: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.

Waking up to PBC (hexbear.net)

Bell Curve Explanation:

Left Side: Some uninformed weirdo who thinks he can "own vegans [plant-based capitalism enjoyers]" by telling them this product isn't vegan because of something like the mayo it comes with or the fact that it shares a grill with beef burgers.
Middle: Someone who, either through ignorance or coping, thinks that endorsing plant-based capitalism can fall under veganism.
Right Side: A vegan who understands that PBC isn't vegan, and that's why such a burger wouldn't be vegan, especially with Impossible™'s animal testing controversies considered.

I ain't gonna shit on vegans as a general rule, but I also ain't gonna shit on a vegan for ordering some french fries. In some food deserts it's hard enough to find something without cheese in it. Given BK supports genocide and the TIL moment with Impossible doing animal testing, that feels concerning.

To be honest, I agree with this from a practicability standpoint. Going a life without feeding into PBC or even only feeding into it a just a little bit can be really fucking difficult, especially depending on where you are located. You can't escape plant-based capitalism because you can't escape capitalism itself (unfortunately). For example, some anti-PBC vegans think that, if possible, you should find local grocers that exclusively sell vegan products and are verified to be 100% ethical, but that is an unfeasible option for many of us. It definitely isn't something I can do with where I am in Florida, as much as I'd like to do it. This is a subject matter that you can adjust with accessibility, but a plant-based burger at a fast food restaurant where the rest of the menu is meat products is quite obviously not the hallmark of veganism that some people think it is. That being said, I don't necessarily fault, shame, or say "you're not a real vegan" if you soy out over Impossible whoppers and Beyond sandwiches at KFC. I just think a fair amount of education is needed at that point.
