People want to be *proven right* when they do things out of principle, they engage in a certain degree of magical thinking You leave your door unlocked and some primitive part of your brain thinks that by doing so, you will inspire people to be good and not break into your house

If you can't sit through this video of how a slaughterhouse works, then fucking stop eating meat If you think becoming "desensitized" by watching this video until the blood and guts no longer bother you is making you a worse person, then fucking stop eating meat

It's really not, at all, an unreasonable ask As clownish as PETA et al can be, the overwhelmingly vicious negativity omnivores aim at vegans is because a lot of people really do feel "not having to think about stuff" is a right (and know it's not a justifiable one)

ohhey it's why i stopped eating red meat at all! i'm still a hypocrite about chickens - I could kill them but I sure as hell couldn't factory farm them - but I can live with being somewhat of a hypocrite for logistical reasons iff I'm honest w/ myself about being one lol

Meanwhile, like, we’ve been over why I eat more red meat when I’m depressed (the transparency of the supply chain meaning this is in a semi-concrete way a social consensus that my life matters more than other things is palpable in a way, like, rice or even my inhaler isn’t) womp
