If you're okay with compartmentalizing that out of the production of goods and services you use, that's a you thing.
Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Congratulations on synthesizing truly the dumbest argument I have ever seen in my entire life. Yes the whole thing.

Can you explain what's wrong with this argument? As a relatively disinterested observer it seems reasonable to me.

Being Vegan is a choice for yourself, and saying it doesn’t help to try to make a difference unless everybody does it is also stupid.
So the argument is based on no less than obvious 2 fallacies.

I'll say that this reaction does nothing to make me think you are approaching this with any objectivity.
The argument, to me, seems to be that it's impossible in the modern world as things stand to actually totally avoid animal products. That would seem like an issue that Veganism should be concerned with.
I see your point, I think, about it being an individual choice. But though I have heard of things like vegan shoes, I can see how saying those are vegan when you may not control all the inputs seems problematic.
Regardless, your response was so unpleasant that I don't think I'm much interested in continuing.

Yeah no reason to go to the moon if we can’t visit other planets yet. That’s the kind of logic you are arguing.
The vegan argument is to not contribute to animal suffering, you can’t control what other people do.
And avoiding suffering doesn’t help because there will still be suffering is about as stupid as it gets.
