What is this hexbear rule? We are becoming the strawman fascists are making of us Edit: furthermore I think this does not help federation at all, I think we should follow the same principle that is used in extradition: it must be illegal in both states in order for the person to be extradite, or it needs to be illegal on both platforms to be removed, but again, that might lead to problems if a community deems racist jokes, for example, not illegal so we can’t do much about it, it’s an headache. Edit 2: i think I could be misunderstood easily, Im not attacking the platform, just saying that that’s a generally stupid rule.

Look, I’m not naive enough to think we can all go vegan on a while and I’m aware of things like native people using meat as ways to survive their sometimes harsh environments. But some comrades just get rabies the minute the word vegan is mentioned and start saying stuff like BOURGEOISIE BULLSHIT, completely ignoring different lifestyles and even non Western cultures all over the world. It just doesn’t help with the very serious discussion you can have regarding veganism and marxism.
You seem to be saying this as if it’s a self-evident good, or at least ethically neutral. Is anthropocentrism just some unquestionable tautology?
I appreciate that you can concede that warnings for things like raw meat or straight up animal slaughter are understandable and acceptable. I don’t want to see that shit literally just because it makes me (and I know others) uncomfortable. I’m also not talking about a picture of someone’s stew they made or whatever, I’m thinking more opaquely violent or evocative imagery. And as I said below, I tend to agree that a trigger warning for like, a block of cheese or whatever, is an overreaction that will likely only serve to alienate many that’s pretty far removed from the cultural understanding of animal agriculture and omnivorism generally. I’m interested in understanding your reasoning for believing animal liberation is impossible (I am asking in good faith, just so you know - not shitstirring or trying to proselytize radical veganism to you).

Someone might also be reminded of child slavers in Africa if they see a computer, so put a NSFW on that too, and someone might be reminded of sweat shops if they see clothes, so put a NSFW on that as well. I saw someone on here saying that people wouldn’t be upset about a child slave. Yes, they do get upset lmao. Who the fuck are you to decide whether people get upset about that or not? It’s a child being exploited. Why not do something so small as to put a content warning on your post for electronics and textiles?
Simple, because if you put a fucking content warning on everything then content warnings become pointless. Maybe vegans should just learn to chill.
