I think #2 and #4 are the worst offenders on this list.

I personally don't eat veal or wagyu because I think it's pretty fucked up

As for #4, we ended up getting a global pandemic from a wet foods (read: raw/fresh meat) market in Wuhan

On #8, the claim is more complex than I can cover or get into in a single post, but for reductionistic reasons, let's assume it's logically true

I know admitting being a carnivore in a vegan sub is a downvote magnet, but /vegan/ seems to be a default community on Lemmy, so it ends up on the front page.

I'm reminded of the stories of the "blindfolded angels", e.g: Mercy and Justice both covering their eyes, to be able to judge innocence impartially.

I think, if said angels were to remove their blindfolds and observe what damage humanity has wrought upon creation, they'd destroy **all** of us -- vegan, vegetarian and carnivore alike; we'd all drown or burn together. I don't think degrees of guilt would save us in those circumstances.

"We all suck" isn't solving any problems
