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

Why not both?
Because the logistics and economics needed to sustain veganism counteract the anti-capitalism, you don't end up getting anything done.
That's a bold claim that demands elaboration.
But then I'm busy being a local farmer, not an anticapitalist. Subsistence veganism provides even less time and energy to fight the system.
Ah yes, vegans have to spend so much time eating they can't fight the system. That's a totally sensible argument.
I guess I'll be the one to tell you that veganism is about waaay more than what you eat? I shouldn't be, but I will be if I must.
