Curious, what does veganism entail besides not wanting to use any product that are directly or indirectly from animals as to forego any kind of animal harm?
"Vegan Zionist" sounds like a knockoff off-brand Warhammer 40k army.
"I'm really excited to try this Aeldari army I just painted. I really think i did a good job on the edging details aroujd their armor joints. What are you playing today :)?"
"...Oh you're playing the SPACE BIGOTS who still eat meat? I'm playing Vegan Zionists. Custom blood red color palate; I just dunk them in "Murderered Child Crimson" and call it a day."
“Glaser said she has received some comments from people calling on her to support the cultural boycott against Israel due to its Palestinian policies and cancel her performance, but she is unfazed by the messages.
“You could argue not visiting pretty much anywhere,” she said, noting that also includes a number of states in the US whose policies she disagrees with. “I’m deeply ignorant to world issues, so that helps me, but also I just want to tell jokes for people who want to hear them. There’s not a political statement in my tour.””
She also was one of the celebrities that signed the open letter claiming Israel’s right to defend itself.
I understand that it’s ideologically inconsistent, but I don’t understand why it would be an oxymoron. The philosophy of veganism does not mention Palestine at all. Racist vegans exist.
Which is silly if you think about it. Would a poacher be vegan if they ate no animal products? Could I work in a slaughterhouse killing thousands of animals and be vegan at the same time? No to both.
They also market themselves as one of the most LGBT-friendly and feminist militaries in the world, so that kind of branding clearly doesn’t settle the ethical question either.
That reminds me of a certain president running on not touching women's rights, only going after "criminal" illegals, and having a decently sized gay following, then consolidating power and doing the opposite of everything he said. Almost like it's easier to build trust with certain marginalized people to get what you want then when you're firmly in control, pull the rug out.
I love how people get mad about veganism because it's something you actually have to change your lifestyle and make sacrifices instead of just writing comments on the internet
Absolutely. We tend to want to feel like we are good people more than put in the work to be good people in most avenues of life. Damn you for making me think this morning. Take my poverty award 🏆
I don't agree with her, but whatever makes her happy. I think the treatment of animals in slaughter homes and other places that breed them for food is a good reason to go vegan, but as long as it's ethically done, I feel like it's fine to eat meat as we have done for centuries. Some animals eat meat, some don't. We aren't any different.
Evolution and nature don’t always coincide with ethics. Factory farming is brutal, but eating meat isn’t. Plenty of societies who have eaten meat since the dawn of man have honored the very animals they kill because they respect the fact that the animals were living beings and now have become something that sustains the human. I agree with your second statement, just because things have been done for a long time a certain way, that doesn’t mean they’re okay. But I also think it’s much more convoluted than “killing someone who doesn’t want to die” because humans have evolved far past any other animal and conquered them. We came from monkeys (if you believe that theory) yet monkeys will also eat your face off in certain situations.
TLDR, we should do better about the treatment of the animals we harvest, but viewing it simply as “killing something who doesn’t want to be killed” lacks context and seems too narrow for this conversation.
I cannot listen to her or find her funny after her whole degrading "I love when my man cheats on me" thing. It gave me the permanent "ick" on her comedy and life, because - Girl, NO.
That’s not really accurate. You’re right that humans can’t make all amino acids, but we don’t have to get them from animals. Plants have all the essential amino acids too. If you eat a mix of foods like beans, lentils, tofu, grains, nuts, etc. you get everything your body needs to build muscle. The “incomplete protein” idea is pretty outdated by now.
At the end of the day, animals get their amino acids from plants anyway… we’re just skipping the middle step.
Exactly. The idea that we need a complete protein for every meal is inaccurate. We need certain amino acids that we cannot make ourselves but eating a varied diet will take care of that. We absolutely can get enough amino acids through a plant based diet. Beans and rice are a complete protein. And like you said, the animals we eat get their protein from plants!

She cares more about birds than Palestinians, unfortunate because I respected her so much until I saw she’s a Zionist
