Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Absolutely correct. Imagine being pro-liberation all the way up until it involves putting something else on your plate. It doesn't make sense.

Because of all those right-wing vegans that hate people on the left? So many of those.

You haven't watched the video. The woman is arguing for veganism while the guy is arguing from the leftist perspective till the end where they finally come to common ground.

Because they represent all those vegans that don't have a leftist perspective? All three of them?

We're talking about two people in the video.

I have only met like 3 conservative vegans online, they often say they dont eat animal products because of personal responsibility.

So it's a video about two specific people with specific politics? Because the title sure suggests that it's the two groups in their entirety.

They're re-enacting how debates go between leftists and vegans.

Vegans encompass the whole political spectrum however leftists are the most likely to be vegan as they tend to care more about others.

What debates? I have yet to hear of any such debates.

From personal experience, I've spoken to several leftists who aren't even willing to consider the issue of animal welfare because (and I'm paraphrasing here) "human issues come first". Like it's some sort of either or situation, when really the positions are complimentary.

Not sure if this is what the video is about, as I can't watch it right now.

They're plenty on the internet.

Just watch the video.

The video is not an example of such a debate and I am not going to fuck up the algorithm watching something stupid.

I do not believe you that there are "plenty" of debates between leftists and vegans on the Internet. In fact, if I type "vegan leftist debate" into YouTube, zero debates pop up.

So where are these debates?

You're just sealioning at the point.

Have a good one!

Showing that you are making things up is not sealioning.
