I’m not implying or saying that people buy meat because they want to be cruel, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is cruel.
A plant based diet should be cheaper for most people, vegetables, rice and beans aren’t expensive, meat is.

It’s incredibly easy to get reasonably balanced nutrition with a plant based diet, eat varied and take B12, done.
I’m not trying to pick fights, I’m just informing people, you picking a fight with me isn’t my fault.
Dude you know damn well that even if I go “uwu, please consider not eating meat once a week :3” I’d still get destroyed, it’s not about tone, people just don’t like hearing it, which, again, isn’t a good reason to stop talking about it.
I’m not forcing anything on anyone or convincing people they are shit, my original comment just reminded people that the animals they ate also are living beings.
You’re not intending to say people buy meat to be cruel. You absolutely definitely said it.
Look fried, I have no skin in this fight. I was trying to help you but if I’m just wasting my breath I’ll move on.
People aren’t dismissing you because you’re talking about veganism. They’re dismissing you because you’re an ineffective communicator. I’m not discussing that with you I’m trying to help you sway more people to your cause. Its not my cause so I don’t personally give a fuck.
If you feel getting nutrition through plant based meals is easy, good. Focus on that. Most people don’t, that’s an easier point to sway people than convincing them the way they and their parent and their grandparents and their parents grandparents were cruel heartless humans torturing animals for fun. The video you started this conversation in is about a Nazi torturing an animal for fun. You equated that to everyone eating meat. Now I’m against you. You aren’t going to convince me to join your cause that way.
In a way that makes you in the in group and people outside of it against you.
Because that’s also ineffective communication. Convince people why they’d want to be vegan, not why you want them to be vegan.
If you feel its cheaper to eat a plant based diet, good. Focus on that. Most people don’t. I definitely don’t. How much is a gallon of plant based milk? How much is cow milk? I’m not genuinely asking you cow milk is significantly cheaper. at least in my area you might be in fucking Albania or something im not familiar with. I doubt it. Its a significantly harder life to be vegan and poor.
Either way I feel my effort is falling on deaf ears so l8r sk8er I got better shit to do.
