: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'm out of the loop, what's PBC?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

An initialism for plant-based capitalism, which refers to companies engaging in practices where they hop on plant-based dietary trends without actually concerning themselves with ethical veganism. Many companies that engage in PBC can have unethical practices behind them. For instance, Impossible appears to sell products that are devoid of animal-derived ingredients, but they needlessly tested on animals to get to making these products. Animal testing obviously isn't vegan, but they don't care about ethics. For them, it's about using whatever sleazy mechanisms they can get away with in order to make money.
