The IRA claimed responsibility the next day, and said that it would try again. Its statement read:
Mrs. Thatcher will now realise that Britain cannot occupy our country and torture our prisoners and shoot our people in their own streets and get away with it. Today we were unlucky, but remember we only have to be lucky once. You will have to be lucky always. Give Ireland peace and there will be no more war.
Because most of the working class are convinced that this system is the best one, they just think the other political party and their voters are the reason everything sucks.
It's a LOT easier to get 10 people to cut 10% of their meat consumption than it is to get 1 person to cut 100% of it, and the results are exactly the same in the short term, and much better in the long term.
Except no one can reliably cut 10% off their dietary animal products, because people are terrible at realizing what they eat, and extremely effective at justifying their own habits. Realistically, 10 people cutting their animal products by 10% is completely meaningless.
imo it's a logical (next) step for socialists to not only oppose the exploitation of us humans by ourselves, but our exploitation of all intelligent beings
In my experience if you don't have a P card you are a very suspect leftist. Engels for real shows they are real AF so we need em bro for real. Just have to purity test em
This just seems like a bunch of straw-man arguments?
There's vegan fur and leather alternatives which aren't just plastic.
Actual fur and leather are also terrible for the environment.
No vegans are yelling at indigenous hunters or saying that people of color should be exploited, using other people's suffering as an excuse to hurt animals yourself is silly.
Have you ever actually seen a vegan go after indigenous people? Or have you just seen people complaining about nothing like in this tweet?
Why spend so much time and energy trying to undermine veganism for no good reason?
We're simply asking you to not needlessly exploit animals.
hard agree, tho I would say that all exploitation that stems from humans should be opposed. Indiginous (or just generally conscious) hunting, however, is necessary in todays world to keep at least some semblance of ecological balance and I would not compare it to exploitation on an industrial scale
and ofc Veganism without class consciousness is like environmental activism without class consciousness: just privileged gardening
Hunting is not necessary, humans killed all the natural predators because we didn't want them attacking livestock.
If we stopped animal agriculture then natural predators could be allowed back.
And we can use non-violent population control methods.
Also, deer are straight up bred and released just so people can hunt them.
Hunting is needless killing and cruel because we can easily thrive without.
What do we do in the mean time? You know that eco-system recovery is a veeery long process. Also idk if that is another case of US-exceptionalism but that would be the first time I heard of the practice of breeding deer just to release them for hunting (not smth I know from continental europe)
The model of requiring a license for hunting with a ~ a year of prior training (or some other proof of the necessary knowledge for those who grew up with it for example) and restricting it to certain times and species as long as we haven't introduced natural predators again (which is not always viable, mind you) is a good model imo
And just for shits and gigs, not that its anyone's business - I'm actually vegan myself lmfao I'm just able to realise that that doesn't give me any moral superiority over anyone and that what others eat isnt my business, destroying capitalism is.
I think veganism should be encouraged from a administrative level, but it's similar to the process of secularization. For example: You can't force people away from religion and it's abusive practices (or eating meat for that matter). Education campaigs and massive restructurings in all social fields to make it more accessible, be it in terms of the school system (,costs of food or adjustments in the health sector) are needed to further secularization (or veganization) imo
There will ALWAYS be people who eat animals, for medical or cultural resons and they should not be excluded.
The cruelty is in the industry not in a practice that is as natural as nature itself.
