Vegans take note: the drive for these damns comes from the world’s largest soya producers.

A beautiful story.

Yes!

Veganism and the wanton destruction of indigenous areas have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. The way these companies manage soy production is not the way it has to be. Please read up on this issue before you go making half-assed assumptions and publically display your ignorance on the topic.

Right back at you, Victoria. Monocrop farming necessitates the exploitation of those on the periphery for the benefit of those in the center of empires.

“Vegans take note: the drive for these damns comes from the world’s largest soya producers.”
jack ass, take note, most of this goes into non-human animal feed (“85 percent of worldwide soy production is used for animal feed”). note two: all of your diets and daily actions are tied to civilization. picking and choosing what food you eat now doesnt mean shit until collapse really comes. sorry to spoil the party. you can toy around with veganism or toy around with Urban Scout eating laughable squirrels, or paint balling while feeling good about kicking some dude out of nerd-camp cause youre a “man” now. or make ridiculous posters about killing farmers, most of which, probably have better hunting skills than all of you, even if they are pricks to predators and foster deer over-population (and in turn your road kill.).

sorry Dan, time to take it up a notch and include sedentary/complex hunter-gatherers to the equation too. you can Jensen/Scout/Quinn turd it up with your analysis so long where its just agriculture and civilization as your dichotomy of good and evil. get on the ball and head to Woodburn, Fry, Lee and Shepard (and others) instead of reading this useless blog of “Shit vs. Shit” posts.

That doesn’t invalidate the implied point, though. Vegans often get all high and mighty about how their diet is environmentally sound, but it isn’t. It’s just less destructive than factory farming.
note two: all of your diets and daily actions are tied to civilization.
This is just an incorrect assumption. I, personally, get a lot of food through foraging nearby my home. I use techniques to help the forests in my area, instead of depleting them. I’m obviously not a perfect environmentalist, as I’m on a computer and such, but making the assumption that we all live like you do is as foolish as it is wrong.

I have a bachelors in Anthropology and am pursuing my masters in foraging societies. I could give you my lengthy and articulated response, but since I’m doing National Novel Writing Month and need to get back to my novel, my answer boils down to this: stick it up your ass.

hey Cliff Burton Pisses on this site from the Grave
who are woodburn and fry?

Boy, did I stir some shit up. Haha. Thanks everyone.

“who are woodburn and fry”
James Woodburn, Anthropologist, studied the Hadza.
I don’t know what Fry he means, maybe Anthropologist Henry Fry who studied Australian Aborigines?

One thing to understand is that the indigenous people will prevail as they have for thousands of years. Not even the corrupt officials in Brazil can change that. For more on this subject, check out Amazon Tribes. Just my 2 cents.

I’ve determined that the Fry the anthropologist referred to above is Douglas P. Fry who wrote about warfare among nomadic hunter-gatherers.
