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

    Until now, literally never. Is this an argument people make?

    This isn’t an article so much as an essay. It’s also from 2023.

      People dont tell indigenous people to go vegan.

      Vegans are talking to settlers who have access to grocery stores.

    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.

      This is brought up because some college students say they personally cannot be vegan because First Nations traditionally eat meat.

        ? So do Europeans lol. Weird argument.

        There are some people who do only eat meat they hunt or catch themselves. Those students are welcome to buy a .308 and get out in them woods.
