An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I do not agree with how this article is arguing, nor the site the author chose to post in.
I can read comments on how it matters to the victims , that is way more powerful and real of an argument than "any changes come from individuals".
If you want to think veganism as a group, thus politically, I would rather have people thinking materialism and something like "praxis" (from Marx for the ones who don't know). As a group and/or as activists we have to act accordingly to our thoughts. And this would also lead to our thoughts evolving in regards of our experience from our action (cf dialectic).
I guess there are many different ways of thinking in vegans groups depending on which countries they come from.
