    …And?

    Do you want to make it important to me, if I’m not currently motivated to make it important to myself? If you do want to make it important to me, then how are you going to do it? Do you think that calling me the worst slurs that you can come up with is going to make me desire to change, or do you think that it’s going to make me angry and resentful towards you and the cause that you’re trying to champion? What do you think would be the most effective way to change my opinion of vaganism and of vegans, and make me desire to be a vegan?

    Allow me to suggest a book that I think you might find to be useful. I’m going to assume that you have good intentions, and that you want to change the world in a way that you believe would be positive. That’s great! This might help you to find a more effective way to do it, so you can reach more people. Are you familiar with concepts of street epistemology? Many of the same concepts apply when you’re trying to persuade people.

    If you don’t have any desire to make veganism important to other people, why not?

      omg you’re so fucking cringe. You’re so outraged that people you think are wrong and dumb do-gooders wasting time caring about mere things are being rude to you. When all you’ve done is come into a joke community and told them:

      • they’re wrong and dumb
      • you have no intention of ever aligning with them
      • you love killing animals and see no problem with it
      • they’re doing it wrong

      that you’re writing pages about how wrong and dumb we are and don’t we know how to be less wrong and dumb?

      “the worst slurs” just go fuck yourself with a rusty chainsaw you self important, society-ruining, self-centred, flint-hearted, black-souled, moron. The world does not cater to you, you are not important.

        To be clear, are you saying that you don’t care if anyone else become vegan?

          I’m saying that you are one of the people most hostile to veganism and will never be convinced so fawning over you is stupid.

          If you wanted vegans to succeed and build a world without cages you would be vegan. you don’t, you want us to fail. you don’t want to be told what you’re doing is wrong and you most certainly don’t want to be forced to avoid animal products by law so… why would anyone spend any time on you?

            Do you think that if vegans wanted vegans to succeed they would do more outreach to people that aren’t vegans? Or do you think that everyone should convert on their own?

            Let me put it this way: if every single person that you knew that, for instance, played Warhammer 40K was verbally abusive to anyone that didn’t play Warhammer 40K, and gaming stores threw people out that were just curious, how interested would you be in playing Warhammer? How would you feel about the players? Would you have a positive or negative impression of the game, regardless of the merits of the game?

            When you are verbally abusive to someone that you perceive to be your enemy, do you think that’s going to turn any other people that are watching you towards your ideology?
