:vegan-liberation:

Welcome to /c/vegan and congratulations on your first steps toward overcoming liberalism and ascending to true leftist moral superiority.

Rules

No plant-based diet bullshit or promotion of plant-based capitalism. Veganism isn't about you, it's about historical materialist anti-speciesism, anti-racist animalization, and animal liberation. Ethical vegans only.
No omni apologists or carnists. Babystepping is for libs, and we're not here to pat you on the back. Good faith questions and debate about how to fight for animal liberation are allowed.
No advocating violence to any species for any reason. If you think this is negotiable GTFO. This includes but is not limited to animal testing, slaughter, and mass euthanasia. Anything that promotes speciesism or the commodification of animals will be removed.
Use Content Warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content. Especially if a comrade requests it.
Questions about diet belong in c/food. It's also a great place to share recipes.
In all sections of the site, you must follow the Hexbear.net Code of Conduct.

Next time a carnist tone polices me, I'm gonna ask "What good is your advice on convincing people to be vegan when you couldn't even convince yourself?" (hexbear.net)

The tone-policing is entirely disingenuous. They say they want vegans to be less "rude" and "aggressive," but actually, they just want vegans to not have a spine.

You could unapologetically advocate for animal liberation and veganism in the most chill way imaginable, and they still would accuse you of being "forceful" and "pushy." This is just a thought-terminating cliché they abuse the shit out of because they think it compensates for the guilt that they have knowing that carnism is unethical.

If a vegan can calmly say, "You should stop supporting animal exploitation," and that still gets you riled up, that shit is definitely coming from within.

These are the same Reddity Le Epic Bacon brains that like to say smug "trigger the vegans" shit like "for every animal you don't eat I will eat two" and even "joke" about the cruelty aspects.

Yep, Citations Needed did an episode about this. It's a tactic old enough to have been used in defense of American plantation slavery.

That's a very good way to handle them. I'm going to use that.
