Being Spanish this is specially true. "My" traditions are of torturing a bull inside a ring in front of an audience, so FUCK those traditions.

Just gonna casually use this moment as an excuse to show off my people's traditional foods

Manoomin (wild rice)

Three sisters, squash, corn-man-khrush and bean

It makes sense to me that, as someone with no context for someone else's cultural practices, I'm probably not the best person to advocate for change in that specific situation.

The most prolific forms of animal agriculture are obviously more destructive to culture and human life than almost anything on this planet. "The west wasn't won on salads" as they say. So anyone in a moral panic over culturally insensitive vegans doesn't actually care.

I always found this argument silly because there has never been a truly vegan culture in this planet's history anyway.

Even if there were, what this post is saying applies.

Good faith question: who is quoted saying culture dictates morality?

[-] AcidCommunist@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

You hear it argued in religious groups. "God gave us meat to eat so that is a reason to consume it" Another common one is something of the lines of "it is thanksgiving tradition to eat turkey" Edit: expanded my answer/ example

God also gave us cornbread and beans. Heh. Beans.

[-] starlord@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Oh, I hadn't heard it put that way. Didn't come up around a lot of religion.

Did anyone say specifically that culture dictates morality? I don't see how a deity's instructions are similar to a societal convention.

I hear it a lot in the south of the united states in the Bible belt, i have heard it on debates with earthling ed too.

edgy voice: actually God didn't give us anything

We should bring back virgin sacrifices. It was our culture after all
