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 do argue with people a lot here as the issue of ethics is very important to me.
It’s encouraging to me as the main developer Dessalines is vegan.
It honestly makes it so much easier to deal with all the anti-vegan sentiment when I see you taking a stand. I really appreciate it
Sometimes it’s hard to fight for the dream of a better world, but it is always worth it in the end.
Oh wow, I only knew that they were a tankie
