not to sound like an evil and monstrous brown woman but i will never have any empathy for white women and white lgbt people who join the ranks of fascists. i don’t give a single fuck if they face misogyny or homophobia in their political circles. that’s what you get for aligning with your whiteness to enhance your own position in society. and if this makes me sound like a terrible, loveless person, then so fucking be it. no one forced them into brutalizing or hating people of color and jewish people.
i think it is good to warn people in advance about the circumstances that will cause you to bite them and i think that having given that warning it is good to follow through when the time comes
the rattlesnake is an admirable creature whose virtues we should emulate
if you absolutely can’t go vegan for health/economic/other reasons, you can still: -boycott zoos, circuses, and aquariums -boycott leather, fur, wool, and silk -adopt your pets from a shelter -educate yourself and others about the harms of animal agriculture -donate money or volunteer your time for vegan organizations -eat plant-based when it’s possible, even if it’s just for one meal a day
your options are never either “be 100% vegan” or “exploit animals in every way possible and be fiercely anti-vegan”. even those whose circumstances prevent them from being fully vegan can take meaningful steps to help animals! every bit counts!
