*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)

You’re acting EXACTLY like an anti choice person asking me if I think murder is wrong because I believe in a woman’s right to choose 🤦
Not necessarily and not necessarily not, since they’re in no way related.
No. Their veganism is actively selected by them based on their subjective beliefs about animals being basically human.
My lack of veganism is not based in ideology.
I don’t eat grains based on the belief that insects are worth less than other animals. I eat grains to be sated, for their nutritional value, and for their taste.
Exactly the same reason why I sometimes eat meat.
Or maybe a general opposition to violence, or a concern for the ecological impact of domestic animals, or a fear that it could cause the next pandemic.
This is a weak argument. Based on your abortion example, I’m guessing you are from the US or southern Europe. So, you might know of the Confederate States of America and/or Fascist Iberia / Italy. In those places, were there not people who did not consciously support slavery / fascism, but went along with it because they ‘did not have an ideology’? How would you judge them?
Further, on your not having an ideology, do you support the eating of humans? Monkeys? Cats? Dogs? Which animals are haram to you, and which ones are halal?
Ok, that’s it. You have officially crossed the line from a zealot spewing increasingly false equivalences to saying that everyone who doesn’t agree with you is equivalent to slave owners and fascists.
I’m done indulging your self-righteous hallucinations. Have the day you deserve.
PS: No, I’m not from the US or southern Europe. I chose the abortion example because of complete topical symmetry, not because it’s a hot topic here in Denmark. It hasn’t been since the 1970s.
I’m not vegan, although I agree with most of their arguments, so I can’t be self-righteous about it.
Since English is not your first language, I apologise if my wording was confusing. My point was that accepting whatever is seen as normal, or refusing to make a choice, is itself an action, one that says that you agree with your society’s ideology.
I said have the day you deserve. I’m done with your Dunning Kruger poster boy nonsense.
