    I wandered into a /c/vegancirclejerk post in my feed yesterday https://lemmy.world/post/15870764 That was fun and informative, in a way.

    They really, really don’t like you pointing out that they could just eat what they want and nobody would care, they just have to make it their public identity because they get off on being oppressed.

    Funniest bit is one of the mods got fussy and deleted all my comments and banned me- then the other mod removed them as mod. Hard to maintain solidarity in a group when its built entirely on the need to be oppressed. Eventually your own team becomes your oppressor.

      lol this “us vs them” mentality is what keeps the meat industry strong. If Vegan’s weren’t insufferable the entire meat industry would’ve died in ‘07.

        Im pretty sure you yourself know how untrue that is. People who eat meat do so mainly out of habit. Habits get engraved in your personality in a way that your ego will defend them to the death. If anyone or anything tries to change or question your habits, your ego interprets that as a personal attack.

        Its not really their fault, they have all the necessary information but cant overcome the habit hurdle. It depends strongly on your surroundings and how open you are to new things. It is not in our nature to question things that ‘have always worked this way’.

      What I’ve been finding so far about lemmy is that if I post something vegan that puts all the blame on corporations, the upvotes come rolling in. But anything else is either closer to a 1:1 ratio, or downvote abyss.
