Trying to argue ethical purities is pretty pointless. I don’t know where the piefed.world server is hosted but it’s probably not powered the same way. Regardless, there is environmental damage caused by any kind of consumerism, such as the creation and shipping of your bicycle or the generator it’s connected to, unless you built the bicycle out of bamboo and the generator out of rocks. And that’s ok. You don’t need to justify that to anyone. Being ethical can just mean being a minimal consumer to a reasonable degree. Which it sounds like you are.
While you are technically correct (fellow vegan here), this ain’t the time or place. The rest of the world isn’t vegan, and we can’t afford to be split up over moral differences.
Let’s advocate for animals after the threat of having targets painted on our backs is gone. We can’t advocate for animals if we’re exiled, thrown in jail or at worst, shot for expressing our political beliefs. We need to rally behind the Mamdanis in this country.
Giving a thirty percent discount on milk, eggs and chicken shows that Mamdani doesn’t care about animals’ welfare.
Your use of electronic media to post this message shows you don’t care about the environment.
I’m powering my computer with generator mounted to a stationary bicycle which proves that I do care about the environment.
Pedal harder slave! I have posts I wish to reply to.
I have three children so they take turns pedalling.
Division of labor, smart
Take turns? Get more bikes.
Are they your children or do we need to send patrol cars over???

That’s all and good but there is no reason to eat or use animal products and less of a reason to discount them.
Especially if the guy calls himself progressive.
I got ragebaited by this HARD bro.
So did 26 others as of this writing.
Sweet.
Edit: 48 now. brb popcorn
Since when is it considered ‘ragebait’ to give a damn about animals?
Boring
I’m an animal and he’s providing me cheaper goods. Some animals are more equal than others
Oh fuck off. I know you’re mostly a satire account but this is just ignorant and unhelpful.
Reforming agriculture is important, but we can find a way to do that without forcing the urban poors into debt and starvation
I just care about animal rights.
So do I, but you’re not going to get the entire population of NYC to become vegan overnight.
Reforming agriculture is important, but so is reducing hunger and poverty.
Vegan food is cheaper, healthier and fills people up just the same as meat so it’s more effective to only offer the discounts on it.
for some people
Eggs are not animals.
Women’s rights!
Eggs are chicken periods. This is menstruvore erasure!
They are, white ninja told me that.
Is that a blogger?
chickens don’t have periods
Then what are chicken eggs?
they’re eggs. chickens lay eggs. they don’t have periods.
Eggs are periods. Where do you think they come from? What do you think they do?
birds don’t menstruate
It’s close enough. They’re excreting unfertilized eggs. I don’t feel the need to get too technical about it…
Also milk is rape
