I don’t agree with the gatekeeping of the take from a literal point of view, but rather I think that the sentiment of “It is reactionary to support exploitation and oppression, and it is hypocritical to claim that you oppose it while still continuing to support it” that leaks from it is spot on
Also, I gotta love how someone posted two separate comments within a minute of each other just to articulate a very short point of this take being “ableist.” That’s 100% indicative of seething.
I also love (this time using this word unironically) that she’s a fellow black vegan communist who is sick of non-vegan leftist bullshit.
How the fuck is eating fruit and veggies “ableist”? I’m fucking serious. What the fuck are they trying to say?
I mean, “you’re not a true X unless you consume Y” is a generally bad take. Insisting Fidel Castro was a :LIB: because he ate ice cream is pure CIA-tier baby brain.
But I suspect this is some kind of dipshit “I need hamburger or I’ll die” pseudo dietary science. Jordan Peterson informed nonsense that’s built on the back of toxic hyper-masculine Redpill propaganda.
While not being the best example, my partner isn’t capable of being vegan currently due to gastrointestinal issues that force a very restrictive diet - which relies on some amount of meat.
That said all these comments are nowhere close to thinking about that type of nuance.
I mean, its always been “as far as possible and practical”
