    Nope. Vegans are fine. Veganist like you are religious nut jobs. You’ve created narratives and then act like anyone who doesn’t agree with you is the bad guy. Not unlike the far right or any other extremist group.

    That feeling of your existence being a threat is the same feeling any other authoritarian feels.

      Vegans are abstaning, you are acting. Supporting animal agriculture makes you the aggressor. The animals are the victims.

      anyone who doesn’t agree with you is the bad guy.

      You seem a little defensive. Threatened even.

        I’m sure you perceive it that way, as you already said you perceive being a threat. You appear to take pride in it.

        Couldn’t be less threatened by you. Your abstinence reduces price competition for meat products. You are restricting yourself such that it benefits me.

        The real threat in this regard are the boomers who eat more meat products than other generations.

        I feel I should donate a quarter head of beef to a local food pantry in your name as tribute and to show there are no ill feelings. At least from me. I doubt you feel the same towards me.

          “I’m going to pay a killer to give me a corpse in your name just to spite you, but I’m going to pretend I’m doing you a favour even though I hate it. Because I’m NOT an asshole. Doing people fake favours they don’t want is what non-assholes do.”
