no, not all leftists should be vegans. a lot of leftists are Indigenous and some of us have strong traditions and cultures that are centered around eating meat. you& #39;re not morally superior for being vegan. there are environmentally sustainable ways to consume animals.
Indigenous ways of life and hunting are not "exploiting" and "unnecessarily killing" animals. ur applying a settler lens that is incompatible with Indigenous epistemologies. this is why we call your veganism, white veganism. a lot of it is rooted in a settler lens.
if you& #39;re regurgitating talking points about ethical veganism saying stuff like "all killing of animals is unecessary" "it& #39;s immoral to kill animals" "killing animals is exploitative" then ur recreating white veganism, don& #39;t have to be white to recreate white veganism.
the reason it& #39;s white veganism is because its willfully misrepresenting Indigenous relationships with animals and applying a settler interpretation of our practices.
so please, any vegan this applies to, reflect on the ways that your talking points are uplifting Indigenous erasure and settler dominance.
