I just want to say I love militant vegans, so long as militant means they are organized and actively creating the world they want to live in. if they are just preaching, I would not say they are militant, just evangelical.
and, to be clear, I'm neither. I just find militancy admirable.
How do you see vegans organizing and creating this world without preaching? How do you spread an ethical diet? Like that one dude saying struggle sessions and party line… for a diet, what
You can spread an ethical diet by making the ethical choices more affordable, and more available, today, in capitalism.
Just like anarchists who build things like: community gardens/farms, neighborhood affinity groups, etc etc.
Great point.
That reminds me Foguangshan nuns near Nanhua University in Taiwan. They sell vegetarian meals for 1 dollar so that the ethical choice is the affordable choice.
Also, look into your local fnb. Mine is Freegan and vegan.
Oh that’s cool! Why’re they always getting arrested tho? I don’t want to be but also do dumpsterdive on occasion
They're usually getting arrested for illegally feeding the homeless
they can organize among themselves. affinity groups that practice direct action are like my favorite political orgs.
Direct action? You’re implying something beyond ethics and diet. But what? Honestly don’t know! ;)
animal liberation front did some good work. earth liberation front, just stop oil.... you get the idea I hope
Ah! I do understand the point of those of course :)
