@madison_tayt the fermented cashew cheeses taste just as good but they are expensive and don’t melt.
We need more vegans to drive economy of scale and innovation.
@VernonAndOn If we aren’t better than animals then it’s cruel to harm them just as it’s cruel to harm us. If we are better than animals then we should act better and hold ourselves to the highest standards of compassion and respect.
Like obviously this is the internet and you can find aggressive people but this has nothing to do with veganism.
I’ve looked at the comments from a lot of justice movements and I don’t see a unique level of impoliteness coming from vegans.
Pro life vs pro choice. They polite?
As far as animal rights activists go vegans are by far the most polite.
Meat eaters will threaten to kill you if you cause an animal they find cute mild distress.
Dog and cat people are the same. Horse people too.
Vegans are comparatively docile.
And take a moment to understand the vegans perspective. You are defending the rape and murder of beings we care about. Often times you laugh at animal suffering. Vegans mostly just take it.
@1zzx11@sibaburck The fact you blocked me over this tweet suggests you have a low threshold for “aggressive”
I’m pretty chill. I just disagree with your framing.
@juggking898029 People think it tastes good. I think pork tastes like shit. If I said pork is bad because I think it tastes bad that would be a terrible argument.
@juggking898029 They breed dogs for food in Korea. They even have a specific breed for this called the Korean edible dog.
Just say you like dogs and it makes you sad to see them killed. No need to make up a logic you don’t even agree with.
@verysillybestie Almost nobody admits this but I agree it’s the largest reason. Humans are social primates and want to fit in.
But it’s interesting to note that fitting in is almost never a reason given. They will always say protein or food chain or plants feel pain or some other argument.
@bvrriedinteeth_ The dumbest person on earth cannot survive in the wild on their own no matter how much training you give them. It’s too complex. They will forget what you teach them and make irrational choices that get them killed.
@bvrriedinteeth_ The smartest humans can learn how to survive while the dumbest human cannot because they are literally the dumbest human on earth.
You set yourself up to lose by saying the dumbest human. I don’t think you realize how dumb people get.
@_ZeroTolerance@TheOmniLiberal His views are the opposite of most vegans and much more popular in crowds that eat a lot of meat so by your logic meat must shrink the brain.
@bednnap@ghostlycal_ I didn’t realize you thought I wanted animals to have the same rights as humans. We are in full agreement, I want animals to have different rights.
I want animals to have very basic rights in developed countries such as not being legally defined as private property.
@bednnap@ghostlycal_ You’re saying we can’t have a conversation about animals until all the humans are safe. Do you see how that’s a dishonest position?
I’m not sure where your last claim came from or what you think it means.
