    Yeah, for real. It's also really gross when people who eat meat will be like "but what about x indigenous tribe" when cattle farming is quite literally destroying indigenous land in the amazon rainforest at this very moment.

    Ya'll only care about the indigenous people when you think we're the ones hurting them, when if you eat meat you've done more damage to their homes and land than we have. 91% of the land deforested in the Amazon has been due to cattle farming and it's home to over 3,000 different tribes of indigenous people. Even if your beef isn't from there, maybe the soy that was produced for your burger was! (BTW only 3% of soy is even eaten by people) But people get mad at vegans for an imaginary take we have lmao.

    I don't give 2 fucks what someone who is starving does to survive, i care that people who have the choice are choosing the more harmful option that hurts others for no reason. And i also don't like it when people use indigenous folk as woke tokens when they 1. can't even reference a tribe, it's just "this brown person i imagined" and then 2. ignore actual real indigenous problems, including the ones caused by large scale animal agriculture.

    Animal agriculture on anything close to a big scale is straight up rich colonizer shit, it's historically caused deforestation and famines (cropland is converted to growing crops for the livestock, and then the rich people eat the livestock, leaving peasants to starve), anyone defending it because 'muh imagined indigenous tribe" doesn't actually give a shit and just wants their tendies. The person picking the crops that go to feeding your beef won't be able to afford a cut. Sorry ya'll but how is that not colonizer shit compared to just abstaining from animal products
