On point. If you have the time to watch a twitch streamer ramble on, you probably have time to buy beans and rice.

If you're pro liberation for all but not vegan, you're not pro liberation for all, just as you can't be a feminist while beating your spouse
There isn't a massive global wife beating industry. There IS a massive global meat industry however. That is our enemy, not individuals who for whatever reason are not vegan at this moment.
because it's not an industry it's ok?
how can I trust someone wants to fight the massive global meat industry when they can't be bothered to eat beans instead of corpses?
Through that meat industry though there are huge financial subsidies on meat products such that eating dirt-cheap meat is often more affordable, huge advertisement campaigns resulting in personal and social pressures to consume meat, meat becoming commonly understood to be a default staple in meals through the industry's influence on nutrition education, eating vegetarian or vegan at a restaurant/conference/meeting etc. having severely limited options, etc. etc.
There are far more external factors prompting your consumption of meat than beating your spouse. I agree that veganism is a crucial part of liberation, but you can't expect all comrades to be perfect - they still operate within the confines of capitalism, much like the climate activist with a car. Yes I know driving a car is different to eating animal bodies, but lot of ideological work has been done to separate consumption of meat from the consumption of corpses harvested through mechanized genocide.
Some comrades will come early to this mindset, some late, but you can't dismiss people who are clearly trying to understand liberation for not being perfect instruments of it, they're still learning and they always will be, and they're on the right path too. Help them.

flying around the world is still a thousand times better than having persons be murdered for you, but you're still right

I guess I am not getting my point across effectively. I have to go to work so I can't continue this discussion now.
CW: domestic violence
What is it with just putting comparisons out this in the wild with no content warning or anything? Just right out of the gate comparing someone to a wife beater because they don't agree with your specific line of thought. Just immediately with the domestic violence comparisons. Every. Single. Time.
