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 IRL
This is not how you get people to join your ideas, this is how you push them away further.
Same counter arguments people used against blacks, against gays. “If you just looked normal, people wouldn’t discriminate you”. Fuck that. I’m tired of your lame excuses. You just don’t care.
I don’t know how you read my comment and concluded that I approve racism or homofobia. It’s these kind of comments that push people away.
Vegan and non vegans are are at the opposite extremes. One only eats meat, the other never eats meat. You can’t insult people into your way. No one wants to have a conversation with you when you just randomly accuse them of homofobia. In your future attempt try going easier and with baby steps. People are more likely to stop eating meat if they take it one step at a time. This ridiculous expectation that someone must change their lifestyle over night or they’re racists… This isn’t the way, statistically speaking. But alas, this is a pointless discussion because you already know this and just want to fight with a stranger on the internet. Have a nice day.
Wow, very interesting! I really admire the way you make sense.
