Uniting the fight for human & animal liberation
Dismantling oppression in all its forms
Advocate for total justice
- Authoritarianism thrives on domination—and that includes the domination of other animals. Fascist rhetoric glorifies violence, hierarchy, and control, which is why the far right mocks animal rights and romanticizes exploitation. youtu.be/BQKJcEafNnQ
[This user deactivated their account]- It would be wise for you to listen someone's arguments (in this case, watching the video) before giving your uninformed opinion. And yes, authoritarian values are linked to animal exploitation: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28189749/

- Oh, "reeducation camps"? Gringos sure love those. Your beloved President Trump would love to take a brown Mexican like me to one. Is there where you want to send those who oppose violence against the vulnerable? Your masks always slip when you defend the indefensible.
- This is what happens when those who claim to fight injustice are confronted with the brutality they defend. Instead of accountability, they weaponize identity to justify oppression. And the most racist part? The belief that BIPOC can’t choose justice over violence. #UntilActuallyEverybodyIsFree

- What happened to "The last time I will be acknowledging you" you told me 4 tweets ago? Go ahead, keep limiting the replies, coward. Go hide from the fact that you're defending in the very systems of oppression and violence you claim to oppose. bsky.app/profile/sloa...

- I do care and the thing I'm mad about is how you and your fellow ultra privileged gringos erase the suffering of your victims and the existence of BIPOC liberation activists like myself. Being against violence is not "a white thing" and you're racist if you believe otherwise bsky.app/profile/sloa...

- Your misrepresentation is shameful. Veganism isn’t about white supremacy—it's a movement rejecting the exploitation of oppressed individuals. BIPOC vegans have long fought for justice. Stop twisting our message to hide your own oppressive and supremacist mindset.
- [Not loaded yet]
- How is speaking against this violence "white supremacy"? How is opposing this brutality "undermining the struggles of people"? You’re not fighting oppression—you’re demonizing those who do, just to justify your own complicity in this systemic violence. You're despicable.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Opposing this is white supremacy...?
- It's disgraceful someone would call opposing oppression and violence "white supremacy". Hiding behind a façade of justice to avoid being held accountable for upholding the very systems of oppression they claim to oppose. These people should be ashamed and history will look down on them.
- Veganism isn’t a diet, and it’s not about white people—it’s about rejecting the exploitation of other animals. Calling it "white supremacy" erases the countless BIPOC fighting for animal liberation. If opposing violence against the vulnerable is racist, you need to rethink how you define racism.

- Wrong. The animal agriculture and fishing industries are two of the main if not the main drivers of habitat loss. ourworldindata.org/deforestation www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... If everyone adopted a plant-based diet, we would require 75% less agricultural land. ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets

- I apologize for the confusion. I can't see the original tweet—I just replied to the "white veganism" thing. I'm just pointing out the fact that being against animal oppression is not a "white thing", and believing BIPOC are incapable of abstaining from violence is racist in and of itself.

- Survivors of the 1940s holocaust have made these comparisons themselves. neveragain.org.il/testimonies/... Humans and other animals are equal in all the ways that matter. We feel fear and joy, and we don't want to be exploited or killed. Only someone with a supremacist mindset would be offended.

- Yes, I will agree that discrimination against white people doesn't have the power dynamics that other marginalized groups are victims of, but dismissing someone's arguments solely because the color of their skin (or because you think their skin is a certain color) is still race-ist.

- Look, today I'm not in the mood to put up with racist crap from an ultra privileged white gringa. You're calling a brown Mexican a white supremacist for speaking against the exploitation of your victims. You should re-evaluate your bigoted beliefs.
- [Not loaded yet]
- You're twisting my words. I said: "veganism advocates for all animals" because veganism is not about humans—it’s about other animals, who are exploited, oppressed, and killed by the billions. Yes, sadly some feminists exclude some women, but veganism is by definition a movement for all non-humans.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Fighting against injustice toward other animals isn't a "white thing." Unlike feminism, that sometimes excludes some women, veganism advocates for all animals. Maybe we should coin "white intersectionality" to describe why many who claim to fight all oppression still forget their non-human victims.

- The definition of sexual abuse UN and WHO use: www.unhcr.org/what-we-do/p... I'm a social worker. Don't try to lecture me about sexual abuse. I don't know what celebrity you're talking about, but you're being disingenuous, and frankly, you sound like a disturbed and potentially dangerous person.

- I presume you hold the same opinion about the sex trafficking industry. Not driven by selfishness and profit—that's just my perspective. I'd be really interested in hearing the "perspective" of someone who makes money by sexually abusing someone else, because they enjoy the result of that abuse.
- Nope. We hunted for food and used other parts of the animals we hunted for various things long before settlers arrived. There are many more examples of colonizers attacking Indigenous peoples ability to hunt and live off the land.

- Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's people like you—non-vegans—the ones who sexually abuse horses and other animals: cows, pigs, chickens, turkeys, cats, dogs, bees and fishes.

- We do understand the process and the intent. Artificial insemination—driven by selfishness and profit. The fact that you believe that there could be situations in which someone forcibly penetrating someone else without their consent would not be rape is troubling and disturbing. #RapeCulture

- "Just in case"? That's not how antibiotics are supposed to be used. Health professionals should be more responsible with such an important and delicate resource. I can't believe someone following a carnivore diet was more responsible than their doctor. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

- You're proving my point. Search for "animal". You should find 18 results. Victims are likened to animals to justify their oppression. This only works if you believe animals are inferior. You’re not upset that I called humans animals. You’re upset that I refuse to see anyone as inferior to you.

- Yes, your victims. The ones you eat, the ones whose skin you wear, maybe the ones you ride, or buy like commodities. And yes, humans are animals. Only someone with a human supremacist mindset would feel insulted by being described as an animal. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human

- This is the very racism I've been calling out . The fact that you think rejecting violence against innocent animals is "a white thing", that can't fathom that a BIPOC could speak against injustice towards non-humans, that we're incapable of growth. You hold such a low opinion of us. It's disturbing.

- We're not choosing between trans folk, BIPOC or reproductive freedom when we go shopping, grab a carton of soy milk, beans, rice or potatoes, when we buy cotton instead of wool, or textile shoes instead of leather. You're presenting a false dichotomy and appealing to futility—we can do both.

- A lot of words to dismiss the fact that you engage and fund the very things you condemn tenfold, plus the exploitation of slaughterhouse workers. If you truly want to minimize your impact on marginalized communities, you ought to be vegan. Otherwise, you're just tokenizing their suffering.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Because all the things you said—communicate, collaborate, respond to stimuli, warn one another of danger—smart devices like phones, car navigation systems and satellites do. Very efficiently, I should add. Can we please go back to the lack of scientific evidence to claim plants are conscious?
- [Not loaded yet]
- That's cute. What about the human bias to justify oppression and violence towards non-humans? At least I have scientific evidence to ground my beliefs. All you have is a supremacist mindset, selfishness and tradition.
- [Not loaded yet]
- I have nothing to apologize for and I stand by every word I said—including when I said you have a supremacist mindset for thinking that highlighting the subjective experience of your victims is racist.
- [Not loaded yet]
- I don't know the colour of your skin and don't need to know, but if you're not vegan, you fund everything you're condemning tenfold, plus the systemic exploitation of marginalized slaughterhouse workers. bsky.app/profile/sloa...

- I'm not harassing Indigenous people. This started when someone deliberately misrepresented veganism, implying BIPOC can't reject animal exploitation—which is false and racist. Then, instead of engaging honestly, you hid behind your ancestry and culture to justify violence.

- I think you don't understand. The National Library of Medicine is just that—a library. These are who the authors of that article work for. They have no affiliation to the NIH. Also, most plants grown for food are fed to exploited animals. If you want to minimize plant deaths, you should be vegan.
- [Not loaded yet]
- They do—just like satellites and smartphones. Are they conscious too? My metric is the scientific consensus. Plants don't have a nervous system and we don't have any evidence to believe they have a subjective experience. Animals are fed plants too. If you care about plants you should be vegan.
- [Not loaded yet]
- No, you're a supremacist because you got deeply offended and demanded that I apologize when I pointed out animals other than humans—your victims—can feel pain, joy and value their lives.
