ah yes the weekly ragebait post to ban people you disagree with when yall are bored
in all seriousness is there any capacity to critique veganism or at least some communists approach to it that is okay? I'm on board with it being an end goal and a arguable part of the intersectional movement, but at what point are some questions seen as hostile.
You kind of just need to chill out. You can't control how people eat, and the more aggressive you are about demanding it, the less they'll listen anyway. You are experiencing acute upset by something that is probably not going to significantly change in your lifetime. I'm not saying that it isn't worth doing anything, but I am saying that you should try to find a way to compartmentalize your feelings. This will make things easier on you, and it will make you more approachable as a vegan. When someone wants to argue with you about it, respond with why you are vegan, rather than why they/everyone should be vegan.
I've been vegan for 24 years, and I've seen a lot of people go through a "vegan phase". A common characteristic I've noted among those who didn't last was anger. It isn't a sustainable emotion.
Anyway, I'm sorry if this offends you or someone else reading this, but it's the best advice I can give on how to reconcile your veganism with the world around you.
