Seize the Memes of Production
An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the “ML” influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Well, times change and so does what words mean. Vegetarianism and veganism used to be somewhat radical philosophies, but nowadays, at least to me, they are normalised eating habits. I know all kinds of people who are vegetarian or vegan, with reasons ranging from health concerns to just not liking the taste of meat.
And in any case, I think gatekeeping veganism this way does no good at all.
That's like saying, "I know people who don't think women should be able to own property and vote, but they really love and support women, so that makes them feminist." No, it doesn't. Feminism and veganism are both moral philosophies. That means something. If you do not hold the respective philosophy, then you are not a vegan or feminist respectively.
Veganism is more than just not eating animals. You don't know what you are talking about, and you are arguing with people who do. Your arrogance is obscene.
You are the arrogant twat.
i think they prefer "jerkface"
