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.
