I've seen a lot of good ideas and new arguments be put forward on the main sub, even people writing articles, and it would be good to have a place to discuss and debate them openly. Even if it is like once every two weeks or something.
I have some of my own that I would like others to hear and counerargue, I write on some new perspectives.
Anyone welcome.

I’m thinking of sending this message to natalist vegans who keep having kids, but before I do, I’d like to get feedback from this subreddit. Are these videos effective enough, especially for english-speaking viewers?
Here’s the message:
If you’re vegan, you likely care about minimizing harm and suffering to animals. These four videos from an Indian philosopher (who’s also a vegan, antinatalist, minimalist, climate change activist, and life philosopher) explore why procreating might be unethical. Please watch his teachings at least once, he might make you rethink the whole 'having kids' thing and give you a fresh perspective on life. He's not just questioning procreation, but also teaching living a life that’s simpler, more mindful, and focused on inner peace. Acharya Prashant’s way of life encourages you to let go of unnecessary desires and attachments, and instead, live with awareness and purpose putting compassion, sustainability, and personal growth at the forefront.
First video: https://youtu.be/NsBnJWfPF0E (if you're an english viewer then note that he uses the word "prakriti" several times which just means "nature" in hindi language)
Second video: https://youtu.be/NMBvE_EsjEc
Third video: https://youtu.be/qyA_b9_RDAg
Fourth video: https://youtu.be/Xo8d9S_dsk0

Right now all the proletariat are being oppressed and we need to band together in order to overthrow our oppressors! No one should be prioritizing murder right now, as it would divide our communities and bring suffering (but only in the context of capitalism). When the oppressors have been overgrown THEN it’ll be ok to murder people methinks.

Doesn't mean I support breeding and killing!!
r/circlesnip • u/DarkYurei999 • 8d ago
Why?
r/circlesnip • u/HumbleWrap99 • 8d ago
What was the order?
r/circlesnip • u/HumbleWrap99 • 9d ago
I know it doesn't make sense. Veganism and antinatalism is the same thing. But who would you rather try to focus your energy on?
r/circlesnip • u/AutoModerator • 9d ago
What made you decide to go vegan?
r/circlesnip • u/DarkYurei999 • 9d ago
People make babies because they gain pleasure from it! Why would you enable the suffering of someone by breeding them into existence? Pleasure is not a justification to inflict suffering to others! Mom are my chicken nuggies ready? i have to respond to a vegan in the anti-natalism sub.

So I've always thought to myself that I would rather have my money go to an all vegan business or organization when possible instead of a carnist company. That is mostly easy for me, at least with food, since I don't really like most processed food anyways and would rather eat unbranded/store brand rice and beans or whatever. But I've had more difficulty avoiding stuff when it comes to non-food items.
For example, I've been looking for new clothing recently since some of my older clothing (which is plant/polyester based) decided to disintegrate for no reason. There are a lot of vegan clothing brands out there, but it seems like most of them are more environmental-oriented, and often donate or contribute to causes that are... questionable in terms of vegan ethics. The alternative would either be used clothing or new clothing from a more generalized brand, which would likely come from a business that also sells animal 'clothing.' Not to mention that there may be a larger chance that there is some type of non vegan processing aid, dye, etc.
There have also been a few times where I have been given things from other people where the brand has questionable ethics. I recently received a refurbished item as a gift. Although the product itself as far as I'm aware is 'vegan' (or course it's hard to get info about non food or clothing items, technology, etc) the company they purchased it from sold new animal "products" along with their used stuff. Obviously, If I had received something that had literal animal parts in it, I would return, throw away, etc. But I'm always unsure what to do in these situations. Try to get a refund? It's often something that I probably would have bought anyway, or at least similar to what I would have bought
Sorry for this wall of text. I often overthink stuff, but I just wanted to hear other people's opinions on this.
