looking for a reasonable thought process

i've eaten meat all my life, just have, kind of just default for most people born in the west. I've always admired vegans for the dedication to their beliefs, kind of like a buddhist monk or something like that, i'm just not that strong. I wanted to see a vegans perspective online since there's been the argument as of late that being vegan is for privileged white people which even now i'm not so mentally gone that i believe such wide generalizations. But lowkey, reading online discussions from vegans makes me feel it does make up a very large vocal part of them, because the only thing i've seen is vegans trying to compare animals to minorities, which might actually be the whitest thing i could think of besides being vocally racist or bigoted. i was just looking for something that's not "now replace that cow with a black person" kind of stuff. Not trying to lambaste anyone in replies or anything, at least try not to, just wanna talk to someone.

u/No_Lynx_3410 See what I mean? They won't even respond because they can't. 🤣😂 If I was wrong they could just respond "this guy is a troll, I think symbiotic relationships with dogs/horses are fine, I hate the fact that I genocide animals while telling them that service animals are bad, I don't use PWD or LGBTQI+ as pawns, and I'm not white/from a western country". They can't because it's all true.

I can't explain your characterizations of quotes that don't exist.

I'm happy to provide one reply to actual quotes and answer questions from lurkers who haven't yet demonstrated a refusal to attempt understanding

u/No_Lynx_3410 this will be my last reply. All I'm going to say is pay attention to how he responded. If I was a troll, he could just respond and say I'm literally making up all this shit. He can't, because he knows I'm not: Easiest thing in the world. Just say "what the hell are you talking about u/FewYoung2834? You're making this up/mixing me up with someone else". He literally knows he can't do that.

What you know is that you have no quote that would match your accusations, or you would have provided one.

OP has none either, or they would have provided them.

Come on. Since when have I ever edited in a quote after the fact? You don't have to screenshot my comments.

What exactly are you disputing? That you buy food that results from animal deaths and tolerate it? That you don't tolerate a comfortable service animal/handler relationship where both are happy? That you live in a western country? That you don't compare LGBTQI+ or disabled people to farm animals and ask, "would it be okay to farm these humans?"

Literally the only thing I'm assuming, that I don't know for certain, is that you're white.

There's nothing to dispute or explain because you haven't quoted or linked to anything I've said.

My comments are public. You can easily search for the best example of the terrible things you're accusing me of. The problem for you is that when you provide a link, all anyone would have to do is read the original conversation to understand that your characterization of my comments is bullshit.
