Pretty sure unless they are hyper online weirdos they are completely unaware of how angry you are at them. They are like having business dinners and eating steaks and burgers and shit and have kids probably. They probably watch sports.
No yall are. Stop projecting. I’m just trying to let you know your perspective is being skewed by being hyper online.
Nope. Wrong. I care. I also think steak tastes good. Those are not mutually exclusive positions actually.
It sounds more like you are trying to convince yourself that steak does not taste good and anyone who says it does must be lying so that you don’t get tempted by it. Whatever you need to do for yourself is fine, but to publicly say you think such obviously false things just makes your arguments (which i agree with, i used to be vegan for years) look worse.
But anyway, not really worth continuing this conversation if you can’t see how it looks like you are just trying to convince yourself that beef tastes bad by saying that there is no way anyone actually thinks it tastes good and that they are just eating it to virtue signal anti-wokeness. People ate meat before wokeness was a thing, people around the world east it because they like it and it tastes good to most people. Start there.
Yup. That’s why I’m about to log off.
nah I just scrolled down the thread and replied to people who annoyed me
god you guys turn into redditors when you get poked about this bullshit
I was being an asshole for no reason trying to say not to be an asshole, so yeah sorry
Rolling coal is being an asshole on purpose, and i would bet the same percentage of idiots do that as think they are owning the libs by eating steak every day. Less than 1%. The stat is about the 12% who eat most of the beef, most of those people are not trying to do anything performative or political.
The internet is skewing your understanding of the prevalence of these things, and it’s embarrassing to see people on here create straw men arguments about all the beef eating being performative, thinking they’re making a great dunk when they’re just totally wrong.
Talk about it all you want. But creating straw men to get mad about is pretty embarrassing, that’s all.
I really don't know many other ways to go in, if I got strong enough pushback in a way that made sense i would have stopped. My pride doesn't exist and I will give ground on any belief if it seems logical and humanistic.
true
im going to need to think about this a little, thanks for your patience.
