Reply to comment by moonlune in where my culture lovers at? by zoom_zip

I was responding to a question in good faith, because I happen to be in a position to have a tangent of this specific argument come up fairly regularly in my community.

It's been my experience in obscure little groups that checks are appreciated. So when someone rants hard, and includes vulnerable people in their reticle that in no way deserve the animosity, it's just been common place to say "yo, bud, there's this perspective here that you're missing"

Oh sorry it's just that this argument has been used so much by people to justify them buying meat from the store. No offense but if there's a counterargument to veganism, vegan anarchists have probably thought about it.

Also I was angry for other irl reasons when I wrote that comment I could have been more polite sorry.

It happens, no harm here. I'm glad that I'm not making your day worse, and I'm sorry too if I touched on common glittering generalities that get used to undermine the cause.

Also, if we're calm.

This isn't an insult, just something that's a bit concerning. The comment about not having phones has a bit of the colonial racism hanging onto it. It's factually incorrect, and potentially biasing Native people as technologically backwards.

I don't think there are that many people who have the ability to check raddle while only surviving on hunting (no gathering) and for which a vegan diet would be impossible.
