1. It won't happen overnight. You've probably misunderstood something. Veganism aims to minimize animal suffering caused by human action, not cut out all animals interaction from our lives. Imo a soft extinction is the best fate for over-domestcated animals such as 1egg/day chickens (pugs are another example).

2. what you're describing sounds like an unsutainable and broken system. You're comparing the price of "luxury" vegetables to average meat, and for a healthy meal you'd need to eat those vegetables anyway. We've already talked about this so let's just agree to disagree, I'll try backing up my claims with numbers in it's own post one day.

3. in point 2, you forgot the massive importation of soy that south USA takes from Brazil. It also strips local population from their food source and their forests. I do not really eat quinoa more than thrice a year. Animal agriculture has a really shitty yield, taking away the cattle from the equation frees more food and ground for rewilding or human consumption, its like "environmentalism 101".

You're projecting. Just say you can't afford a vegan diet (be it time or mental strain), I won't judge you for it, like I already don't judge every other carnist meat eater.

Margaret Killjoy writes fantasy (but modern time think) and is anarchist. I haven't read her books yet.

Terry Pratchett isn't too bad imo.

What misunderstanding do I have that would make me reconsider eating meat?

Veganism by definition focuses on the animals suffering lol. It may not be "radical" for you, but it is important for me.

Also it doesn't exist in a vacuum. Like intersectionalism, you know.

1. ok so the system you imagined, imagine it with people not eating meat. I hope that wasn't too hard.

2. what country/regiona/population are you talking about that only relies on meat to survive nowdays?

3. in the context of Weststern of probably every one on raddle, it is less destructive to not eat meat.

4. you started talking about fringe groups first, yet I'm the one weaponizing them? I'm not talking about Inuit whalers or Mongolian farmers when I say "go vegan", and you know that very well.

Of course we live in a society and every action we take is in reaction to that society. Maybe in 50yrs when 80% of the population is veg*an, we can think about saving those poor cow udders or question the ethics of fringe cases such as inuit hunting. I'm not rich btw.

It's because we understood the connection to our food that we decided to stop eating meat. Most vegans are thanks to an "awakening".

1. show me a sustainable food production system that includes meat, I'll show you a sustainable food production that doesn't.

2. meat has always been a Rich people's (or party) food, why is it only now that people totally rely on it to survive? (Hint, they don't)

3. Mass monocultures are used to feed cattle too.

4. do you rely on hunting/gathering to feed yourself, or do you get your meat from a grocery? While there are Factory farms we don't care about fringe groups.

   4 bis: also let's let icelanders kill all the whales and Japanese kill all the dolphins, it's "traditional hunting" so it can't be bad.

All I ever asked from life:

• sexy beard
• nice perfume
• eat every plant I come across
• little pebbles poo
• give no fucks

I want to be a 🐐 (goat)

@Dumai I nominate you

Also can we self nominate?

I think more of rocks when I think of desert.

I just finished my week of exams. It went good. I fucked up my quantum physics exam in the first semester, but I've done good enough this time to catch up, hopefully.

last Monday I got my visa for china. I'm leaving in less than a week, so that was a bit stressful.

what's your definition of civilization?

hi~~

We havent tried anarcho trans humanism yet

I wasnt feeling too good so I watched a few comedies this week: "instant family" is about adoption from foster care and exactly what I needed for my mood. I also watched "mr right", which is a action-rom-com.

I watched "She-Ra and the princesses of power". I liked it. It felt a bit trope-y at some times, but that's to be expected from a kid's movie.

I watched wayne, the youtube series. I liked it too.

I made a bow and arrow whesn I was younger. I also made a pretty cool slingshot when I was a teen.

I regularly make bushcraft stuff (tables, etc... I once built a tent platform).

the ban starts next week, so maybe wait until then to start reporting

so like srs, but for raddle :D

I didnt discover any new concepts in this text, but it's always cool to go back to the fundamentals.

I need to talk up more when my friends are being pieces of shit (I mainly need to confront them on the racist jokes).

fast charging also fucks up phone batteries faster and wastes electricity, but people want a near instant top-up so that's what the industry gives them.

What are your favorite? top 5 maybe?

AI written movies, inspired by the deep-learning from your google products.

it's unfortunate in terms of creativity, because by having curated content, people have less possibility to leave their comfort zone (for example, auto-play has less diversity than borrowing CDs from friends). I do not believe "sorry to bother you" would be possible in the scenario you explain, which is a shame.

What do you think of microdosing LSD?
