#neocolonialism — Public Fediverse posts

@mattwebbdev well I think we can agree US liberalism is built on colonialism and if I may expand upon the connection neocolonialism is a means of obscuring the master-slave dynamic and likewise (human-centric plant based diet activism)(a bit verbose)? obscures the abuse of non-humans by removing them from the conversations around their own liberation that they can't participate in themselves and sidelining important aspects of their exploitation (such as in entertainment, vivisection, fashion, manufacturing):

• A "health" vegan might revert to eating fish (the largest category of non-human kills) the moment they are convinced it isn't unhealthy

• An "environmental" vegan might still use leather products and such because its durable compostable and to not use byproducts of slaughter would just be a waste of resources and emissions

And just like liberals will excuse colonialism in return for liberal domestic policy they will excuse non-human animal abuse that doesn't affect them (unless of course its one of the pre-approved causes for species favoured by a speciesist society)
