Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don't come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don't really get upset by it...
It’s like everything else, no one has a problem with probably 99.9% of vegans, it’s just the ones that want to pretend they are better than other people because they don’t eat meat.
The rest of them are fine.
Plus text is forever unless deleted, someone could have typed it 5 months ago, but it is still there as fresh as if it had been said 5 minutes ago, so there is a lot of aggregation involved.
If you say it, only the people around you hear and then it’s gone.
I can go in my fridge right now and pull fresh farm eggs and meat.
Local animals that are treated wonderfully until they’re killed, and even then it’s a cleaner and better death than most of us will end up having.
Whole life spent living in an open field, have a barn to go in when it rains, free food, now that I think of it these animals have a better life than most people I know.
By god, that’s horrible to realize.
We really need to focus on bringing down factory farms and cities.
They both treat their subjects the same fucking way and we just let it happen.
No smarter than the fucking cows, we all just need to spread out into towns and villages.
Bring back manufacturing jobs, 1 factory per town could probably support the local economy, all the secondary places like gas stations, restaurants, barbers, grocery stores, bars, etc…
Plus once we all spread out all the towns would have a little bit of everything from the cities and maybe I could finally get a good Italian joint around here.
My choices are imo’s and the little pretentious place downtown that college kids parents go to when they are in town.
I may be a little extra myself though, I’m moving to a town of 400 a few miles away because I think the town of 20,000 people is way too crowded.
PETA was giving away free coloring books one time so I decided to order some for my kids thinking it would be good for them to hear from all sides.
One of the pictures was three people standing over a turkey dinner with the most horrific caricatures you can think of absolutely salivating over how juicy the turkey was going to be.
I shit you not.
I had to trash the sons of bitches.
Really killed that group for me, I always that people were exaggerating about them and how bad they are.
Bro, I meant that you are being so much of an asshole that I don’t want to use trump as an insult.
Now I understand why you’re hitting up my comments, I thought you were that vegan dude I blocked.
What was meant is that I love using the cheeeto in chief as an insult so much, that I would be sad to not have to use it as an insult because it a behavior that you are using.
But yeah, you are an asshole and I am sad that if I choose to continue to use the leader of the Gravy Seals as an insult, that people might associate with you.
Everyone has the choice not to do something, even if their only other choice is death.
You wouldn’t accept that reasoning for other causes, you would say they shouldn’t support it at all.
This is no different than the Israelis trying to blame everything they are doing on hummus.
You pulled the trigger, you are responsible.
Hell, you spray the graffiti protesting against something, you are still responsible.
You can’t just pretend someone else is making you do something.
It takes all the integrity out of what you are doing.
It’s like these kids who are catching a record and getting charged.
Should they be charged? I don’t think so. Maybe the ones who were supposedly holding a janitor against their will, I haven’t seen anything proving that yet though so…
The impressiveness of protest is people standing together and saying this is wrong and we are willing to do this to affect change.
If there’s no consequence, it’s no where near as impressive.
If you are trying to show people how important your cause is, German shepherds and water cannons, show dedication.
Immediately begging to get your record cleared, shows you don’t, to me at least anyway.
If you aren’t willing to deal with the consequences, which is perfectly reasonable, don’t let it get to that part, it shows weakness.
Just walk away at that part so they don’t get the pr win.
