This was on a post asking “Is veganism apolitical?” or something like that, I believe. This is an older picture someone else sent me.

Here is a follow-up comment she made after someone asked her if she is vegan:

    It’s my impression that a lot of attempts to be sensitive to people who live with a legacy of oppression, genocide, and marginalisation wrap right round to noble savage stuff.

    Culture isn’t frozen in amber, it is constantly remade through practice. It is completely fair to criticise cruel practices and urge change. At the same time there is a need to be fair and sensitive, if you’re spending effort critiquing like idk hunting by aboriginal Aussies than the fucking roo massacres or horror of animal ag someone might be justified in being like “Why are you picking on me and not your neighbour having a bbq?”.
