No one:

Non indigenous non-vegans: I can't stand it when vegans attack indigenous peoples.

OK, I get it. Vegans that pick on indigenous suck and should be called out. I've seen randos post on social media some bad takes. I'm not denying that it exists. If a vegan makes a bad point on indigenous topics and a carnist wants to jump in, I personally am not going to complain.

But the sheer number of times that I've seen a carnist derail a discussion on slaughterhouses. Like if no one is here mentioning indigenous people, it's pretty fucking sad and gross for you to do it. Is there nothing more creepy than using indigenous people to defend your treat privileges?

I just wish there was some real pushback for people doing this, because it's some real reactionary bullshit.

Same energy as when white evangelicals accuse anti-Zionists of being antisemitic.

Yeah, it always strikes me as a bit dehumanizing to see people talk about indigenous persons as some "other" especially when they seem to be trying to be inclusive about it

Indigenous reservations in America are resource scarce and are food deserts. Diabetes and alcoholism is prevalent in these communities because its the poorest part of the country by a far and the only food available for miles is processed garbage

food deserts

they're mostly just literal deserts

If this wasn't Hexbear and I wasn't a mod, I wouldn't even bother to mention this. AV is an OK org, but Paul Bashir has had a few reactionary opinions, something along the lines of "intersectional vegans are toxic". Honestly they're all fine and I welcome people to organise with them, they're just pretty centrist.

But this meme is a correct take.

I guess I get his point. But that take isn't making any friends.

Thanks for sharing.
