This is certainly a hill…
I wandered into a /c/vegancirclejerk post in my feed yesterday https://lemmy.world/post/15870764 That was fun and informative, in a way.
They really, really don’t like you pointing out that they could just eat what they want and nobody would care, they just have to make it their public identity because they get off on being oppressed.
Funniest bit is one of the mods got fussy and deleted all my comments and banned me- then the other mod removed them as mod. Hard to maintain solidarity in a group when its built entirely on the need to be oppressed. Eventually your own team becomes your oppressor.
Found the vegan.
Yeah. First clue was that the images were reversed

You can shitpost about anything, but not their sacred right to eat industrial meat.
Good job op.
What I’ve been finding so far about lemmy is that if I post something vegan that puts all the blame on corporations, the upvotes come rolling in. But anything else is either closer to a 1:1 ratio, or downvote abyss.
Those upvotes must really put the dopamine in your brain. Considering they’re worthless on the fediverse
lol this “us vs them” mentality is what keeps the meat industry strong. If Vegan’s weren’t insufferable the entire meat industry would’ve died in ‘07.
Im pretty sure you yourself know how untrue that is. People who eat meat do so mainly out of habit. Habits get engraved in your personality in a way that your ego will defend them to the death. If anyone or anything tries to change your habits, your ego makes it feel like theyre trying to kill you.
Its not really their fault, they have all the necessary information right in front of their eyes but cant overcome the habit hurdle. This is basic human behavior and we shouldnt drive people into corners based on their weaknesses.
Im sure it would buddy.
