I’m confused by how many reposts I see of Polymarket posts. Why is that a thing?

So I figured out what film this is referencing but what does this caption have to do with… Anything?

No I understand. I don’t think anyone is implying that because mushrooms aren’t plants that it makes veganism bullshit. My response came from a place of me wishing things like that could be discussed without the black and white thinking. I haven’t heard anyone discuss that. And I have a feeling the knee jerk reaction would normally be defensive.

No one said any of that here.

I guess you’re going for hoardes of people vomiting like in that one family guy episode. Might work.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
Yeah. I think it comes down to the absolutism. They almost certainly ate some amount of meat/animal products themselves, but once they arrived at their current principles, they have no more understanding for it. Rather than remember that they too had to learn/work to get to their understanding, they see you as an enemy for not sharing it. Of course I mean if you offer even the slightest pushback.
I’ve reduced my meat intake by a lot and I agree with what you wrote here. If vegan food was widely available everywhere I’d probably eat WAY less animal products. But dozens of vegans online have given no shits about that, whereas a reasonable person would, and would have some level of empathy toward not being 100% with them on everything they say in terms of applying the knowledge. I totally get wondering how a person could acknowledge animal suffering and still participate in it. I’ve examined myself over that one hundreds of times now. But it’s the reality, it’s where I’m at. And I should be able to talk about it without an automatic assumption that I’m a thoughtless monster who is trying to tear down their worldview. I’m not. Is this about me personally? I’m talking about so obviously yes it’s sorta personal that I have these unpleasant and unproductive conversations on the Internet sometimes, but I truly would rather them not happen for anyone else either. For the toxic assholes who really do want to tear down veganism, they’re worse people, but I already knew that. For the vegans spewing hatred at all the “carnists” I expect better and I think I’m right to. They changed their lives for a good reason. Now why the fuck can’t they talk about it the majority of the time? It’s frustrating.

That’s fine. You’re not able to understand that I am not against you. I’ll block you now to avoid this in the future.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
I have known vegans IRL who are genuinely reasonable and can discuss this stuff. On the Internet, 95% of the time you just cannot even discuss it with someone who identifies as vegan, I would imagine even if you’re a vegan yourself, unless you 100% agree with them on how to apply the philosophy. In this very thread I asked a question and it was all but ignored and I was assumed to be shitting on veganism rather than questioning a specific argument/interpretation of it. I think it sucks because I literally agree with like 90% of everything any vegan says, it’s when they veer away from the facts and more toward personal feelings they have that I cannot talk to them about it anymore. It makes sense on the one hand because if that viewpoint resonates with you it’s gonna make you upset to think about and to be shit on for, but on the other, if it cannot even be discussed without false assumptions, insults, and avoidance of inconvenient facts on their part, they’re just going to lend credence to the anti-vegan prick arguments. Because of this extreme inability to even discuss the topic I have to block a lot of vegans because I’d rather do that than always remain silent for fear of upsetting them. They always seem 100% convinced I’m an evil carnist who hates them and is pretending not to be just to erode veganism, but it’s just not so.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
I don’t know what edit you’re talking about genuinely and I don’t know why you think I accused you of anything multiple times because I didn’t.
So the answer to my question is “because they didn’t consent”. Okay. This could’ve been reached much more simply and without all the assumptions which you refuse any responsibility for and blame it on me for not being clear. I get that vegans deal with a lot of bad faith arguments but if you assume every argument or question is in bad faith, that’s not helping anyone.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
Are you asking what the point of veganism is since you’ve randomly decided it isn’t a coherent philosophy based on your own strawman?
Did you even read anything I wrote? Because that’s not what I said or believe.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
Notice how you’re not responding to my question?
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
Veganism is about consequences or at least should be. If an animal was (and apparently in this case is) killing the ecosystem if you don’t kill it, I’m curious what the rationale for it not being vegan is. Veganism seems to end cruelty and suffering. Whereas in this case not killing the kangaroo would be a choice that leads to more suffering and that’s not just for humans. If veganism isn’t about applying these “rules” for a purpose and instead it’s just about applying them without taking context into consideration, what’s the point of it?
- Comment on 3 days ago:
Ok yeah I missed that.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
No. If someone ate no animal products besides honey that doesn’t make them not vegan, it means they don’t share the opinion that honey causes animal exploitation. I do not wish to register an opinion there, I’m just saying what the rationale is.
- Comment on I'm right and the other vegans are wrong 3 days ago:
Huh, I’ve not heard any vegan talk about that. In fact mushrooms are a staple in many of the vegan foods I’m aware of

People who would be angered by this aren’t reachable, ya just gotta block em.

There are so many situations that a comment like this would make sense. But not this one, honestly. I just recently posted about Lemmy having a lot of toxicity. This post and this thread are not an example of it. It was just a joke that you took seriously and then got condescending about. That’s all.
- Comment on We ain't happy anymore... 5 days ago:
This meme is literally threatening to beat someone up for being happy
I don’t think you understand humor. The mood of the world, not just Lemmy, has shifted and for good reason. This is a fact. Coincidentally, people are allowed to joke about that fact without someone ragingly inventing a lot of baggage to go with it.
- Comment on We ain't happy anymore... 5 days ago:
This comment alone is probably dumber than anything I’ve ever written, and I’m sure I’ve said some shit stupider than I can even remember.
- Comment on We ain't happy anymore... 5 days ago:
But I want to please REDaCTeD!!
People know what a digital detox is, you’re just getting an expected response when you yell commands at people while dismissing their valid worries. If you wanna pretend the world’s problems don’t affect anyone that’s on you, stop trying to force everyone else’s head in the sand like nothing bad ever happens to anyone, besides of course Internet-only negative content. It makes you look like a child on top of being unhelpful and annoying.
- Comment on We ain't happy anymore... 5 days ago:
Where do we apply to be allowed to worry? I’m just trying to do things the legal way, o wise one.

If you’re calling a 99% white religion an ethnicity and repeatedly refuse to explain, it’s pretty obvious what a person would conclude
- Comment on Nice Going Buddy 1 week ago:
When people make bold claims with no obvious backing for it, people end up pulling things out of their ass.
You still have not indicated what I’m supposed to know here. Saying something about a religion is disparaging an “ethnicity” for you but you won’t explain why. Citing the definition and having it mention that religion is usually part of it does not clear anything up.
Religion is not ethnicity, and your insistence that it is, without giving anything specific as to the thought process, is sus on your part. You have been given benefit of doubt but you’re not utilizing it.
- Comment on Nice Going Buddy 1 week ago:
Is your argument that because that definition includes the word religion then they are the same thing? Religion is rarely ethnicity and even less so in the west
- Comment on Nice Going Buddy 1 week ago:
- that wasn’t me 2) that’s not even unfair 3) religion is not “an ethnic group”
- Comment on Nice Going Buddy 1 week ago:
What ethnic group…?
