If your lack of tact prevents people from listening to you then fucking YES ABSOLUTELY
Look, most people aren’t buying meat to fantasize about the murder of animals like youre implying. The fact you’re saying that, weither you intended to or not, is putting the people you’re trying to convince on the other side of an us vs them. That’s not productive and youre just fucking annoying.
Most people buy meat because it’s cheap. Its cheaper than plants because the meat industry is subsidized by the government. Its subsidized by the government because it’s the easiest way to get reasonably balanced nutrition to the most amount of people.
If you really want less people eating meat, target those aspects.Not the end user trying to feed their family.
If you want real change, and aren’t just trying to pick fights on the internet, wouldn’t you rather be affective instead of just fucking annoying everyone, where it’s always the wrong time, where youre downvoted everywhere outside of your life minded communities?
Seriously it’s a different fight but read up on Daryl Davis. He’s a black guy who gets people to leave the KKK. Do you think him picking fights with them would help? Trying to argue how stupid and hateful it is for them to hate black people? Pinning them in an us vs them?
He gets them to leave by befriending them. Showing them theres another way WITHOUT FORCING THEIR HAND OR CONVINCING THEM THEYRE SHITE FOR THE WAY THEY WERE RAISED. that’s literally the least productive thing you can be doing.
It’s incredibly easy to get reasonably balanced nutrition with a plant based diet, eat varied and take B12, done.
I’m not trying to pick fights, I’m just informing people, you picking a fight with me isn’t my fault.
Dude you know damn well that even if I go “uwu, please consider not eating meat once a week :3” I’d still get destroyed, it’s not about tone, people just don’t like hearing it, which, again, isn’t a good reason to stop talking about it.
I’m not forcing anything on anyone or convincing people they are shit, my original comment just reminded people that the animals they ate also are living beings.
You’re not intending to say people buy meat to be cruel. You absolutely definitely said it.
Look fried, I have no skin in this fight. I was trying to help you but if I’m just wasting my breath I’ll move on.
People aren’t dismissing you because you’re talking about veganism. They’re dismissing you because you’re an ineffective communicator. I’m not discussing that with you I’m trying to help you sway more people to your cause. Its not my cause so I don’t personally give a fuck.
If you feel getting nutrition through plant based meals is easy, good. Focus on that. Most people don’t, that’s an easier point to sway people than convincing them the way they and their parent and their grandparents and their parents grandparents were cruel heartless humans torturing animals for fun. The video you started this conversation in is about a Nazi torturing an animal for fun. You equated that to everyone eating meat. Now I’m against you. You aren’t going to convince me to join your cause that way.
I'm not trying to pick fights, I'm just informing people, you picking a fight with me isn't my fault.
In a way that makes you in the in group and people outside of it against you.
Dude you know damn well that even if I go "uwu, please consider not eating meat once a week :3"
Because that’s also ineffective communication. Convince people why they’d want to be vegan, not why you want them to be vegan.
If you feel its cheaper to eat a plant based diet, good. Focus on that. Most people don’t. I definitely don’t. How much is a gallon of plant based milk? How much is cow milk? I’m not genuinely asking you cow milk is significantly cheaper. at least in my area you might be in fucking Albania or something im not familiar with. I doubt it. Its a significantly harder life to be vegan and poor.
Either way I feel my effort is falling on deaf ears so l8r sk8er I got better shit to do.

I’m not implying or saying that people buy meat because they want to be cruel, but that doesn’t change the fact that it is cruel.
A plant based diet should be cheaper for most people, vegetables, rice and beans aren’t expensive, meat is.
