That's why I'm against centralised cobalamin production or cobalt extraction. Apparently they don't use metallic cobalt anyway.
Cobalt is a part of soils in some places, mostly already depleted though. I'd argue that filtration (mimicking bivalves) of ocean water in limited amounts and spread apart could solve several problems related to material extraction.

I'd argue that just because me, you and your friends don't know how to synthesise or aquire B12, it doesn't mean that it is justified to kill or exploit animals directly for that purpose.

Approximate molecular weights of
Cobalamin : 1355 mg/mol
Cobalt : 59 mg/mol
(1mg/1355mg) * 59 mg ≈ 43µg
Amount of cobalt in an annual dosis of 500µg B12 daily or 1000µg B12 every second day:
43µg * (365/2) = 7,847.5µg
For 8 billion people:
7,847.5µg * 8,000,000,000 = 62.78 metric tons

Do cats piss poems?
Appreciate the contextualisation. Reflectively, a lot of texts seem indeed as territory-marking.
Piss off, they'll say and I'll remember reading territory.

Do you need to eat bivalves?
I feel like this is not about veganism and more about agriculture. Don't you think vegans want to source their materials without suffering too? This is the inverted 'Vegans are radical'-discourse.

There is no need be hostile.
The Militant Vegan discourse.
there is suffering all over.
Same energy as 'Striking is bad, because suffering exists', following that would render any resistance to human climate impacts baseless - an ideology of trauma reproduction.
plant suffering (science)
The questioned existence of plant suffering does not matter for the question of ethical consideration for non-human animals. Killing a cow, because legumes might feel suffering too, does not compute.
perpetrator's suffering
I see a pattern here: Others' suffering does not make producing intentional, unnecessary and avoidable suffering ethical. It is still immoral to kill a boar for fun when you live in an autonomous anarchist space.

Note that the 'Ascetic Veganism' discourse is a common talking point of anti-veganism. It stands next to 'jokes' such as 'Eat Grass!'. Some vegans internalise this discourse and conflate veganism with religious diet regimes.

Why is the insufficiency of agriculture a reason against veganism and for more suffering?

Reply to Dealing with cops when nonverbal? by rattledlove1139
A person I knew did this on purpose (as in "Don't talk to Cops", also language barrier). They were somewhat dependent on the people around them to make demands specific to the situation (toilet access, warmth/shadow, water, food, information etc.).
No one is safe from cops and their behaviour, but sometimes they trade partial cooperation with partial accomodation, but firstly, ALL COPS ARE BASTARDS, and no one can ensure you that they do, secondly, cops are treacherous, cooperation once given can turn on you.
It's largely context specific.

Reply to comment by rattledlove1139 in What’s an unpopular opinion that you hold when it comes to anarchism or general leftist thought? by byro1234512345
I wonder if therapists who do CBT-AR could be convinced to include the knowledge about vegan nutrition, that has been produced so far. I hope you can get better if that's what you want.
Soy
Plant-based diets are unfortunately often seen as an additional product, I suspect this is class-based. There are definitly ways to have plant-based diets without soy, but it seems difficult when comparably expensive vegan soy products are flooding supermarkets and vegan discourses.
More than one disability
Yes. People with more than disability often have to rely on people around them (carnist 'society'), but the problems of carnism will increase the prevalence of those disabilities, I assume. Therefore, similar to measures against the excessive spread of pandemics, I'd argue that those who are absolutely able to be vegan, should be(come) vegan, decrasing carnism.
