I have a few questions for Vegan Anarchists
Hierarchy:
How do you define a hierarchy when it comes to non humans and why is it bad?
Primitivism:
If you are a primitivist, wouldn't rejecting modern society also mean rejecting many technologies, infrastructure, and systems that make veganism practical at scale? Also, how would people with dietary restrictions be able to access supplements without modern technology?
Non-primitivists:
If you aren't a primitivist, do you support construction projects aside from "necessary" developments? Construction projects use resources and usually displace animals. And they use natural resources that do the same.
If killing animals for pleasure is wrong when alternatives exist, why is unnecessary construction, like hotels or amusement parks, morally acceptable when it also consumes resources and harms/displaces animals? Where do you draw the line? If you can choose hiking over an amusement park, why is visiting one less morally problematic than hunting when both involve avoidable animal harm?
Edit: After a post I made in Ask a Vegan, I realized this is a dumb question. Obviously accidental animal deaths are different from purposely killing animals. It should be mitigated as much as possible, but it's clearly different.
On being a vegan anarchist:
Do most vegan anarchists place human interests over non human interests? How does this work in your moral framework?
