      Do you understand that poem was written by a vegan who lived over a thousand years ago?

      That refutes your claim veganism is a modern moral stance since it’s been practiced over a thousand years. Not just that poet either, look into Jainism.

      I do know I’m a modern human. If you’re implying that because I’m a modern vegan, veganism is a modern moral philosophy, that’s like saying a Model T Ford is a modern vehicle if someone today drives one around.

      There’s no greater privilege than thinking you’re so important as a human, a sentient beings whole existence is worth less than 15 minutes of your taste pleasure. That’s actual privilege, most vegan staples (lentils, tofu, chickpeas) are cheaper and have more protein than animal products.

        I’m actually a vegetarian, I don’t eat animals. But I also dislike reactionary bullshit and lies
