    The right fights just as much, that’s not why you’re a loser

    It’s not ‘nitpicking’, it’s literally life or death. If you don’t understand the vital importance of animal liberation you can’t understand the connections between it and colonialism or environmentalism either… then therefore it’s not ‘infighting’ it’s just fighting and you’re the dumb asshole that needs ‘smacked on the head’

      You know nothing about me. I haven’t eaten meat since 1995 and I’ve been fully vegan for several years. I’ve been sharing information with people about the realities of factory farming and our current food system for literal decades. I know for a fact that way more than one person has changed their diet as a direct result of those conversations.

      But when ICE is rounding people up down the street, and trans people are in my office trying to get passports and telling me they’re afraid they’re going to end up in prison and forcibly detransitioned, and my mom came home livid because some racist old fuck cornered her coworker in an elevator and demanded to know where she was from and she’s terrified because her cousin was “deported” and no one has heard from her in a week, forgive me if conversations about veganism are not my priority right now. You know who can’t be convinced to change their habits? People who are dead or in prison camps or who don’t get a choice because their diet is “whatever the food bank has this week.”

      Conservatives don’t fight like this - they say they feel some type of way and then they go and vote for the person with an R no matter what. Meanwhile, liberals and leftists will hold out for a perfect candidate, fight over everything, and then turn around and act shocked when our garbage electoral system doesn’t work out in our favor.

        No shit, reformism an revolution are fundamentally incompatible. Liberals and leftists are not ‘allies’ hence, its not ‘infighting’ its just fighting.
