (rightfully). I would be enviromentalist then if i’ll happen yo stop eating meat.
Addressing the larger point: turning your back on mercy for vulnerable individuals and instead choosing needless cruelty and violence for nothing more than your own sensory pleasure (ignoring that you are being manipulated by capital to behave this way, except to acknowledge that I don’t entirely blame you) is an obvious abandonment of all core leftist values. You can’t be both things at the same time. You are depending on compartmentalization to separate this atrocity that you commit from your view of yourself as a leftist. But the lies you tell yourself are not convincing to others. (Well, those who don’t cling to the same lies, of course.)

Veganism is about animals.
