If a topic keeps coming up no matter how much you try to censor it, consider that it’s not going away. Some changes are long overdue.

    So you’re saying carnists are the baby killers in this metaphor? Yeah, I’m not sure you’re making a good point about catching flies with honey while saying the flies/baby killers have their heads so far up their asses and are so stupid that they have to be tricked into doing the right thing.

      Well that answers that, doesn’t it.

      Then there’s your answer. Your memes get deleted and your comments get down voted because you aren’t trying to do any good, you’re just trying to flaunt how Right and morally superior you are.

          Oops, missed the name, my fault. It sounded like MilitantVegan responding, so I didn’t check.

          But if you think it’s contrary to my point, you’re missing my point. The point is, it doesn’t matter how right you are if you end up making no change because you’re an asshole about it.

          To be clear, yes, in this situation history may look back on meat eaters as we do the doctors that wouldn’t wash their hands. That’s perfectly possible. But MilitantVegan (and every other vegan that tries to confront and shame people into being vegan) is not helping the situation, they’re just patting themselves on the back for being right. That doctor didn’t do much to save lives, either, regardless how right he was about it.
