    Being less of an extremist about it would result in fewer animals being eaten, though.

    In other words, you are killing animals via your attitude.

      Factually untrue lmao. All social rights movements historically only brought about major change by being loud and disruptive

        There’s some truth to that. However, not all loud and disruptive activities have been successful at achieving their goals. Most are counterproductive.

        I would say that militant veganism is about as productive at promoting a plant-based diet as the Westboro Baptist Church was at promoting heterosexuality.

      Lmao why I’m responsible for your actions? I don’t financially support animal exploitation and murder. You need to stop eating animals and get with the times. That is a lame excuse and you know it.

      If you want to learn more of where vegans are coming from then watch Dominion 2018:

        You are responsible for my actions because you are so combative I’m going to order a hamburger because of you. And today is salad day.

          Sounds to me like you were just looking for an excuse to do something you’re not totally convinced is the right thing… Your comment also reads way more aggressive than it would have had to be, which makes me think that vegan got to you more than you’d like. But that’s just me. And I’m in permanent conflict myself for trying to eat vegan myself and raising two kids (as predominately vegetarian omnivores - if that makes any sense.)

            Sure if you want to read into psychology of a comment and “who got to who hardest” go ahead. I just saw a combative vegan and ordered burgers which I didn’t plan on eating today. Do with that what you will, attribute some internalised guilt, whatever.
