that’s an eugenics (and fascist) talking point.
the industrial revolution in europe did not come with agrarian reform. no coincidence eugenics appears when the guys who own all the land can’t find workers at 2 pennies an hour because the factory owner will train and pay them 5 pennies.
look, there is nothing special about veganism. what’s special is how it’s used to normalize eugenics and squash agrarian reform & land redistribution.
@blogdiva @jak2k @slowlygoingsane A revolution might help, but I doubt it will come before things escalate to the point where people are dying all over the planet. And we're escalating the ongoing mass extinction caused by the side effects of the Industrial Age, which I don't think will last for very much longer. Capitalism will eat the planet until there is nothing left, then it will eat itself, and then it will collapse, destroying everything else along the way. If humans somehow manage to avoid extinction, we'll never again have such an age of abundant complex technology.
If we want to live, we need to end the existence of the rich ASAP. It's up to the rich how they want to end; they can just give up their property and let us redistribute it, or they can hold onto their wealth until they are killed. We need to switch production from making commodities for the markets to making goods for the people. And we need to switch from making things cheap and disposable to making them robust and repairable.
And everyone who is able-bodied and has access to a garden needs to learn organic gardening and permaculture. Soon such knowledge and skills will be necessary in order to avoid starvation. The Industrial Age is about to peak if it hasn't already peaked, and after that it'll all go downhill. We might still see a bunch of people plant flags on Mars, but that's not a sign of progress, just a sign that some people are too bloody rich. 300 years from now, humans will be back in the Dark Ages for tens of thousands of years because we didn't manage to become sustainable before ruining everything. -

there’s a strain of MAHA fascist veganism coming out of the usa broligarchy connected to GMOs. “nature” is only for the worthy; especially animal protein. everything GMOed and patented by them must be for the masses and must be plant-based since it has the highest profit margins.

@patricus @jak2k You can let her read this: https://ecofinder.pl/vege/weganskie-steki-roslinne-juicy-marbles-jak-prawdziwe-mieso/
If using Firefox, she can translate the website to Polish. Do not worry, they ship with an ice pack.
But if you find it too complicated, why not try products that are available in supermarkets first?

learn to decolonize.@blogdiva @jak2k @slowlygoingsane I live in Germany, we didn't invent fascism, we just copied it from the Italians, but we were extremely good at it.
I'm an omnivore like most people who ever lived. I just understand that the entire Industrial Age is headed for collapse because there can't be any kind of sustainability with a capitalist economy, I understand that the biosphere is in dire straits because we keep turning entire living landscape into dead industrial structures, because we keep dumping toxic waste into the environment, because we use insane amounts of artificial fertiliser and pesticides, upending entire ecosystems with the runoff, we destroy many wild species to make place for a few domesticated ones, both plant and animal, in insane numbers, we burn through limited mineral resources like metal ores like there is no tomorrow because this insane system forces people to make money if they want to eat, and it's all running on fossil fuels because we can't get rid of them. And the reason why we can't get rid of fossil fuels is the incredible sum of money that has been sunk into them. All of the oil, gas, and coal, that's still in the ground, represents a huge chunk of global capital. If all that fossil carbon gets left in the ground, never sold on the market, an insane sum of money just disappears from this planet. Nobody who sti.. believes that capitalism can somehow be a good thing wants all this money to disappear, nobody who still believes in the market wants fossil carbon to lose its market value.
So we need to destroy the belief in the market. Capitalism is a religion that needs to vanish from the Earth. But thatt doesn't change that there are eight billions of us, and while we can feed some ten to twelve billions right now, we won't be able to do so for very much longer. Not with all the weird weather everywhere. Not with the insects and birds dying everywhere. I think we'll probably have 1-3 billion fewer people on this planet by 2080, and 1-3 billion climate refugees in search of a new home. All borders and all nations must get dismantled so that the people of the world can rearrange themselves in entirely new population patterns as the climate shifts, or many more people will die. Nations and states will become dysfunctional within the next 50 years or so, anyway, except perhaps for a few city-states and small island nations.
Oh, and all those rich eugenicists don't understand evolution. They won't survive what's coming. What is coming towards us is probably the greatest tragedy ever since the meteor killed the dinosaurs, and it's even worse because humans did it, they did it for the money, and we have known about it (and how to stop it) since the late 1960s, yet we never did what needed to be done because in order to do so, we would have needed to abandon economic growth and kill capitalism (but also Eastern socialism which was just as bad, environmentally).
But it is a slo-mo collapse, until it isn't. It's not one giant global catastrophe like that asteroid 65 million years ago, it is a patchwork of smaller and bigger local and regional catastrophes happening again and again, all over the planet, until the systems upon our lives depend can't compensate for the chaos anymore and become dysfunctional. There are no technological solutions because it isn't a technical problem. It is a problem of modern culture which is incompatible with the biosphere. We don't live like animals, but we should; by that I mean we are part of the fauna like any other big ape, we eat and we shit like any other animal. We need to integrate ourselves into the ecosystems in which we live, become part of the land, one species among many, just like almost all humans who ever lived except for the few who lived in highly complex civilisations. Decoupling ourselves from nature and rebuilding our environments as we see fit is the most insane idea ever, yet in the Industrial Age it has become mainstream, and it is killing us all. -
Eating less meat and more plant based food with high fibre is good for your health and the planet. We will need some sort of global food market as eating local won't meet the needs of the populations of most towns, cities, and islands. The best places to grow some staples are simply not in everyone's backyard or region. Even Japan imports rice...

My ex & her new partner are bringing my 11 y/o son up as a vegan. I asked him if it was his choice - he said no & he hates the food. So now every Friday when he stays at mine we fire the BBQ up & have steak, ribs & wings. It's the most we've ever bonded.
