It's an all well and good philosophy, but i think it's just attempts to feel better about oneself. There's no reason you can't be satisfied with not eating meat and at least feel like you're doing your part, but NOO the dogma must be pushed onto everyone else.
The truth is a lot of meat eaters simply don't care about farm animal suffering, so arguments don't even matter because if every single argument from a meat eater were to be undeniably refuted, many would still not be converts. So many of these vegans want to go the communist route and revolt. Does this seem like a healthy philosophy to you?
It would start making sense to you, if you'd see the analogy in racism et al (unless of course you are one, then it won't). An animal-rights-activist-vegan sees it that way and hence has a hard time to "shut up" about it. Like you would when you'd enter some nazi-meeting. Can't just sit there, doing nothing, and thus invoking the feeling you're part of it.
It's not vegans per se, it's those that are just vegans as a direcr consequence, not those that follow a dietary decision.
Your analogy makes sense
That means a lot, coming from the grammar-police 😁
Muh communism
