  • Did you read the article posted, because the point of the article isn’t to take away whatever diagnosis you have or the care that you need. It’s about the relationship of the power structures in our society and their use of psychiatric diagnosis to pathologize and marginalize people. The ideological agreements with them is a fair concern I suppose as an anarchist I more strongly align with them than I do the Marxist Leninists developing Lemmy

    Edit: to be clear I’m just trying to make sure we’re on the same page about the article, I’m not trying to invalidate your opinion outright.
















  • Everyone’s experience with being vegan is different and I agree being vegan can be cheaper than eating an Omni diet, assuming you’re cooking fresh foods. those fake meats are more expensive than real meats, in my area anyways. I’ve been vegan for over five years now and I don’t spend a ton on food relative to friends and family.

    In my example of someone working multiple jobs the classist bit is assuming they have the time to prepare vegan meals, they may well have the means to afford it but not the time to prepare it. You also have to consider access to fresh ingredients can be difficult in certain areas especially if you’re already strapped for time due to working multiple jobs.

    Edit: basically my point is when we advocate for veganism we have to be careful about assumptions of the individuals means and conditions that may hamper their ability to be vegan in the way that me or you are able to be vegan. We should put a lot more emphasis on the “as far as possible and practicable” than we currently do.
