"They'd disagree on so many things!"
- Everybody disagrees with everyone else on so many things anyway, what's the big deal? Your article 'It’s Time We Decolonized White Veganism' - Interesting choice of words this 'decolonized' idea, and interesting that I heard it elsewhere earlier today... I shared this link earlier for Canem Malum, but now I'm going to share it with everyone, because everyone should hear what the man has to say. A must watch!! James Lindsay explains how woke = Marxism http://twitter.com/EITC_Official/status/1653621600468766721 Listen carefully and you might hear that word 'decolonized' explained in further detail.

One thing multiculturalism has brought to Australia is a diversity of food, and a whole new look at what we eat, and enjoy. I've eaten everything from African to Indian, and I realise how much past generations missed out on with their Pommy "meat and three veg", night after night, fish and chips on a Friday night, and a pie (surprise box) at the footy on a Saturday afternoon, for exotic dinning out. To be fair there was that special night out at the local chows to celebrate Uncle Fred's 60th with Chicken Chow Mein, and the piece de resistance, chocky cake with 6 candles (not 60 don't want to burn the join down) made by Aunty Flo. A couple of beers for the men and 'Fanta' for the ladies kids. (that weirdo fella Uncle Bruce, brought a bottle of some kind of wine, "Char-d-nay" me thinks, everyone suspected Uncle Bruce was bent, that wine crap confirmed it).

Thanks AC, interesting James Lindsay and his thesis, Wokeism = Marxism in a peculiar way. If you entirely reject Marxism, then you must reject Wokeism, and any notions of social justice. For example if you believe gay rights is Wokeism, and therefore undesirable, then you must reject all notions of gay rights and maintain the status quo. Is that what people like Lindsay are calling for? For me its a bit like saying we must reject the colour red, because red is associated with Communism, Communism is bad, so therefore the colour red is bad, and anything red is bad, strawberry's are bad, it doesn't make sense.
If you were sacked from your job at the 'Lolly Shop', because they found out you were gay, and you now find yourself destitute on the streets, being bashed by the Bovver Boys every night, because you are gay. Do you think its acceptable, or should you call for some form of social justice, even if you considered it Wokeism, which you have totally rejected previously.

The violence of some vegans against the Perth restauranter continues to be aired on social media well after the event. Vegans who quietly eat grass or whatever sustains them will be tarred with the same brush as those ratbags. Who would have thought that what people eat would have caused such acrimony!
But, that's Wokestralia now: division, hatred and violence - just what totalitarians like Albanese want - divide and conquer. Racism (the Voice); big spending to cause inflation; cost of living rises; environmental destruction via windmills and solar panels; threats to remove cash; threats to shut down freedom of speech; threats against religion, particularly Christianity; removal of property rights (ACT Green/Labor government obliterating Calvary Catholic hospital because they refuse to commit euthanasia and abortions; destruction of the education system in favour of political and gender brainwashing; support for perverts; threats to supplies of prescription medicines by outsourcing to China; gagging doctors from telling the truth to patients; non-acceptance of Covid outrages and refusing to exert justice against those responsible; a virtual one-party system. Wokestralia, soon to become Shitstralia. Posted by ttbn, Wednesday, 12 July 2023 9:27:26 AM

Oh, and if you want to object to the Albanese's proposed Bill to quash freedom of speech on social media, you have to include your name and address, and take the chance of getting a knock on your door in the early hours. And, who knows what tips Albanese will pick up during his upcoming trip to China.

<<What article are you talking about? My source didn't mention Australia; it was all about the UK, which has enough stories of its own without referring to Australia.>>
Mine. I can read it and so you can you. Do so, you might learn something!
You refer to an article I cannot see or read, nor anyone else. Please provide a link, so we can be better informed.
Secondly, I referred to people living off a diet of cabbage and potatoes, from the article I provided a link to, most likely due to being poor. They are not woke, despite being on a Vegan (or plant-based diet), two terms essentially though they mean the same thing.
Some don't like the term vegan and use 'plant-based' as they don't want any association with vegan animal rights activists, and I understand why. I wouldn't though put vegans or those on a plant-based diet though in a woke grouping. They wouldn't get on together at all. They'd disagree on so many things!
See this article and find out why: http://www.litwi.org/blog/its-time-we-decolonized-white-veganism
The article cares more about people, more than animals and goes against everything I stand for as an animal rights person. I would question if the writer is vegan or on a plant-based diet at all!
