Video essay by a fairly small youtube creator. She often addresses anti-vegan narratives.
Most of the BIPOC people I know (I being a Vegan of almost 40 years now) consider Veganism to be a ab extension of colonialism and privilege.
I’m not sure where I stand with that sentiment though. On one side I think we’ve done enough shit to Indigenous folk that any form of asking/telling them to do something is going to be met with derision.
On the flip side I also know Vegan Indigenous folks.
I have never, ever seen a vegan telling indigenous people what they should eat. Ever. What I have seen are Euro-American carnists saying “Well, indigenous people eat meat, so it’s okay for me to eat meat, too!” As if being a carnist shows solidarity with native peoples. It’s gross.
The over the top wokeness is one thing I don’t like about veganism. I am a vegan, but I am not a Vegan.
Well in this case the video is about over the top “woke” anti-veganism
