As a macro image, this sucks ass, even if I agree 100% with the messaging. Meat is murder in every western sense of the word.

I apologize i slapped this together with no knowledge of the canvas size

All fair, but where's the pizaz? Throw a smiling white woman eating a salad and a greyscale image of a sad-looking pig. The only way to effect change is to emotionally manipulate the Western urbanites.

I noticed the white people with privilege are the most vocal critics of veganism. They act pretty Roman if you ask me haha.

Of course they are. Their gated communities in the northern hemisphere are going to be the last affected areas of the climate change they're literally eating themselves towards. Why should they care?

While they also bring up the idea that it’s racist by being vegan as there is indigenous folks who have to hunt in foods deserts when in reality when you bring up the concept of veganism to the remote indigenous people they have a more nuanced view on it.

If Amerircan whites didn't have artificial differences to separate themselves from the darkskins, they'd realize there's really nothing different about them and that their position in the globalist hierarchy is completely arbitrary. Best to just let them think that encouraging meat-eating is actually a necessary evil and that they're the good guys for turning a blind eye on the pitiful, primitive habits of the poors.

I was tempted to throw a screencap from Dominion, but i rather not have to CW it.

Welcome

Welcome to c/vegan@lemmy.world. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.

What is Veganism?

'Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals ...'

— abridged definition from The Vegan Society

Rules

The rules are subject to change, especially upon community feedback.

Discrimination is not tolerated. This includes speciesism.
Topics not relating to veganism are subject to removal.
Posts are to be as accessible as practicable:
- pictures of text require alt-text;
- paywalled articles must have an accessible non-paywalled link;
- use the original source whenever possible for a news article.
Content warnings are required for triggering content.
Bad-faith carnist rhetoric & anti-veganism are not allowed, as this is not a space to debate the merits of veganism. Anyone is welcome here, however, and so good-faith efforts to ask questions about veganism may be given their own weekly stickied post in the future.
- before jumping into the community, we encourage you to read examples of common fallacies here.
- if you're asking questions about veganism, be mindful that the person on the other end is trying to be helpful by answering you and treat them with at least as much respect as they give you.
Posts and comments whose contents – text, images, etc. – are largely created by a generative AI model are subject to removal. We want you to be a part of the vegan community, not a multi-head attention layer running on a server farm.
Misinformation, particularly that which is dangerous or has malicious intent, is subject to removal.
