  • Your last paragraph nails it. I’m not trying to get the whole world to switch, but I’d be happy to get the like minded peopleout who haven’t switched.

    When it stops being a tool that works for me and starts working for corpos, well, then I will be in the minority again.

    This topic used to come up all the time on Reddit subs, but this is the first time I can remember seeing it on Lemmy.









  • I would have expected it to say “oh no it has paint on it” in that case.

    The graffiti for its own sake in this context feels really crass in the same way that installing a fancy sign at a food pantry that says “Get a job.” does.

    I’ll take the downvotes for that perspective, but you can have some money and support anarchist points of view at the same time.


  • I also find “carnist” to be sort of a try-hard word in regular use, but the other part that SHOULD be said is that choosing to use it is useful for perspective switching. Typically being vegan or vegetarian is a minority position so the language in general basically normalizes omni eating habits. “Carnist” as a turn of phrase makes it possible to shift “normal” to more closely match veganism.

    Edit: You basically said this deeper in the thread, oops. Still I’ll leave it because maybe more people will see it.
