Becoming a vegan is too individualist. I wont become a vegan for the same reason i wont ask my husband to stop smoking weed to boycot the cartels. I dont see a way any local activism could work. So with neither collective or individual action open to me, i am locked at acknowledging the suffering and not changing my actions.
I disagree as collective action is not made up of individualist decisions. Its made up of individual ones. The individuals get together and decide to go on strike at the same time for example. They dont all just individualisticly decide to stop working until there is a domino effect.
Im saying that its a waste of time to be an individualist vegan. If it matters to you so much, join a radical animal rights group like elf or peta. They are doing collective action. Ive always felt like PETA wasnt that bad, tbh. They at least do something.
If you believe that animal slavery is at all morally similar to human slavery, then you might want to dedicate your life to becoming farm Spartacus. That isnt me mocking you, but an actual suggestion.
I know all about how frustrating it is to be the only who cares about something. So even though i dont care about animals like humans, i respect that you might.

The collective is composed of individuals. It’s evident that the collective will never form if every individual is too lazy to make tiny adjustments.

Treatbrain. Not even once.
Don’t worry it won’t be individualist when there are more of us vegans. We will ban animal ag when we have the power to do so.
Id neither like nor dislike that tbh
