But then I remember I didn’t take their children away, hook them up to a machine to extract food from them, or kill them. And that makes me feel like making fun of carnists is not so bad.

    And this moral high horse logic is exactly why vegans get the reputation they do.

      Abolitionists had a similar reputation in the 1700s and early 1800s - slavery in the US couldn’t be abolished, it was crazy to call for a total ban, reasonable people could compromise, etc. And we all know how that ended.

      Change starts with people who refuse to compromise their morals, no matter the social or legal consequences.

      Veganism needs proud vegans.
