[Image ID: A messy digital portrait from the waist up of Jean Descole from Professor Layton, drawn with a charcoal-like brush. He is facing the viewer and has his hands on his hips while grimacing. Behind him is an abstract background with bright orange, magenta, violet, turquoise sections, with a messy black vignette. Above Descole’s head is a shining, yellow crown that says ‘Sex’ on it. /.End ID.]
The vegan to ecofascist pipeline
Actually I'm going to expand on the steps of the pipeline.
It starts with:
"I want to do something to better the environment". A noble pursuit.
Then, "Large scale animal agriculture is bad for the environment". Accurate statement.
Then, "Therefore, I am going to stop consuming all animal products and biproducts." A lofty goal, but still reasonable. It's not something that's for everyone, but if that's what you want to do to do your part, more power to you.
Then, "If I can do it, so can you." Inaccurate. The human body is suited ideally for an omnivorous lifestyle. While the human body is very adaptable, its adaptability varies from person to person, and not everyone is able to subsist off of a vegan lifestyle.
Then, "People who don't follow my lifestyle are maliciously contributing to climate change." We're going into dangerous 'us vs. them' territory now. Now everyone who consumes animal products and biproducts even utilyzes large-scale animal agriculture, and there are myriad of reasons for someone to not be vegan. Personal lifestyle choices are also a distraction from the larger issue at hand, which is that corporations contribute the most to climate change, and blaming yourself and other individuals is a distraction.
Then, "Human beings are responsible for climate change. Humans are inherently destructive." False. Corporations and industrialization is responsible for climate change. Humans are inherently neutral, and for the most part are actually good.
Then, "If there were less people on this Earth, we would have less climate change and pollution." And there we are. At the ecofascism finish line.
Not every vegan ends up at the ecofascist finish line. Many vegans stay comfortably on the third rung of the ladder, focusing on their own personal boundaries and lifestyle choices. However, as soon as you dip your toes into the "if I can do it, so can you" mentality, that's when the ball begins rolling down the slippery slope of ecofascism.
As soon as you begin forcing your lifestyle onto other people, that's when it becomes dangerous.

just in case our collective public memory is too small. trans men do in fact get beaten, harassed, and even killed in public restrooms regardless of which one we use!
there is no winning! this myth that trans men are somehow safer in public is false. should we talk about Malte again? have we forgotten him too??
get a grip people, i won’t tolerate transandrophobia and blatant misinformation on my page.
absolutely begging some of you to look up who brandon teena was and what happened to him.
this year (december 31, 2022) is going to mark the 29th anniversary of his death, and it is fucking appalling to see how many young queer people either a) don't know who he is, or b) ignore his case in favour of pushing the narrative that trans men and transmascs 'have it safer'.
it is appalling that transmascs and trans men have to beg members of their own community to pay attention to the ways in which they are still being targeted, only for others to spit in their faces and tell them to shut up about their own experiences.
it is appalling that some of you would rather argue about semantics than pay attention to what's happening to members of your own community. that some of you would rather have one more brandon, one more noah, one more malte, one more deadnamed, misgendered 'woman' be beaten or buried or both than listen to what is being said and understand what is happening right in front of your own eyes.
the idea that trans men and transmascs are never targeted and hurt for being trans men/transmascs is just blatantly false, and i'm tired of seeing it spread as if it's not.
do better. and when marginalised voices want you to understand what's happening to them, just shut up and listen to them.
you are wonderful. thank you for saying this <333
