You clearly didn’t read through to the end. How convenient for your argument lol.

Lol yeah vegans are such A-holes for wanting people to be kind to others. We’re basically Nazi’s. How dare we try to hold people accountable for their actions which harm others. Because when I think of Hitler, I think of a guy who forced people to be nice to others and to consider their feelings before taking an action. If only there were more people like YOU out there, fighting against the totalitarian ways of us self-righteous vegans and instead working to maintain the status quo of a world where people can be as self-centered and bigoted as they want to be. Because if you don’t have the freedom to harm others when you feel it benefits you, are you even really free?

Did you even read the whole thing? Even if plants have feelings — and let’s go out on a limb and say even if plants have the same exact sentience as humans (which I’m sure you’d be hard-pressed to find a scientist who would claim this) — you still harm fewer of them by eating them directly as opposed to feeding them to animals to fatten them up and then eating those animals. It’s inefficient to eat that way. Seriously, read the post THEN comment. Take care.

The Trump camp learned the animal rights activists, that if you keep parroting the same crap over and over again, AND you shame and humiliate people, eventually you will get some followers. It is no wonder that the industrial right so easily divides us from making any real constructive change…because in the vegan mind there is zero compromise, just like the anti-abortionist. What makes me angry is that all progressives and liberals get lumped in with vegans and then compared to Hitler, because to pressure the world into doing what you want to do is on par with totalitarianism. And it keeps us from saving the planet from ourselves. On “the science”…you cannot say “”the science” proves my point”, because there is no science on the impacts a 100% vegan population would have on our planet. It is an untried experiment. Given that agriculture is one of the most destructive forces on the planet (those poor cows get all the blame for their farts), AND it destroys land that could support hosts of animals, plants, AND fungi, approaching this on a “humane” or moral level just simply does not fly with me. Self-righteousness is truly the unpardonable sin.
