just got stuff from veganism@world and veganism@slrpnk on my feed and theyre just based on the absolute HATE of any “meat-eaters”

do they just need an excuse to hate people or do they actually wanna contribute something to humanity?

    Because they are a religion, doing religious things. Their main goal isn’t to stop harm to animals, but rather, to gain a sense of self worth by taking an unassailable moral position.

    Hence, the people who make them angriest aren’t the people who hate them - but the people who ignore them.

      i never got the “it’s a religion” dunk

      like, it’s a system of ethics. is this like the weird inverse of religious people saying you can’t have morals without religion? atheists (presumably) saying you have to be a religion to have morals? surely you don’t actually think this in any other context
