Thanks for this provocative overview that can hopefully shine light into our vegan movement's incredibly important role in the healing of our society on every level, and help people see how important it is that we not let ourselves be divided against each other. As you say, the globalists are experts in dividing populations and getting them squabbling so they can be exploited and disempowered, and fear and violence are the tools they use. Our individual spiritual practices are essential to stay grounded in the deeper awareness and aware of the bigger picture, so that we are not afraid and vulnerable to their tactics, and also absolutely refusing to comply with toxic mandates and narratives, and refusing to ever view mainstream media at all. Ditch the TV, and listen within.

I really appreciate this thoughtful article. The nuances of the polarization that occurred in social subgroups is interesting. People like people like themselves. Big agro farming is a huge problem, how to transition is the problem. These farmers were corralled into this model then blamed for the problems it causes. You’ve captured how many good ideas have been twisted and are used to lure those with shallow vision into what I think would a dystopian nightmare, that I have to accept others will embrace.

Thank you Janine! Your clarity and commitment to veganism as a 'cure' for so much that is not working today in our world is inspiring, education, informative and just amazingly moving.

Apologies. I have rarely read a more self serving morass of non sequiturs. My hope is that a rationalist who is considering civilising their diet doesn't read this bollocks. An echo chamber with vegans who consider rationalism the enemy is one thing. This is public facing bullshit. Christ, I hope our enemies don't see this shite. This bollocks cannot be satirised. Fucking stop it

Hey Janine! This article articulates everything that I’ve been thinking about myself. I’ve been a vegan advocate for the last 19 years. I definitely felt the split in the in the communities when dealing with medical freedom over the last couple of years. I was amazed at how many vegans just went along with the narrative.

As a music artist that has been standing up for the animals in my songs, I suddenly felt the urgent need to stand up for humans in the same way. I never thought I would have to do that.

This whole landgrab situation and the farming protests have got me thinking in the exact ways that you have been talking about. And everything that you said resonates with me too. The globalists are probably not vegan; it just suits their agenda (and this divides vegan commutes). And just because the globalists are promoting plant-based diets, does not mean that people (who aren’t buying their narrative) should reject plant-based diets. lol

I’m so glad to know other people like yourself who are human freedom (and medical freedom) advocates and also animal liberation advocates. To me this all goes hand-in-hand. All beings should be free and sovereign. Big blessings! 🙏🏻💗
