Every liberal does it too, from center right radlibs to far-right “conservatives”: the most extreme right fringe liberals hate the mainstream liberals for not being bigoted enough, the mainstream libs hate the radlibs for not being cruel enough, and the radlibs hate the left for not being chauvinist enough.
Denouncing chauvinism in particular is like a liberal moral event horizon, a cardinal sin against their self-interested belief in the righteousness of the imperial hegemon that keeps the treats flowing at gunpoint.
None of the problems I’ve seen with vegans has been about the harm of the industry. We’re all aware of exploitation. The issue arises around some posters making it a very personal, individual attack on others rather that seeing that diet is also a place where capitalism has wielded its force. Calling someone that is on your side politically on many of the issues of the day a blood mouth doesn’t win allies
I’m not so sure when all of the concern against caring too much gets brought up anyway.
Neither does smug “dae le vegans annoying scolds”
statements against vegans that generally aren’t even wrong about their takes at a material level.
I’m just saying, you can be right about something but do it in a way where you alienate everyone.
If only they had more @[email protected] they’d stop getting raged at for daring to exist in a visible way on the internet.
Let’s set aside the people that were going to rage at you for daring to exist, because they’re not really who matter and you’re not going to change their minds.
I mean yeah, maybe the bit account @[email protected] does have some kernel of truth where being civil builds solidarity and wins people over and gets people to change instead of just screaming at them and then getting ignored.
looks at a clock. The numbers 1-12 are replaced with the words “STRUGGLE SESSION”
Good heavens, just look at the time
Even bringing up the tendency for struggle sessions summoned someone very concerned about uncivil veganism.
you brought up veganism in your original post you goofus jfc lol
Yes, because the discussion was liberals reacting to others “being good” in a way that makes them feel uncomfortable and enrages them. “You goofus jfc lol.”
EDIT: Also, according to you, apparently bringing up veganism in the first place is the “goofus” thing to do. That isn’t quite the own you apparently think it is.
