Obviously some of the more terminally online attempts to guilt trip people do not work. I wonder is there even a point to encourage others? Most people won’t change their mind without making their own decision. I think I try to live by example, and being there when people have questions. Being there when people want to slowly eat less meat I think is very helpful. Some online vegans especially on lemmy act like it’s all or nothing, well then these people will never even try eating less animal products.
Thoughts?
I don’t agree with but do understand the all or nothing view point. It is akin to a religious belief. Eating meat requires the creation of suffering. People who eat meat create suffering for personal pleasure when there are alternatives that don’t. That is a morally wrong decision and being slightly less wrong is still wrong.
It treats the concept of harm reduction as completely insufficient.
