An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

  1. We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
  2. No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
  3. Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
  4. Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
  5. All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Do you also not vote, because one single vote doesn't change the outcome?

[โ€“] sour@feddit.de -1 points 1 year ago

Well, you did not get my point at all... Please read it again. Even with voting, saying "I changed the election with my vote" is bullshit. But voting and veganism are important, precisely because it is a group. But targeting individuals is just useless. Because your relative won't change the world. Many relatives may, but the point is that one single person won't change shit with a behavioral change.
