        🤣

        anyone who has to say they are superior, is neither moral or superior.

        you know who also says they are superior?

        nazis. white nationalists. christian fascists.

        should we put vegans on that same list?

          Yes, people who don’t want animals to suffer are literally nazis. I think you cracked it.

            I’m not the one defending statements that say I’m morally superior. I’m morally challenged, because I’m human and human existence is complex and nuanced.

            I know from experience and history, the only people who outwardly promote they are morally superior are neither and usually stems from an inferiority complex.

            the most famous group of people who were both compensating for their inferiority complex and boasting their superiority was the Nazi.

            can you give a better example of who “superior vegans” would be better compared to?

              I consider myself morally superior to Jeffery Dahmer because I’m not a serial killer, apparently that means I’m a Nazi 🤔

          nazis. white nationalists. christian fascists.

          Notably, those groups on average all agree with you about eating animals. Isn’t that interesting? 🤔

            wow! population saturation! such a big brain move!

            you realize that only 3% of the US population is vegan, right? that means around 90% of the population eats meat. 9% of the US is estimated to be neo-nazi, so of course they eat meat.

            what’s the point you were trying to make? neo-nazis eat meat, so all meat eaters are neo-nazis? that’s such a lazy no effort comment, get over yourself.

              I just think it’s funny that you’re comparing vegans to nazis, white nationalists, and christian fascists even though those groups hate vegans and would probably be happy if all vegans were ground up into dog food feet-first.

              I guess you don’t see the irony.

                But I’m not comparing them.

                I said vegans believe they are morally superior and then someone said “because we are morally superior”.

                then I said that anybody that has to express they are morally superior is neither moral or superior and provided examples of the types of people who claim to be superior, morally or otherwise.

                I guess you don’t see the irony.

                do you?

                  No, you literally asked if we should put vegans on the same list as nazis, white nationalists, and christian fascists. How can I read that as anything other that comparing vegans to those groups? Groups who, as I said, would be happy if all vegans died in screaming agony. If that isn’t what you meant, then it was sloppy rhetorical framing on your part and you should do better.

                  I’m not a moralist. I don’t think moralism is useful because history does not progress as a series of moral battles.

                  But just because someone claims to be or feels like they are morally superior doesn’t put them on that same list. The slavery abolitionists claimed to be morally superior, as did the radical republicans against the monarchy, as did the suffragettes against misogyny, as does basically every group fighting against oppression. Does that make all of them the equivalent to “nazis, white nationalists, and christian fascists”? Obviously not, it’s a nonsense framing, and you should be embarrassed for even saying it.
