  Good job! This is the comment that made them turn vegan! Mission accomplished!

    That’s not the goal. They attack people because that makes them feel better. Animals? Who cares. Definitely not them.

      yes. it is the vegans who really hate animals!

        What I said is that you don’t help animals with your hysteria. So I can conclude vegans really struggle with logic. At least in your case.

      Nah, facts dont care about feelings. Being vegan a day prevents the death of an animal.

    If your belief lives or dies because of some internet comment it won’t last anyway.

      See here’s what’s really really funny, people over and over again say “man if the vegan people who were trying to convince me could just not be gigantic assholes about it then maybe it would be easier to join their community”

      And then you come along and are a gigantic asshole about it and prove the entire point.

      Super solid representation, 5/7, perfection.

        If you need people to be nice to you to convince you, you care more about appearances than the argument. If people being rude stops you from acting on something you actually believe in you won’t last a month as a vegan.

        Going vegan means changing your habits, giving up a lot of your treats with nothing in return. You will be the weird one at christmas that needs “special” catering, people have to choose restaurants based on your habits and you will be the butt of a lot of jokes simply because you care about animals not being enslaved. If you need people to be nice to you, and applaud you and make you feel all warm and fuzzy to keep that going you won’t last.

        The first lesson every vegan needs to learn is: there are no rewards and no one will compliment you. You are doing this out of your own conviction and not for anyone else.

        Having a reasonable discussion with these people is like trying to play a game of chess with a pigeon. They’ll topple all the pieces, shit on the board and claim victory.

      If belligerent internet comments actually convinced you to change your diet in such an inconvenient manner for no reward but moral superiority, you are not like the people you’re trying to convince. Abusers and cults love bomb because its more effective on a random sample of people

        If one believes that the mother losing her newborn cries about it for days and that this is happening happens on an industrial scale that person will be very indignant about such a horrific injustice. That’s what convinced me, this is a real injustice and not being angry about it would be insincere

    So now I’m going to eat two burgers!

    chortle!

      I think I will actually do this now just to prove you wrong

    Meat eaters will be convicted for eating meat in the future.

      Lmfao. You gonna be vegan Stalin or something?

      source

      • Beaver@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Stalin only cares for himself.

        By holding meat eaters accountable for the crimes of eating the flesh of others we prevent the deaths of other animals.

  @Stovetop did not say nor implied that he/she is not vegan, because of the community.

  • mathemachristian@lemm.ee ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I probably should be vegan … But … I would never want to participate in a vegan community.

    Seems pretty clear to me.

    • Passerby6497@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Then you need to go back to school for reading comprehension, because being a vegan and participating in a community about veganism are not the same thing, not even remotely close.

        and yet that seems to be the stated reason…
