Itâs not about just food preferences, itâs about right and wrong.

Aaaand here goes the fucking preaching đ
dx1@lemmy.world â¨1⊠â¨year⊠ago
In absolutely no way is that âpreachingâ.

Fun fact: like most people, Iâm pretty damn ridiculous at times. This means that I sometimes am the object of criticism and/or ridicule. You and I have that in common.
Hereâs the difference, though: I donât go out of my way to play the persecuted martyr.
Not eating meat is a perfectly reasonable personal decision. Not using any animal products of any kind sounds difficult to the point of constant exhaustion to me personally, but if thatâs what makes you happy, then thatâs good.
Just like the bad kind of religious person though, youâre preaching that everyone who doesnât make the same choice is wrong and should be ashamed of themselves. While simultaneously acting like everyoneâs out to get you no matter what you say and do. Thatâs not not reasonable.

I am not âgoing out of my way to play the persecuted martyrâ, I opened the Lemmy home page and âpost trashing vegansâ was post #3. I thought I left this shit behind when I left reddit, but now itâs here too.
Not using animal products is not exhausting. Iâve done it for a decade and itâs a remarkably easy change where 99% of the difficulty comes from the wider society being hostile to it.
It is an ethical position based on an actual reality of animal agriculture causing vast suffering that we have chosen to opt out of supporting. It is absolutely reasonable and selfless to advocate for the rights of others at a minor, negligible personal sacrifice. It is not a sign of a need to shame others, a need to be a martyr, or any other personality defect that youâre going to project on vegans based on a stereotype despite knowing NOTHING about any of us as individuals. Nobody is trying to make you âfeel ashamedâ, we are pointing out objective facts about how the animal ag industry causes harm to animals and people like you, like youâre doing in this comment right here, launch into this whole frigging diatribe about how vegans are shaming you and judging you and have a god complex and should just shut up and go back into their corners, because god forbid anyone should ever suggest that anything youâre doing is less than perfectly ethical.

Thereâs absolutely no way, based on everything youâve already said, that reading that novel will be worth the time and effort. Go take a nap or something.

Not impressed.
