    You’re not the animals.

    I literally wrote that this isn’t about me/humans, so yes, obviously.

    There are many groups that are suffering and that I’m not part of, and I still care about what’s happening to them and want the suffering to end. It seems like most lemmy users share that sentiment when it comes to oppressed humans, so I really don’t get what’s so hard to understand about that when I extend it to animals.

    You might have the opinion that factory farming isn’t a social justice issue, fine. Me having a different opinion doesn’t negatively affect you in any way. Why are you so pissed at me just because I see it differently?

      You jumped in on a conversation where a person compared veganism as if it’s a persecution comparable to the LBGTQ.

      Veganism is A diet choice. That’s all it is. That is all you’re doing here.

      This is not you living as a member of the LBGTQ.

      You are not a suffragette.

      There will be no pivoting off of it here today and play shitty white knight for the animals.
