    people who think others are overreacting aren’t going to care without proof.

    These people will never be satisfied, regardless of however, much proof and evidence you provide. It’s a trolling tactic known as Sealioning. Endless demands for proof while acknowledging none of them, regardless of how undeniable. It’s a delayed tactic to avoid ever having to admit that they were wrong or at fault, betting that you will eventually give up first.

    This is like a factory farm where all the animals are kept in horrible conditions. You cannot make a vegan out of “they are treated bad” but you can if you show them.

    You’re not gonna convince anyone with bad faith arguments based on niche morality. If you’re gonna cite the problem being that the farm is a “factory farm”, then the alternative is to, obviously, make it a humane farm. But, as a vegan, your agenda is too clearly shame people for eating meat altogether. That makes your criticism a factory farming, disingenuous, since the obvious alternative, human farming, isn’t didn’t even an option for you. Your problem isn’t with factory farming, your problem is with the fact that people eat meat in the first place. And you’re never gonna win an ideological war with an extremely dubious moral argument.

    I feel you are just making excuses for weak people who can do something but choose not to.

    And I think you’re being hypocritical of others, considering the context of your judgments when measured against your own actions, attempting to make/enact social change because you realize the hypocrisy and nonsensical position of your own argument.

      If you’re gonna cite the problem being that the farm is a “factory farm”, then the alternative is to, obviously, make it a humane farm.

      Even with knowledge of factory farms, the general public (non-vegan) don’t seriously seem to be pushing back and pushing for a change in farming.

      Regardless of what vegans’ end goal is, spreading awareness doesn’t seem to be getting people to go for more modest changes either.

        Perhaps, but you’re much more likely to get people to undertake modest to change than radical change.

          That’s my point though. They aren’t doing a modest change when presented with information regarding factory farms. Because that modest change would come at an increased (financial) cost.

            No, your point is that you’re mad that the entire world hasn’t gone vegan, and you’re venting your frustration here. Problem with that is, that isn’t gonna get anyone to change their habits either. It’s just going to cement the stereotype of the whiny, bitchy, pretentious, condescending vegan that has been so well earned by every vegan on this planet.

            If everybody hates what you are, nobody’s going to become what you are. Be the change you want to see in the world. Stop being such a whiny, bitchy, condescending, pretentious jerk about telling everyone what they should be doing with their lives. You have no right to do that, and more people than not will do the exact opposite just to show you up.

            People hate to be lectured. And that’s all that vegans know how to do.

              Huh, I think you’re responding to the wrong person here. This comment clearly seems intended for @womjunru@lemmy.cafe , with whom you’ve been in a spirited debate with.

              I’m not getting combative or lecturing anyone here.

                I’ve explained pretty clearly why what you think does not reflect reality. Including your inability to even conceive that criticism may be pointed towards you.

                That is, yet, another problem with your position. You believe it to be infallible. Clearly, you are wrong.

                  You are responding to the wrong person. You will not respond to me any further. Thanks in advance for your compliance.

                    Wrong again!

                    Thank you for proving my point. Your fanaticism has blinded you. Psychologist would call this “deflection”.

        Aw… Little baby found an opinion on the Internet he didn’t like, and all he can do is hurl childish insults.

        You’re not gonna convince anyone of anything when all you can do is throw a tantrum when you hear something you don’t like.
