Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
Bonehead@kbin.social 5 months agoWow...so you've been so poor that you can only afford rice and beans, and you've been offered free food that you turned down because it wasn't vegan? Really? See, that's the kind of smugness OP was talking about. You put you're veganism above securing food, and you're proud of it. You willingly sacrificed your self-preservation for your principles. And now you're advertising it.

Yes, because you claim to be poor yet still call being vegan a lifestyle choice. And you chastise others in your position for not making that choice. Poor people don't get to make those choices. Poor people do whatever it takes to survive. Poor people live on that desert island every single day and have to make difficult decisions. Poor take whatever they can get and are greatful for it. Poor people don't have the privilege to turn down food.
Maybe begin to recognize your own privilege before telling other people what to do.

Then literally the very best sentence, you contradict yourself.
You claim to be poor, claim to not attack people are poor, then chastise people who are poor for not making the same choices that you do. You are a hypocrite. Have a nice day.
