    Veganism actually forces me to change something about myself and that’s uncomfortable.

    Having your opinion changed on China does as well, so I am not sure what distinction you're trying to draw. Beginning to see that you've been an 'unwitting pawn parroting CIA propaganda' (or whatever the line is) seems pretty uncomfortable to me.

      idk, it wasn't even remotely uncomfortable for me. It was actually really exciting, and it opened up a whole new perspective of knowledge and had me second-guess a lot of "established" facts.

      eating zero meat: definitely very uncomfortable for me. I would compare not eating meat to not orgasming, it's just extremely hard to resist that, which is why I still do it

        I mean you can say the same thing about anti-imperialism and leftism so I'm really straining to see the distinction you're trying to draw.

          new way of thinking =/= new way of eating
          the former is easier to do

          those things aren't being vegan. being vegan is less appealing for people than agreeing with things.
          Let's put it this way: I had no idea what a democrosocialiwhatchamalit was when I was 4 years old. But I knew that flesh go in tumtum = tum feel good. Obviously that gastronomical material craving is stronger than any political leaning
