And you are failing to see it from a different perspective. It's not whatabouism, that's a made up word used by British media to discredit the valid arguments of the IRA. In your perspective many people have the power to make that change, and that is likely true where you live and they should make that change, in my perspective where I live many do not have the power to make that change, and feeding the people should take priority. As done by actually existing socialist states in the past.
That's a pro-veganism argument dude, turns out food is a lot more efficient if you give it directly to people instead of filtering it through animals
Exactly - just as people dismiss feminism based on their surface level understanding of the movement, please try and learn about what the whole of the term veganism means before you have such strong convictions about it. Not knowing about something is ok - disagreeing strongly based on a lack of information isn't.
I wanna say this doubly applies because of the notable benefits men and masculine presenting folks have at present in some countries in the imperial core, like mine, which can be traced to feminist activism.
One that positively affects me is 1. the ability to talk about emotions openly and 2. have people there to listen and engage with when I do. In the past—with homogeneous groups of men—it was more frequent in my experience to be shut down. When with certain members of family on certain topics, like my father being ill in a hospital, I was supported. In others I was told to 'use my willpower to get over it' and 'if I really just tried' I would see how much better it was to 'power through'.
Of course I appreciate sentiment even if I didn't think the content was appropriate, there is something to be said about the availability of options at present due to feminist and LGBTQIA2S+ activism who I have to give my thanks and support.
Regardless of the origin of the term, its exactly what your doing. Your assumption that I hadn't seen things from your perspective or been in your position is false. You felt the need to go "Well what about people who go hungry" in a post directed at those with the power to make the change to go vegan and chose not to. But good for you that you thought of the hungry when you saw this post. Some of us have the power to care about more then one issue at a time.
