As I said before this is an unsafe site for Indigenous people. I’m out. Don’t bother DMing me. I’m scrambling my password and locking myself out of my own account. I’ve grown to care for and trust a lot of you so it’s hard to leave but it is clear that this site isn’t for me. I understand that the world and internet at large is really shitty to vegans so I understand and support the need for a safe space to process your experiences and to practice your dunks. All the best, signing off.

    The vegan -> settler pipeline is real

            My point being someone themselves being a part of a marginalized group doesn’t exclude them from engaging in harmful rhetoric against that group. This is a nearly central component of neocolonial relationships of oppression.

        That is fair and I respect that. Still, this is evidently pretty alienating to indigenous people who hold on to that aspect of their culture, and there are a lot of people who aren’t indigenous that are policing and talking down to people on such a basis.
