im sorry but none of us get to look away from currently ongoing genocide if we are to claim we give a shit about the sanctity of human life. the only people that will benefit from that ignorance are the perpetrators of the genocide that is, again, currently happening. no its not a complex topic. yes it is a heavy one. but knowing even the basics about this situation will go a long way in not helping spread propaganda and inevitable genocide denial bullshit rhetoric the groundworks already been laid for. theres a lot that we owe to those two million palestinian civillians trapped in the gaza strip, their deaths practically signed off by every government that declared solidarity with israel’s ceaselessly ongoing ethnic cleansing efforts. and simply knowing general facts on what is going on is the bare minimum all of us should readily give them.
yo @humans@staff what the fuck is your trust and safety team smoking

not sure why you’re being so snarky, but it has indeed been taken care of now and i got a more human reply to the email now and the account appears to have been suspended. i just really wish it didnt take a callout to make these things work and hope there is Actual possibility for recourse for smaller accounts as well, not just ones with a platform like mine.
i fell asleep before adding this to the thread, but for some further context: i also got a dm from humans, with fairly similar contents (but actually much more well phrased rather than in snarky PR speech) BUT most interestingly, with an explicit statement saying that this has been a wake up call and will get them to consider things a bit more before hitting “send” on t&s replies. hold them to that standard.
But I really do dislike how much veganism-the-ideology has taken over the discussion on climate change and how to fix our foodways, for reasons that include but are certainly not limited to:
people who believe that farming animals is innately bad and unethical attributing climate change to “animal agriculture” when most of the negative impacts come from beef specifically, which makes the problem seem MUCH less solvable than it actually is.
animal rights activists and organizations have been given a seat at the table discussing how to solve climate change and biodiversity loss, when they include people that believe things like “zoos are inherently bad” “domestication is equivalent to slavery” “it’s never necessary to cull overpopulated species” and “hunting is always bad”
The way we grow plant crops is SO fucked as well—nitrogen fertilizer causes so much pollution, use of pesticides and herbicides is probably the main cause of the decline of insects, we are losing topsoil way way too fast— but we have people naively proclaiming that switching to “plant based diets” is the answer
the way “veganism as Solver Of Human Problems” puts the focus and responsibility entirely on individual choice instead of changing the way food systems work. I’m sorry but people cannot personal-choice their way out of a system that is fucked by design and that they need in order to not starve
the stereotyping of farmers as evil and sadistic people who love to watch animals suffer for a profit. Who benefits
rejecting outright the idea that farming or hunting animals could ever be sustainable or acceptable on any scale when indigenous people worldwide have done it for millennia, animals have been domesticated for 12,000+ years, and not everyone can even survive on a strictly plant based diet
anti-indigenous racism
anti-indigenous racism
entangling so much energy and effort to removing all nuance and advocating a personal lifestyle change that is not possible to accomplish and/or sustain long term for most people instead of literally anything specific and effective
