    How often have you heard — “would you tell an Indigenous person to go vegan?”

    Never, I never have, and I’m fucking native with long black hair lol.

    In fact, the argument that veganism is incompatible with Indigenous culture is unfounded. Advocates for humans, animals and our ecosystems are natural allies in the fight against oppressive colonial structures.

    … what? People are saying indigenous people must eat meat? Are people arguing that paleo diets are/n’t vegan? They’re not… non-obligates going to eat any calories they can get their hands on…

    Is this some weird self-persecuted vegan schtick they only accuse other vegans of being?

      Some leftists in cities are arguing that veganism is anti-indigenous because First Nation groups traditionally hunt or trap meat.
