    Abstaining from animal murder and torture is admirable and something I should do OTOH some internet commenters are mean about it

    I wonder why they would be mean…

        I was going to stop torturing animals, but some mean vegan said some words that hurt my feelings.

        So now I’m going to eat two burgers!

        chortle!

        That’s not the goal. They attack people because that makes them feel better. Animals? Who cares. Definitely not them.

        If your belief lives or dies because of some internet comment it won’t last anyway.

        Edit: as in, what sustains it is the actual moral implications of a non-vegan lifestyle. I was convinced to go vegan by internet comments like this.

          See here’s what’s really really funny, people over and over again say “man if the vegan people who were trying to convince me could just not be gigantic assholes about it then maybe it would be easier to join their community”

          And then you come along and are a gigantic asshole about it and prove the entire point.

          Super solid representation, 5/7, perfection.

            thing is, it’s a philosophy of empathy and compassion. you don’t really join a.commmunity. there are no V cards I’m afraid.
