I don’t think vegan activism is useful at all. At least not the kind that follows the laws of the human supremacist systems we live under - and even then, while effective for a select few individuals, I do not see change coming out of those.

There is no path towards a vegan world to be taken, the best thing to hope for is the utter destruction of all regimes, and the annihilation of human supremacy one way or another. Which is something no individual can bring about, and it probably won’t happen for centuries, so it’s moot.

Might as well make your own reality and surroundings the best they can be. There is naught left to do for us.

This year is the year I get swole and dunk on everyone unhealthy. Not really a resolution as I started the process long ago and refined it with time in part thanks to Hamid’s advice of going noil, and also reconstructing my way of eating thanks to congee.

Already lost 14kgs in 4 months (and a lot more before that) - doing sports every day for one month and a half. I am now 69kgs for 1m77 - overweightness being distant now, and definitely being into the healthy range, is a great feeling. Especially when most of my self worth stems from my physical appearance (specifically weight) and how disciplined I am related to eating and exercising.

Now if only I could also be pain free, now that’d be swell.
