I escaped the Reddit regime a little while ago. I consider myself a marxist-leninist-MZT. Vegetarian and vegan for a few years. I’ve a lot of thoughts on how marxism and veganism are connected. Never wrote them down. I’d like to start smth like a club for marxist vegans to develop our own proletarian theory. Most vegan theory I found is either openly bourgeois (Francione is a literal TERF) or revisionist (anti-China, anarchist, libertarian). How about fixing this?

              no one lacks comprehension of the fact that humans have historically eaten meat. we’re just making the (obvious, factual) claim that you don’t require it to survive in any capacity. your body won’t shut down without it. i’m not particularly interested in how you like your corpses cooked, at this point i’m alternately making fun of your childlike palate and making it clear that your claim that humans “need” to eat dead animals is goofy as fuck and you should be embarrassed about saying something so ignorant.

                  You should stop embarrassing yourself as you have clearly no idea about what you’re talking about.

                  It is healthy and sustainable. There is multiple meta-studies confirming it and many gouvernemental associations of dietetics and nutritions say so, here is one such example.

                  You are the one forcing your “lifestyle” on sentient beings just because you enjoy it. Stop for 2 minutes and think what your behavior actually entails and what this means for your moral system.

                  Its clear you have no idea about what you’re talking about when you say that calcium is something you can only find in sufficient quantities in animal products. Stop typing like a toddler and go educate yourself.

                  Or do you seriously hold the position that milk from another mammal is necessary to the survival of humans despite the vast majority of them being intolerant to it ?

      Actually, we might be opportunistic omnivores. Animals that we might otherwise think of as herbivores, like deer and rabbits, will occasionally eat meat when they crave it and when a scavenging opportunity presents itself.

      o…kay? but that still doesn’t make it a requirement for you or anyone else. it’s just something you like. you can live without it just like every vegan does.

      i’m not forcing you at gunpoint obviously, just pointing out that your reasoning is completely silly

          yes, as is choosing to kill living beings in order to eat their flesh. you are making a willing choice to contribute to more suffering in the world.

              i’m a white person in the united states, so my ancestors probably did a lot of genocide mostly. i don’t think i’m going to look to their example for anything.

              you’re the one who’s afraid of vegetables lol, i don’t think you have any ground to stand on talking about what other people would and wouldn’t survive
