like my earlier example of not wearing leather or going to the zoo.
That’s fair. I concede that point that there is more to veganism than eating.
I still see that jerkface’s injection here was an insulting way (to the farmer) to try to shoehorn in the vegan philosophy into a conversation that didn’t contain it and does more of a disservice to the movement and give vegans a bad name.
Tho I see we can continue this argument forever so I’m gonna dip out as I’ve got other stuff to get on with.
I respect that too. Thank you for conversing up to this point. I hope you have a great day!
He literally used the word “vegan”. You didn’t have to engage with my comment if you found it off-topic, but instead, you have written more words than anyone else in this entire thread. You are displaying so many classic behaviours, like telling vegans how to be vegan, or how to convert someone to veganism when you yourself would not be converted by someone following your advice. You’re aggravated by our existence because you want us to just stop reminding you of something you don’t want to think about.
Your defensive behaviour has all the signs of carnism, the unconscious and evaluated value system that says that it is acceptable or even good to sometimes be cruel and violent towards vulnerable individuals. These unconscious beliefs that govern your allowable behaviour are in direct contradiction with other values you hold more consciously, such as that it is good to be kind and empathetic, especially towards the vulnerable. Holding all those ideas in your head at the same time requires a lot of psychological framework. It’s exhausting maintaining it all.
