Hey comrades,
I’m a part of a discord server called Vegan Theory Club that’s run by mix of leftist tendencies. It’s a theory club that’s explicitly leftist and vegan, but we talk about more than just the book of the month.
We just started reading Eternal Treblinka - Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust by Charles Patterson, which we voted for. (Our last book was Kapital.) Right now is the perfect time to join!
We’d love to have you!
u/liftandsenditup - originally from r/GenZhouThis is being deceptive. You are defending the status quo against a popular criticism, unless you specifically state the diet you are arguing FOR, arguing against veganism is an implicit support of typical western diets, which features meat at every meal. People will have to make assumptions when your arguments are vague and that is your fault.
u/PaiosFranen - originally from r/GenZhouAlso your american centric assumptions are weakening your position even more. No, anglo diet is not the only western diet. I live in the mediterrenean area and we eat much less meat than you do. We eat a lot of carbohydrates (pasta, rice, beans, stuff like that mainly). We also eat meat but not on a daily basis, nowhere near that. In fact, many doctors have recognized the mediterrenean diet as a quite healthy one. Maybe you should learn more about the world outside America before making such accusations huh?
u/liftandsenditup - originally from r/GenZhouYeah, for sure. Quote me where I said you live in America and eat an American diet tho?
u/PaiosFranen - originally from r/GenZhouOh im being deceptive, not you by strawmanning my argument! Again, where did i say that an all meat diet is recommendable? Quote me genius. Let me guess, you are angry because i exposed your idealistic antimarxist ideology? Too bad, i dont care about your feelings, i only care about material reality, as all marxists should. What diet would be ideal? I dont know, maybe we could leave this question up to doctors, to people who dedicate their lifes to study this, instead of to random internet militant vegans who have studied 0 physiology and have 0 understanding of just how damn complex human metabolism and its relation to diet is. Or even easier, you can simply mind your own business and not impose your niche idealistic feeling based ideology on anyone else that doesnt want it. Anyway, now you can go back to strawmanning me.
u/liftandsenditup - originally from r/GenZhouLove that you’re so worked up over this. I started my first comment with “veganism is bullshit” but apparently I am the one straw manning you. Why does veganism trigger you so much?
Edit: I know I shouldn’t be arguing with children on the internet but this is rlly fun.
