I'm not sidetracking. I have a very clear stance on animal welfare.
The machine is the root cause to animal suffering. Causing systematic and chronic torture of animals. We need to dissolve the machine to bring an end to it.
We do not bring an end to animal suffering through purist veganism.
No, but we can certainly reduce the harm caused by the machine through veganism. As for dissolving it entirely, veganism is essentially a prerequisite, because you discredit any advocacy or any criticism you make by refusing to engage in an actionable step to reduce harm.
I do not deny that veganism often is good, because meat does take a great toll on the environment, but a purist take is exclusionary. Its like Richard Stallman free software purism, often free software is good because proprietary software hides its actions, but a purist take is exclusionary.
