    Oh look, typical carnist cliché is getting offended because someone criticized the weird shit you do.

    I didn’t see anyone else pointing out how bizarre it is to fetishize bee puke.

    And people hate vegans because most people want to believe they’re at least “pretty good people”, and the very presence of a vegan challenges that belief. If you’re offended, maybe it’s time to look in the mirror.

      is this even provable? has anyone ever said that’s why they, themselves, hate vegans?

            I am just going to respond to all of your other messages here, because it’s the same answer: it is not my job to educate you. YOU are the one who is continuing to live in a way that’s morally repugnant. What you are doing is directly supporting a system that is routinely putting billions of lives through a real life hell - their entire existence is suffering - only to be butchered at the equivalent of an adolescent or juvenile age. What you are consuming is the traumatized remains of beings who were basically children, who were confined as part of a perpetual holocaust that’s being conducted at an unprecedented scale. They committed no crimes. They are completely innocent. And you abuse them anyway, and mock the few people who try to undo this injustice.

            That’s not even getting into the devastating health effects of consuming animals, or the wanton destruction of the environment and greenhouse gas emissions that go with it.

            Do you count yourself a leftist, or in any way oppose the fascist republicans? Well the animal ag industry is one of their primary sources of revenue, and meat and dairy consumption is central to the white nationalist identity. Non-vegan leftists are not leftists at all, because you can’t even bring justice to your own dinner table, and you are directly paying the fascists every day.

            It is YOUR job to get educated, and get right.

              there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. anything you pay for, you are lining the pockets of fascists.

              this is purely appeal to emotion. it’s not even true. it’s not a holocaust.

              this is a non sequitur. it reads like you’re grasping at straws

        No, he is speaking how he imagines things are. Vegans, like everyone else, can be great people or horrible people. No illusions there.

        No amount of veganism makes them better humans.

        It’s always good for a laugh when a vegan thinks like this though
