Every liberal does it too, from center right radlibs to far-right “conservatives”: the most extreme right fringe liberals hate the mainstream liberals for not being bigoted enough, the mainstream libs hate the radlibs for not being cruel enough, and the radlibs hate the left for not being chauvinist enough.

Denouncing chauvinism in particular is like a liberal moral event horizon, a cardinal sin against their self-interested belief in the righteousness of the imperial hegemon that keeps the treats flowing at gunpoint.

    note that my disparaging attitude towards carnists and vegetarians on hexbear also carries over to whoever banned me from c/vegan 2 or so years ago for not being reductive and racist enough about indigenous people

    also note that if you aren’t vegan you aren’t allowed to have an opinion on either indigenous veganism or my ban

      I’m vegan and I don’t expect people outside of cities to be vegan. Expecting indigenous people who are systematically put into food deserts would be just silly IMO. But anyone in the city should go vegan. Tbh I still don’t get how people who don’t forage and hunt as the means of getting food aren’t vegan. The costs of animal products are wild.

        There’s also some really really good alternatives that are actually cheaper. Especially if you can find a discount store. Though in a similar note I am really lucky in that I work in one of those discount stores.
