Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by it IRL
Well, when someone is being attacked they tend to feel like the victim in the exchange.
You’re not the victim. You’re not the one who’s throat is being cut. You’re the one paying for it to happen, because you like a taste and they can’t fight back because they don’t have a voice.
Attacked? How about the billion animals that are literally killed for pleasure?
