Lol my answer is directly related to my answer to last weeks questions
I guess cutting out meat was: I was chilling with some animals and I was like, why the fuck would I eat a living creature??? That's deranged???
And then I got bullied IRL by vegans and realized I was turning a blind eye to violence I didn't see directly. The cognitive dissonance lifted. Not commodifying/enslaving animals came with that. I didn't really think about how this "food" came to be and once I let myself understand I simply could not do it anymore.
It is funny because ultimately vegan bullying from vegan circlejerk pushed me from being an on the fence plant based person to hard core vegan lol. I guess some bullying works!
if one can tone down their ego for a lil bit and not immediately get defensive it's a pretty nifty tactic.
I said bullying but it's not really bullying. It's getting called out on bullshit and refusing to associate with/pretend non vegans are moral people.
