Veganism has the same problem as feminism
Two days ago I had an old friend over around lunchtime, we have adamant disagreementโs on a plethora of subjects and weโve bumped heads repeatedly throughout the years in the same fashion. I believe her toxic liberalism has brainwashed her into having a judgemental and self flagellating personality complex as a compensatory force of two divorces, contact-less progeny and being raised by a single mother. But because we go way back (when I was wrongfully inclusive in spirit due to the ardent of my youth) I gave her another chance to catch up. Upon her entrance she saw me taking a caveman style chomp into a succulent pork chop held by the bone after a solid session at the gym.
Old friends, people with differences getting together, a belly full of protein and health.
It all sounds good right?
Wrong. Out of the blue she tells me eating animals is repulsive, I am stripping other sentient beings of their choice, a human chauvinist, that history is not on my side and finally that the life of another is more important than my taste preference. She finalizes her flippant rant in typical vegan activist nature by calling me โdisgustingโ and stating the answer is towards radical empathy.
I did not expect such an illicit response and recognize this had been built up for some time due to the cathartic feel of her voice, but this sounds way too familiarโฆ
I see that she has completed her transformation of professional activist, and like a previously heated debate we discussed on the traditional roles in gender she was the first to throw ad hominems whilst displaying an inability to move forward.
Heres the thing, veganism (like feminism) as a movement donโt care about animals - they are using them.
If there is innate power defaulted by nature in any externally identifiable demographic - it is to be eliminated to satiate their addiction to the do gooders high of making things fair. If these people could have it there way the planet would be a nice round gray rock with no expression or life, the cleanest outcome. โNo gender, no races, no tradition, no wisdom and no meat.โ You will never see a group of omnivores on the streets marching in support of factory farming, that is absurd. We donโt care if you donโt eat meat, we donโt believe there are no good men and we donโt see the racist cops.
The activist mentality is born out of embitterment and the collection of individuals who do such things have been universally unpleasant, and that says it all.
When Mikhaila Peterson took the stage to debate Carol Adams on moving Beyond Meat at Oxford Union, there were thousands of reactions transfixed on the absurd weaving of unrelated social justice themes together by the latter.
But thereโs nothing to be surprised about, actually its refreshing to see an honest vegan. Have a listen below:
โWhat we choose to eat has consequences far beyond the circumference of our plates. Specifically, your vote tonight expresses our allegiance to or rejection of a white supremacist patriarchal worldview.โ - Carol Adams, Beyond Meat Debate (Oxford Union)
This is the new puritanism, a rejection of diversity, color and intellectual difference. Tribalism that negates all sense of humor, debate, depth, honesty and perhaps most importantly fun. This puritan movement holds expectation of mechanized perfection from others without any amelioration of the demons within their own head. A radical obsession with holding the moral high ground rather than acknowledging the realities that exist in human nature. They are hypocrites that believe ceasing one modus operandi exalts themselves with the power to cast the first stone onto others who havenโt done so. Anyone who regards themself as an activist is embodying the archetype of the high chair tyrant, the entitled toddler crying in his or her kitchen stool demanding unconditional attention and resources.
โNo gender, no races, no tradition, no wisdom and no meat.โ
