Let's start by providing how vegan is defined. It's not a diet. It's a life philosophy that extends into all aspects of living to exclude all uses off animals when possible and practicable.

![An info graphic with the follow text that defines what vegan means.
[…] a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose; and by extension, promotes the development and use of animal-free alternatives for the benefit of humans, animals and the environment. In dietary terms it denotes the practice of dispensing with all products derived wholly or partly from animals.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5qikacobtom4bjs6gf75sclp/bafkreih5w2jvalvwuspexwrgrvsgi5jq6kijdc6jdeydlfazied7pdfh6e)

Still waiting to see any of the so called concerned climate scientists advocating for veganism as one mode of adaption to the crisis. To be honest I haven't seen a single one mention it nor even acknowledge they are vegan themselves. It's clear that animal ag is destructive to the planet.

Going vegan accomplishes more than saving animals from cruelty, abuse, suffering and an untimely death. It also has a significant role in reducing environmental destruction due to the large demand for land and resources necessary to raise animals for food and other purposes.

Surveillance Chills Dissent. What will society be like in 70 years as new generations of people are born into a world where they are always watched? Will stories of MLK Jr., women's suffrage, BLM, Gandhi, Disability Activism, LGBTQ+ Rights and others become fantastical myths of the past?

It's interesting how Big Tech Bros were so easily able to roll AI and mass surveillance into our lives. While reading We and 1984 I wondered how a dystopian world would come about while thinking the people would push back against it. But, now I see that it's much easier than I had thought.

I already posted about this a few times but felt I should mention it another time. People have little perspective on the extent of how animals are used in our daily lives. The manufacturing of car tires for example require stearic acid which gives them elasticity and durability during vulcanization.

The FCC prohibited Jimmy from interviewing Talarico on his show so it was done on Youtube. This is a great interview you should watch and share.

It's time that climate scientists refer to the experts when I comes to dealing with animal ag and it's impact upon the climate. Vegans are the true expert in knowing how to address changing lifestyles, habits, desires, consumption and diets that cut out the use of animals.

I just want to throw shit when I see scientists saying we should eat meat more responsibly when it comes to fighting climate change. It's clear climate scientist aren't committed to the issue when they won't go vegan for the planet nor the animals.

A person doesn't have to see the multitude of imagery of animal abuse on social media. They only have to go the nearby grocery store to see the dead mutilated carcasses laying in display cases.
There's no need for cruelty upon animals when we can clearly receive our nutrients from plants.

People will still argue against veganism even after seeing the extent of cruelty, suffering and eventual death animals experience. They are unwilling to make changes in their way of living just because it causes them to challenge their way of life and beliefs.
Industry footage 👺They call this animal welfare 😡Catching chickens by a machine instead of by hand. Less chickens break bones 😱Welfarism will not end animal slavery. Welfarism will not end their suffering. Welfarism will not end the killings. #EndAnimalExploitation #LiveVegan do no harm 🙏

I am seeing a common thread here that the left needs to adopt. Those that are masked don't get arrested while the unmasked left is always targeted by the authorities and arrested. The left needs to start wearing masks.

Eliminating bovine based food from our diet won't cut methane production to the degree needed to curb climate change. The issue goes beyond diet. We must cut out all use of cattle and the only way that addresses it is by going vegan. Anything less than veganism still includes cows in our life.

Tires are a symptom of a bigger problem of which is how we construct our cities to be dependent upon vehicle transportation. Redesigning the tire is great but we must reimagine our built infrastructure and a society that chooses to be less dependent on vehicles.
