I don’t know anything about the channel, Earthling Ed, and usually don’t watch these kinds of “debates”. But I was interested in this one because I wanted to see how a vegan activist would approach indigenous practices towards hunting.
I have to say, the student came across terribly. They were not indigenous, but kept using indigenous practices and worldviews to defend their own personal meat consumption. Now, there were a lot of different camera angles and cuts in the video, so it could be edited to make the student look bad. But, as far as I can see, the student said “because Indigenous people living in far off places need to kill to be able to survive, we in the city should be able to as well.”
-_-
I met an indigenous person once, and surprise surprise, they weren’t offended that I was :im-vegan:. Met some Indians too, and they didn’t think I was a neo-nazi for saying “I don’t like the dairy industry”. Hell, both saw where I was coming from.
I was inspired to go vegan by an Indigenous friend. That’s part of why I find this discourse frustrating sometimes.
