An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.
Rules and miscellaneous:
- We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
- No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
- Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
- Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
- All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

When I am out walking around in public, I don't use any willpower or discipline not to steal someone's phone. To not kick a child who gets in my way. To not murder someone whose car I want. Likewise, it doesn't take any willpower or discipline whatsoever to not be cruel and violent to vulnerable individuals like cows, pigs, and chickens. You are not experiencing a failure of discipline but rather a failure of empathy. You are not engaging your empathy, and you are not recognizing the moral existence of the individuals you are murdering. Because if you were, YOU WOULDN'T DO IT, and you certainly wouldn't fucking moan about how hard it is not to fucking murder to a bunch of vegans.
Your comments are so misdirected. We don't do it for you. We genuinely don't care what you think. If we cared what people thought, we probably wouldn't have gone vegan in the first place. When you come here and tell us how much you support us, you're really just using us for the purpose of moral self-licensing. It feels gross.
I admitted it's evil and said I feel pathetic. I said I want to listen. And yet, here you are, showing nothing but vitriol. You're not the empathetic person you think you are if this is how you respond to someone willing to learn.
Since you said you dont care what others think, heres what I think: Fuck you, loser. Vegans are awesome, but you're a disgrace for how you talk to people. You're doing the right thing by not eating animals, but you're clearly a shitty, bitter person if this is how you talk to people.
