I know it's a cliché, but say this on Reddit and you'll be downvoted into oblivion. Tried it many times. Criticize meat and seemingly reasonable people suddenly start making the same circular arguments they usually mock.

People consider themselves good people and don't like thinking about the consequences of their actions.

Same happens when you point out that children lose their limbs for our smartphones. People aren't going to stop using their smartphones, aren't going to consider themselves bad people, and so will rationalize however they can.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
