3·6 months agoIt doesn’t matter if they’re true. I also never said I was angry. I just find it disingenuous.
This specific post is obviously about plants, which is neat, but your reply was in response to the very thing I was talking about, an unfunny and reddit-tier joke about vegans that misunderstands their position.
I’m explaining why I would downvote a comment like yours in that specific context. Why would you bring up the complex lives of plants in response to a vegan poster (who then presumably downvotes you)? Are you trying to genuinely and compassionately suggest that vegans should consider the morals of their diet in the context of plant feelings? Just sharing cool facts? If so, you’re atypical.
You think its uncharitable, but if you spend enough time on the internet, you’d see that most people are not doing this. They’re suggesting that vegans are no better then carnists. That plants feel pain the same way animals do, therefore its fine to slaughter animals, and people don’t have to think about the harm they’re causing because they’ve now established that everyone is doing just as much harm as they are. Its a cope to absolve people of any responsibility and allow them to strengthen their position against a group they already dislike.
The takeaway should be ‘then we should find out how to minimize plant suffering too’.
Given that, out of the blue comments about how ‘plants have feeling’ in a discussion about eating animals serves as a distraction and can be interpreted like this even if you mean it genuinely.

I downvote people who describe these things because the only time 99% of people mention plant communication, they’re doing it as some sort of ‘gotcha’ against vegans to justify their own lack of morals, not because they actually care about plants (or animals).

So is Canvas, which has a much superior UX design.
That you equate gay people to vegans in this way, wanting them to exist quietly so you can pretend they aren’t there, really says a lot.
A volunteer group of 100~ politically active vegans in my state are currently gathering signatures for an actual state measure to ban meat subsidies, among other radical measures, and several of them have been arrested for freeing animals from slaughterhouses. But you can go on thinking that one person on Twitter who talks about taking meat from the Inuits is representative if you want.
By the way, there is a higher percentage of African American vegans compared to any other racial group in the US.
SEIU is a big tent union consisting of folks in service industries, healthcare, and higher education. I personally think this makes them relatively ineffective as an alliance because it’s not like the restaurants are going to care if the university staff go on strike. Instead resources are spread thin between all the different groups and all the action happens at the local level with no real organization representation available to rank and file workers. But it is an example of a union for different industries.
