For example, I don’t use TikTok. I never have, and I never will, and I’d advise everyone else to get off the platform too. I genuinely believe it’s objectively harmful to people’s mental health and possibly even a threat to democracy. That said, I also believe people should be free to decide for themselves whether they want to use it or not, which is why I’m against the U.S. government banning it.
You could choose to subtly influence your relatives, but instead you “protest”. Pfft. Given the vegan I knew well, what you’re actually doing here is not going because you’re too grossed out by it. You know not going won’t inspire anyone to change, but you tell yourself that lie to justify it because being grossed out is not a high minded reason.
I have been requested to not talk about it.
Partner stopped going and the next year all family events were fully vegan because family prefers being together over eating flesh.
