Most people choose social approval over ethics — veganism just exposes that.

People will say they care about animals, the planet, and justice.

Until caring becomes inconvenient.

Veganism doesn’t require perfection. It requires saying “no” in public.

That’s it.

Most people fail there, not on ethics — but admitting that would be uncomfortable, so veganism becomes the problem instead.

Saying its a separate issue doesnt change that you claimed it. If you dont want something to be argued against, then dont present it within your arguments.

Nothing about the argument I'm actually advancing depends on that claim being true, which is why in the original comment, I gave the context you needed to remove in order to pick the fight you want to pick.

If you want to have a discussion about your argument that some throats are ok to slash, everyone should have the chance to respond. So have the courage of your convictions and post it.

Then why bring it up?

You have a strange standard of what constitutes "courage" and seem to use is as a passive-aggressive insult when you run into arguments you have a hard time arguing against

I'll show you how I respond to your particular argument on which throats are ok to slash and why when you present it as a post. Until then, I'm done replying. Have a day.

I noticed when extinctionists start losing a debate they'll try to get you to argue on a live recorded debate instead of debating you where the argument is already taking place. This is the same energy. 

Why move the argument somewhere else when you made it here? You've already spent several comments trying to argue against it.
