Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
ASeriesOfPoorChoices@lemmy.world 6 months agoI do.
because vegans hate honey. And we need more honey because we need more bees. (Yes, this topic is more nuanced than that, and is species and geographically limited, but it stands.)

If you have the ability to hate an entire demographic of people based on the actions of a few in that demographic you really need to take a moment for some self-reflection.

the topic was “hating the concept of veganism”, not “demographic of people”. if you can’t separate people from concepts, there’s something wrong with you.
and if you don’t think that the planet needs more bees, there is something seriously ignorant with you.

How can you hate a concept that doesn’t even make any sense.
It’s like saying I hate the idea of the color red.
Also, I’m perfectly fine with bees. We need more bees.

I hate lots of concepts. Nazism, for example. You could call it a concept or an ideology, but I hate it all the same. I don't just hate the people who practice it; I hate the concept in and of itself.

we do need more bees. But the concept of veganism means we can’t keep bees, so we don’t have a direct financial reason to support their numbers (just indirect).
So fuck veganism.
