Ah sorry, I misunderstood what you were trying to say about budget. Thanks for the info regarding the clothing!

That’s a nice summary, although I don’t agree with all points you made (namely that being vegan increases the cost of food) but this will be highly dependent on where you live in the world and wont be materially feasible for everyone currently. I’ll dare say that legumes are probably cheaper than meat almost everywhere in the world though.

I think one obvious reason as you stated is that veganism and probably animal liberation theory could not become as widespread before the material condition for realizing it were widely available. I think B12 synthesis was achieved in the 1940’s so a fully vegan diet would have probably been complicated before that. Warm clothes would also be more complicated (disclaimer: I’m not that versed in clothing so there might have been other ways than fur that did not involve petroleum based materials)

On your point of food security there is actually a project named Food Empowerment Project that tries to advocate for food security through plant-based agriculture and also advocates for farm workers right, it’s based in the USA however.

lmao I’ve visited the balkans many times, namely Bosnia and Croatia and never had any issues with being a vegan. You do realize there are vegans in the balkans right? Most people I met there were way more understanding of it than you seem to be, but I guess you think your region would beat up people for disagreeing. Sorry to disappoint you but your region is better than you.

All you do is weak appeals to nature and you even tried to justify your shitty view by invoking Jesus lmao.

You’re the one coming into a post specifically asking about how vegan communists could get together and antagonizing people, who is the one stirring shit up? I guess for you the only people that are nice are the people that don’t speak up about things they believe in. Are you a fucking centrist lib? "The only leftists I like are the ones that shut up about it" is a lib take comrade.

To educate you on milk as you apparently have never thought about how milk is produced, you do realize that mammals only produce milk when they have a baby right? Here’s how milk is produced in our society:

• You masturbate a bull and get their semen
• You forcibly inject this semen in a cow’s vagina while shoving your fist in their anus to hold their cervix
• You wait 9 months.
• You take away their baby veal after they are born and either send them to slaughter for veal or to the barn to follow the same destiny as their mother
• You repeat this cycle every year until the milk production of the cow decreases enough so that it’s not profitable to keep the cow alive (usually no more than 5-6 years, whereas thein normal life expectancy can be 15-20years)
• Then you send the cow to the slaughterhouse.

Killing is most of the process of producing milk. If you gave me the choice between being a dairy cow or a meat cow, I’d choose being a meat cow anyday of the week as at least the suffering would be lessened.

You should stop embarrassing yourself as you have clearly no idea about what you're talking about.

It is healthy and sustainable. There is multiple meta-studies confirming it and many gouvernemental associations of dietetics and nutritions say so, here is one such example.

You are the one forcing your "lifestyle" on sentient beings just because you enjoy it. Stop for 2 minutes and think what your behavior actually entails and what this means for your moral system.

Its clear you have no idea about what you're talking about when you say that calcium is something you can only find in sufficient quantities in animal products. Stop typing like a toddler and go educate yourself.

Or do you seriously hold the position that milk from another mammal is necessary to the survival of humans despite the vast majority of them being intolerant to it ?

Omnivore means you can eat meat, it does not mean you need to eat meat.

Hey, I’ve been vegan for a few years and would be interested in it as well. I’ve mostly read theory on speciesim related to racism (Ko sisters) and related to validism (Sunaura Taylor). I’ve discussed this subject in an informal manner many times in socialist/anarchists movements with other comrades.

I have a book in my to-read since a few months (https://cup.columbia.edu/book/animal-oppression-and-human-violence/9780231151894). I don’t know the author, but it looks like it’s explicitly trying to draw a link between capitalism and animal exploitation. I’ll probably get to it in 1-2 months.

Here is also a comment where I tried to explain informally why I think veganism is worth it and not just an individualist action but a political statement https://hexbear.net/comment/5751548

Why do these chuds think "tankies" love Russia? Is it because in their mind when you hate the US imperialism you automatically love Russia? Do these chuds have no coherent thinking? Why would I ever love current Russia, a capitalist country run by oligarchs?

These persons have just constructed an imaginary image of what a "tankie" is, while never engaging with any. Typical libs, they always see the world with big baddies who do bad stuff because they are evil and love it.

Sorry for the rant I’m tired and pissed off.

I mean, I know people that literally think that's how socialism works

Basically your post is already "posted" there. Anyone with a mastodon account on an instance that federates can see it. They could either paste on their mastodon search interface the url to this post and see it appear as a mastodon message. They could then reply on mastodon and it would show for you here on your lemmy instance.

They could also follow your account on mastodon or a community just as if you were a mastodon user and then see your posts on their timeline.

I have no idea for your first question.

Yes I'm sure but it depends on your theme. For example, Shydactyl theme must be customized to display favicons

Tridactyl? I prefer it to vimium due to native messaging support
