Listen to this undeniable fact: You are not a good person for being a vegan.
No one is evil or sociopathic or bad for eating animals either. We are doing what nature made us for.
You in the other hand, are causing more harm to those animals, by not manipulating dumb people to become vegan even if it's for image. You will never win, you will never be morally superior to anybody, because you yourself are causing so much pain to them by saying shit like "I’d rather not have people in it purely for the image". If you were smart, which vegans rarely are, you'd understand that those people doing it purely for the image are still saving animals and convincing others of joining them, because humans are that gullible and simple-minded, hivemind and all that.
And I am not a liberal, I am a humanist. Your attitude, comments and stances are helping no one but the elite class. Make us fight sideways, never up. Distract us with meaningless shit right now like saving animals, while people are starving to death and more concerned with surviving. Veganism is expensive, it tastes bland and bad, and you are doing nothing to help that. You are making it worse.
Be as mean as you want to carnists. That's how you create more of them, lol. You are probably the biggest carnist of all, because you care more about stroking your ego than actually doing what's best for the ideology of saving animals. And I was not lying, I did try veganism during college, lasted like half a year, I couldn't afford the lifestyle without getting heavily sick, and I'd be yelled at by people like you anyway, so, it wasn't worth it, I did it because I do care about animals, but I decided I care about humans more, at least for now while we get our shit together and can finally have the stability, time and freedom to focus on solving this issue.
I have done more for animals that you ever have. I have worked for a startup research that is trying to decipher animals' language through the use of AI, the good kind, like finding proteins and that, not stealing art. With AI it's easier to categorize the patterns of animals' speech, and so the big ethical question is starting to rise up: What would humans do if they could understand animals? Literally, what they're saying, translated to English. You might laugh at that, but we have done crazier shit like reaching the moon, so. It's probably not that far away, the day a cow, a dog, or a chimpanzee can tell us what they think about us, which will make people think twice before eating them again.
You are the one who is evil here. Never forget that. You "care" about animals to feel morally superior. I care about them because I simply care about them and keep these topics to myself and don't bring them up at irrelevant times like these, because I know that that causes more harm to animals than not, especially when you're using them to attack one of the few content creators we have that are actively working against the elite, against Israel, against everything that is wrong with America. Good job, dude. You are making people hate veganism for nothing but a hoax about a shock collar. It's incredible.
Blah blah blah. What a bunch of drivel.
Yes, I'm evil. I'm evil because I refuse to kill or torture animals. I'm evil because I want people to act genuinely rather than based on image and self-aggrandizement. Sure, who even cares. Your moral framework is so obviously absurd and ridiculous that it can be dismissed without a second thought.
It's like you've confused the concept of morality with that of politeness. You're like the final boss of concern trolling. Utterly absurd. Laughable. Impoliteness is not immoral. Causing living beings to suffer needlessly is.
Go eat a carcass, bloodmouth.
You are evil for creating more carnists with your "holier-than-thou" attitude you are trying to force upon everyone as a shortcut. You are not above anyone, you are not a hero nor a good person for not eating animals. You are a dumb piece of shit who is holding humanity back with your petulant pathetic ego.
And again, all this for a fucking hoax about a shock collar. Go fuck yourself.
Amazing. I'm somehow morally responsible for you deciding to eat meat (a decision you made long before reading anything I wrote), but you aren't. I can't imagine being so shameless.
It goes beyond the meme of "'Stop killing people' um I'm literally neurodivergent & also a minor?" We're now into "'Stop killing people' fuck you, I'm going to kill more people and it's your fault because you told me to stop."
Take responsibility for your own fucking actions.
You and everyone who behaves like you whom I came across before you, yes. You are insufferable assholes who don't deserve to be given what they want. This is what you are doubling down on, and keep doing it.
You don't just say "Stop killing people", you are doing worse than that, by pairing your activism with a hoax, by using "Stop killing people" to demonize others at the same time, and shit like that will make people kill more people.
I am taking responsibility for my own actions, you are not. You are causing so much harm to the vegan movement, by using it to justify hoaxes and hatred toward groups of people, instead of being constructive, cool, fun, or nice about it. You are rabid, violent, angry, insufferable, stupid, ignorant, naive. And all that only pushes people away from your ideas. Me in the other hand, I have dealt with so, so many assholes like you, MAGAs, pedophiles and so on, that I am tired. I don't care if you win or lose, I hate you as much as I love you, so, whether you win and manage to make a better world, good. If you lose and suffer, good. I don't care, stop trying to attack my character, my name is PepperoniNipple, dude. You are a fucking loser.
Didn't read.
Typical MAGA behavior. Thanks for showing your true colors. That's all I wanted.
"MAGA behavior" is when you blame everyone but yourself for the acts of cruelty that you commit. Refusing to listen to a self-righteous, self-aggrandizing hypocrite is not "MAGA behavior," if anything, it's the opposite.
That's you whenever you talk about people who eat meat. I am well aware of what I do, and I am doing more than you to fix it, like having worked on giving animals a literal voice. You in the other hand, are pulling a kind of "All Lives Matter" bullshit to dismiss smaller, but more important messages like "Black Lives Matter's".
MAGAs do that a lot: "Brian Thompson was a father. You support the murder of a father? Wow, you are morally corrupt. Leftists are so violent". "Why don't you bow for Charlie Kirk? Wow, the left is so violent".
Here, you are using veganism or animal cruelty to do that here. You are using it as an excuse to attack Hasan and everything else he stands for, again, like ALM vs BLM. Now I am sure you will double down and say something like "Wow, comparing Hasan to BLM, how stupid, how evil" or some nonsense like that. Vegans are some of the most irrational and rabid people I have ever met, they need to channel that energy toward the people that actually matter, and it isn't people who eat meat today, it's the rich holding those expensive lifestyles and solutions away from us
What the fuck are you even talking about? That's a completely inane, nonsense comparison.
What? Where is that even coming from? I haven't done anything like that at all.
Right, "rationality" is when you say, "It's your fault I eat meat, you evil MAGA person. How can you watch me murder animals and not bend over backwards to baby me, you heartless bastard."
You are being incredibly irrational here. Absolutely indefensible.
You are literally empowering the people spreading the shock collar hoax. Keep putting veganism in such a spotlight if your goal is to scare people away from it, I honestly don't care. Veganism is something people will address properly once we solve the biggest and most important issues first, deal with it.
Lol, what? Every vegan in this thread is saying it's bullshit an calling out people who promote it. In what way are we "literally empowering" the hoax by pointing out that the people promoting it don't care about animals unless they can use it to attack Hasan?
I think you misread what was going on completely and then jumped on the opportunity to start bashing vegans and lording over your supposed moral superiority that you earned from checks notes not lording your moral superiority over people. I'd call it an honest mistake if you weren't such an asshole about it.
