IRL, whenever I deem it fit to talk about veganism - its perks vs omni diet, environmental impact, etc. - I get a little tense but usually follow through to voice my opinions and challenge other people’s views. I feel good about it because it’s only to the benefit of animals if even a little seed of doubt is seeded into omni minds.
On Lemmy, I feel like there are a lot of vegans around but omnis are more prevalent. I realise that I might be “picking fights” in that I bring up veganism when the subject does not exactly “demand it”, if that makes sense, but I feel like it’s such a huge injustice for animals that being a little uncomfortable for the sake of animals is nothing, really.
In text, I can formulate my thoughts and make better arguments, I feel like, but so do most people on here, so I back off rather quickly. In the end, I wonder if it’s even worth mentioning at all?
Do you guys do that on here? I just can’t not say something. Maybe it’s just wasted breath and key strokes, though. I don’t know. Ty
I bait sometimes because I like the downvotes. I prefer to debate in chat rooms.
The thing about such debates is either they’re extremely prepared and want to talk about antinutrients like we shouldn’t eat any plants or they’re not prepared at all and they completely miss points.
Sometime between digg and reddit I debated someone about sentience and they didn’t believe cows have sentience. So I linked the cow that released their self and their friend from a feed lock. That was the last dude that admitted they’re wrong.
