#veganize the planet

[varii-corvid]

I honestly think we need to shift the conversation about environmentalism and focus on how interconnected we are. the modernistic framework of separating the affairs of humans and nature denies the mass atrocities that are being committed in both first and second nature spaces (first nature being the domain of the non constructed primordial worlds we neglect to steward, second nature being the domain of the constructed artifice of mechanistic control). it's time we built a third nature: a new ecosystem where technology and ecology aren't at constant odds with each other and the bloodshed for survival between animals is finally ended. third nature should share the knowledge we have with the natural world. open the borders entirely. I believe it should be a moral imperative to scientifically advance the quality and capabilities of self determination, cognitive freedom, morphological freedom and self expression for all beings. not as an act of paternalism, but of equalizing solidarity. human supremacy no more. universal egalitarianism for all beings. this is the solarpunk world I desire to create. no more bloodshed over predation or disease or starvation. no more endless wars built off of mass suffering. an end to all tyranny, from nature or otherwise. when we start dismissing evils as natural, injustice is excused. we are stuck in trauma cycle realism that we must break out of that. this pain will end some day and we will all heal. it's time for humans and animals to break the status quo. we cannot sustain a world built on suffering. period.

Can’t be vegan? Go vegetarian.

Can’t be vegetarian? Do meatless Mondays.

Trying your hardest (whatever that may be) to help animals and the environment is far better than sitting on the sidelines and watching it burn.

Non-vegans often defend their choices by saying that they eat "local meat".

Not even taking into account that plant-based foods are still much more environmentally friendly, they think they're in the best place to be a farmed animal. That all that horrible footage they don't want to see is taken somewhere else, far away. That the actually polluting parts of the process are only applicable to some foreign countries they probably couldn't name on a map.

It's not like that at all.

This animal abuse is happening here and now, all around the world. And most of the time they have the ability to make choices that affect the world around them every day.

Me going vegan won't make a difference

"I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized."

for every animal you don't eat, i eat 20

Unless you are specifically going out and hunting down animals yourself, this is literally not how it works.

That said, you know this isn't really the 'gotcha' you think it is, right?

Choosing to be more violent isn't a good solution for anything, but it's especially whack if your only reason is to try and spite a stranger on the internet.

You might want to do some soul searching to figure out why you're so angry and full of hate.

I promise there's better ways to live. ❤

seeing people talking about veganism without knowing one single fuck about it makes me super angry. i usually don't talk about it here but unfortunately i don't have control over everything i see here. some people really go out there judging other people etical choices because they don't want to feel bad about the harm they cause.

i know that my life causes harm but i'm here just trying to cause less harm inside the possible and practical. if you don't wanna help, fine that's your right. but can you let other people do what they can IN PEACE?

The way humans keep trying to detach themselves from nature is pretty gross and disgusting i think
