General_Effort@lemmy.world 1 week agoAt first, I was confused. Isn’t the fact that you believe something the only justification for saying something? I mean, otherwise you’d be lying. But you’re saying you disagree with the belief in the first place, right?

I’m saying that the idea that something is justified because it is believed makes no sense. Apologies for being unclear.

Ok, I understand. You don’t like them because of their beliefs.
Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 week ago
No, I’m making the same point as @redisdead. Everyone says things because they believe them. That doesn’t make what they say correct. I actually think that veganism is a morally good position, but the justification of that position being “because I believe it” means literally nothing.

Ok, so that’s why you’re not making any sense. You have no idea what’s going on.
Look, it’s very simple. Vegans are a small, harmless minority. So some people bully them. Of course, it’s their own fault. They wouldn’t mind them if they weren’t “out and proud”. It’s always the same story. There’s almost no variation.
I thought you were saying that it’s ok to bully them because they believe the wrong thing. That’s what @redisdead is saying. He compares them to “right wing cunts” when they speak their beliefs. Fascis get bashis. Just like vegans, I guess.
Watch the company you keep.
