It's refreshing to read comments like yours. As lefty as Lemmy tends to be, people still mysteriously engage in vegan bashing. Like, people are concerned about climate change but simultaneously make fun of people for not eating meat, the leading cause of CO2 emissions?
If you're from the USA: https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissions/sources-greenhouse-gas-emissions
The main contributors to emissions are industrial, residential, commercial, and transportation. Agriculture comes after that, of which meat forms a proportion.
That makes it alright i guess.
I am going to call this out, because I see this a lot, and I find it rather unpleasant. An assertion is made, such as "what you've said is incorrect, and here is why." The assertion cannot be challenged with logic, and so it is is instead challenged emotionally, such as with the statement "that makes it alright, I guess."
Did I say that makes it alright?
Well I still eat meat too, but yea vegan bashing is pretty cringe I think. What kind of asshole makes fun of someone taking on personal sacrifices for a cause they believe in?
... like half of my damn country 😑
