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

    No thanks!

    That’s the fallacy called “whataboutism” where you point out other issues that exist as a reason to not solve the current problem we’re talking about.

      I would absolutely agree with you if there was only one surefire way to making earth uninhabitable, but luckily we’ve got several of those on the table at once.
