I hate being mean and I wish it wasn't so effective of a tactic. But like the moment that I begrudgingly went vegan I realized that every counterargument is just obvious bullshit and it's an extremely simple black-and-white issue and the only reason I had ever entertained the notion that it was complex was motivated reasoning to avoid changing. I can't help but want to be nice about it and just be like, "Aww, check out this cute video of a cow that's friends with a dog!" And like it's so obvious watching that that killing one of those animals is just as wrong as killing the other animal. But I know that somehow the brainworms will find a way to get from point A to point B and in the process I'm probably going to end up get accused of, like, antisemitism or something, I don't even know.
I have nothing but respect for my less effectiveness-challenged comrades.

:this:
The issue isn't complicated; it's crystal clear, morally speaking. Even the fucking carnists know it, too - directly or subconsciously. That's why they're so pissed off by vegans themselves, they know they're in the wrong and they don't want to be reminded of it.
shame works
i know bad people use shame, they use it cus it works
like it or not, it works
so, hey, may as well use it for good (which, of course, everyone thinks they are, but vegans actually are correct).
:trans-vegan:
I understand and completely agree with every single argument for going vegan.
And yet I have not.
And I firmly think it's because I haven't been bullied hard enough into doing so.
:bottom-speak:
You are knowingly participating in evil acts.
Stop :top-use-words:
Like this is probably a hot take but treat it like an addictive habit you're trying to break, you might fall off the wagon a few times because there's a lot of brain worms and social pressures wrapped up with animal products, but you accept you fucked up and move on. If you're feeling tempted try to just remind yourself of the abuse that goes into it.
Literally why does anything you say or believe matter if it doesn't manifest into action or change. It's not like we're expecting you to burn down a police station or something, this is something with zero risk, no need to confront anyone or get in their face, it's 100% under your control, and it's easier than ever to do because there's more options and substitutes than ever before. If you know it's wrong, doesn't that weigh on your conscience? It's so much simpler to just do what you know is right than to spend all this time waffling and coming up with bullshit justifications. If your mental barriers to action are so strong that you can't do something this easy even when you know it right, then it is actually more important for you to push past those barriers because you need the fucking practice.
Just stop eating animals and stop being a :LIB:
I'm only being mean because you asked for it but I do mean everything I said
Becoming a vegan just made me realize how weird we are about food. Like why do my potato chips have cow secretions? I could make it way better without the dairy poison.
