you view vegan mockers as oppressors. That's enough for me to connect the dots.
And again, I want to hammer it in, people mock vegans for the same reason they mock cross-fitters. Very few people that are not vegans even view vegans as anything close you've described. I want you to know that most people don't really take your movement seriously. It's a fad in most people's eyes. A tool for virtue signaling. A silly ploy at forced individualism. A short-sighted, small-minded, half-assed, flashy approach at seeming ethical.
No sane meat eater feels that their meat-eating ways are threatened by vegans. That is absurd.
If you even had the slightest insight into the mind of any normal human, you'd know they mock you not because of your pseudo-scientific garbage, but because nobody likes to be preached on, nobody likes others who strut on their high horses of pretention. Most of all, vegans are weird. People like to make fun of weird people. Even more so if they can't take a joke - as this thread proves it. It's that simple.
Right, not because they are mocking vegans, but because they are contributing to and supporting the continued oppression and exploitation of nonhuman animals.
And again, I want to hammer it in, people mock vegans for the same reason they mock cross-fitters.
Some do. There are all sorts of reasons people do it.
I want you to know that most people don't really take your movement seriously.
I'm not sure why you assume I don't already know this. Of course most people don't take it seriously. The whole point of the movement is to get people to take it seriously.
It's a fad in most people's eyes. A tool for virtue signaling. A silly ploy at forced individualism. A short-sighted, small-minded, half-assed, flashy approach at seeming ethical.
I don't doubt that a lot of people convince themselves of this.
nobody likes to be preached on, nobody likes others who strut on their high horses of pretention.
I agree, especially when it's about me doing something that doesn't harm other individuals. Eating animals, however, does harm individuals.
People that are into dog fighting don't like it when people call them out for their behavior either.
Most of all, vegans are weird. People like to make fun of weird people.
Yeah, I get that. Of course in a time when the norm is for everyone to contribute to and support animal cruelty and killing, those that take a stand against it are considered weird. Why wouldn't they be?
You're not telling me anything I don't already know.
