    shame works

    i know bad people use shame, they use it cus it works

    like it or not, it works

    so, hey, may as well use it for good (which, of course, everyone thinks they are, but vegans actually are correct).

    :trans-vegan:

      I understand and completely agree with every single argument for going vegan.

      And yet I have not.

      And I firmly think it’s because I haven’t been bullied hard enough into doing so.

    I hate being mean and I wish it wasn’t so effective of a tactic. But like the moment that I begrudgingly went vegan I realized that every counterargument is just obvious bullshit and it’s an extremely simple black-and-white issue and the only reason I had ever entertained the notion that it was complex was motivated reasoning to avoid changing. I can’t help but want to be nice about it and just be like, “Aww, check out this cute video of a cow that’s friends with a dog!” And like it’s so obvious watching that that killing one of those animals is just as wrong as killing the other animal. But I know that somehow the brainworms will find a way to get from point A to point B and in the process I’m probably going to end up get accused of, like, antisemitism or something, I don’t even know.

    I have nothing but respect for my less effectiveness-challenged comrades.

      :this:

      The issue isn’t complicated; it’s crystal clear, morally speaking. Even the fucking carnists know it, too - directly or subconsciously. That’s why they’re so pissed off by vegans themselves, they know they’re in the wrong and they don’t want to be reminded of it.
