I uh don't think you understand what veganism is about.
I'm queer, and for a long time I was not allowed to marry my wife. Imagine how ridiculous it would be to say something like "you shouldn't shame people for not treating you as an equal. You would have more of an impact trying to get people to recognise your relationship for medical authority purposes". It's just completely missing the point.
Humans are not fundamentally different to non human animals. Each one of them deserves dignity and respect, every cage must be empty.
Passive aggressively wagging your finger at people who haven't committed completely to veganism won't empty any cages. Convincing people to reduce their consumption peacemeal will. It sounds like you care more about the sense of self satisfaction than you do about the animals being harmed though so go off.
🙄 when you get angry at racists, sexists, sex pests, DVers, people that beat dogs, whatever are you angry because you want to feel a sense of self satisfaction? Or because it hurts you to see people hurting others and behaving in reprehensible ways?
Yeah me too.
