Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?
bastion@feddit.nl 7 months agoYep. It’s not the way of life, it’s the pretentious self-righteousness, and most people aren’t that way. Is like the ‘bad Christians’ fucking it up for all the ones that are basically love-and-forgiveness believers that are largely benign.
Most people - Christians, vegans, meat eaters - are generally pretty chill. It’s the inciters that suck.

Meat-eaters support a very harmful industry (both for the animals as well as the environment).
Nothing chill about that.

Lol I didn’t downvote you, and your self-righteousness is more of a block to getting the industry changed than it is a benefit.
Swallow your pride, don’t be a dick. Be humble, be honest about how you feel, and live up to your own ideals. But being an insufferable twat just drives people away from your ideals - you should really only do that to insufferable twats, otherwise, the thing you stand for isn’t saving animals, it’s self-righteous intolerance - and people look at you and think “glad I’m not like that guy.”
Win the hearts and minds, don’t just stab people for being wrong - or you’ll keep stabbing until you finally stab yourself to death.
