Yeah I suppose. Doesn’t help that I’m actually banned from feddit.org for calling out this countries assistance to genocide so half the g*rmans can’t actually see it.

No this is what veganism is. Veganism goes back to the Vegan Society and it’s fight for the rights of non-human animals. Many people claim to be vegan without actually being vegan and I will not be diluting the definition. Veganism is at it’s core about animal rights. There are plenty of reasons to go with a plant-based diet. A plant-based diet is part of veganism, but they are very much not the same thing. If someone claims to be vegan but still goes to the zoo or buys pets they did not understand what veganism is.

Veganism are the consumption practices of people advocating for animal liberation. It’s not just about diet but also leather jackets/zoo visits etc. It’s not like being part of an animal that imbues the individual molecules with some mystic energy that renders them off limits, it’s that 99.99% of the time that obtaining these molecules in sufficient quantities requires overstepping boundaries of consent if not outright murder/slavery.
But I would consider scavenged meat for instance vegan, I still wouldn’t because meat gives me the ick now, but I don’t see how it is contrary to animal liberation (provided it doesn’t disrupt other animals mourning rituals or something similar). Or rescued sheep still require shearing. It’s not as brutal as farmers shearing and obviously not done with the wool in mind but rather the sheep. So the sheep are typically shorn(?) sooner than enslaved sheep and not as close to the skin, making “vegan wool” quite a bit harder to work with, but I would consider socks made out of that wool vegan.

Maybe “voluntary” isn’t the best word in the “free will” sense, but it clearly requires no coercion
- Comment on spoopy figs 2 weeks ago:
Wild figs may be but as soon as you’re cultivating fig varieties that require the fig wasp, you are artificially increasing the wasp population specifically to perish, in order to sustain human horticulture.
That’s still different to animal exploitation. Veganism are the consumption practices of people advocating for animal liberation. This is not contrary to that, “milk” and “honey” are produced by the animals for a specific reason, namely their young. Even if it were possible to obtain them without harming the animal (and there isn’t, both require animal death if they are to be produced in consumer quantities) there still is the problem of consent. It is clear that bees and cows under normal circumstances do not want to give away their milk/honey. The wasp however is already dead, it is not harmed by eating the fig and it’s consent is no longer part of the equation.
If the fig cultivation reaches a level where the wasps have to be kept under circumstances similar to the bees then yes I wouldn’t consider the figs that require these wasps to be vegan.

scavenging is considered yucky but I don’t see any reason to consider it unethical per se unless it disrupts other animals mourning rituals
- Comment on spoopy figs 2 weeks ago:
This is more in the “dead worms in the compost make their way into the vegetables we eat” wheelhouse than in the “lets steal these animals labor for their young, risking death and injury to the workers while doing so” wheelhouse
- Comment on spoopy figs 2 weeks ago:
yeah
- Comment on spoopy figs 2 weeks ago:
They are most fruit require insect pollination, as long there is no forced labor or murder it’s still vegan
- Comment on spoopy figs 2 weeks ago:
No because it’s entirely voluntary on the wasps part

🤣 the public has the gestapo following them around and isn’t doing shit. The US is cooked they can do whatever. They’re not even bothering with a proper pretext to this war. “Uhhh what do we say why we bomb them?” “I dont fucking care ask slopgpt if you need slop for the public”
“We’ve been at war with them for 47 years!!!”
and the soldiers just do “their duty” and go get themselves blown up

lol you are a zionist bootlicker caping for pissraeli bombs I tried to get through to you that the zionist entity was always genocidal since the nakba.

lmao fuck off

You think the zionist entity has a right to defend it’s stolen land, don’t you?
- Comment on Current events dictate that I post this. 3 weeks ago:
Do you agree that the Nakba was a form of genocide? Do you believe that Isntreal has a “right to defend” what it stole during the Nakba and since?

Genocide has a different definition so that’s simply not true.
According to Yehuda Bauer:
[Genocide is] the planned destruction, since the mid-nineteenth century, of a racial, national, or ethnic group as such, by the following means: (a) selective mass murder of elites or parts of the population; (b) elimination of national (racial, ethnic) culture and religious life with the intent of “denationalization”; © enslavement, with the same intent; (d) destruction of national (racial, ethnic) economic life, with the same intent; (e) biological decimation through the kidnapping of children, or the prevention of normal family life, with the same intent… [Holocaust is] the planned physical annihilation, for ideological or pseudo-religious reasons, of all the members of a national, ethnic, or racial group.
Aside from © I think all apply to what Israel has been doing forever.
Not all media is as biased as you think in Europe.
I live in Germany. All the news sources here have been reporting hasbara like “decapitated babies” since day one, all reports out of Palestine get qualified with shit like “according to the hamas-led health ministry…”. They’re all in lockstep, look at what they did to Hüseyin Dogru if you want an example of what happens if you break rank. Germans even started calling Iraqi people Iraqi instead of the german “Iraker” during the US war on Iraq because we’re that far up the US state departements ass.

See even now you’re still putting qualifiers on your “support”. The genocide and settlerism has been going on before netanyahu or “his administration”. It’s baked into the system. This is like complaining about president botha during the fight against apartheid.
And that “obviously biased” news sourced, is itself sourced. You’re not gonna get an MSNBC newspiece or whatever it is you consider “unbiased” because all of western mainstream media is owned and controlled by capitalists and they have a vested interest in the zionist project.
Also your statement that there are non-genocidal isntreally bombs is a pretty bold one all things considered, care to give an example of one such bomb you would consider justified?
- Comment on Current events dictate that I post this. 3 weeks ago:
It’s well sourced and has been reliable for the last years. You can close your eyes and ears and continue caping for settlers of course. I stand with the resistance against genocide.
