He’s right in the sense that performative wokeness is not a threat to power and that power is very successfully coopting and weaponizing idpol to inoculate itself against criticism, but he’s concluding that intersectionality itself is useless or even damaging. which is, in a word, bullshit

ah yes the logistical steps of learning new recipes, figuring out what to do with the cheez-its in my pantry, trying to figure out shit like macronutrient ratios and where the vitamins are in the absence of animal products, this is all exactly the same as overthrowing the bourgeoisie, definitely the same difficulty, definitely happens in the same amount of time, and is definitely the level of accomplishment I was alluding to when I said I was moving to a vegan diet regardless of the opinions of anti- or pro-vegan pissbabies here

fuck off 3000 my dude, nobody becomes vegan overnight, you’re gonna be finding animal products in stuff you thought was vegan for weeks or months after switching unless you’re more concerned with the aesthetics of moral superiority than the actual labor of your stated ideology. fucking table sugar isn’t vegan since it’s filtered through bone char and nobody knows that without doing goddamn research. what do I do with any coffee mugs or porcelain dinnerware that are made with bone ash? let me get in my time machine and go back in time so I never bought it from the thrift store in the first place so I don’t have to weigh the moral value of continuing to use it or getting rid of it and creating more waste

eat my ass please and thank you (it’s vegan)

we’re ostensibly trying to be leftists here, we’re all aware of the horrors that go on in farming, being antagonistically reminded of them in very gruesome ways that we didn’t consent to makes you look like a PETA strawman of the type epic bacon reddit bros used to handwring about constantly

personally I am in the process of transitioning to a vegan diet for ethical reasons and seeing that shit is pretty unpleasant, if vcj is all about posting animal gore then I’d rather not participate in that community (obviously since I am not a reactionary I’d still be vegan, I just wouldn’t discuss it here)

Of course it was always going to happen, but the pandemic certainly accelerated some things.

What pompous, rage-inducing drivel, holy shit. Nobody is performatively tired except the wealthy, Kristen. We’re not complaining in lieu of working toward a better, less exhausting world, we’re complaining precisely because we’re working harder than ever. And even if we were just rightfully exhausted by the experience of existing in hellworld, telling people to stop bitching about it is victim blaming bullshit.
