    You just compared your eating preferences which are 100% a choice to someone being born homosexual and not wanting to be killed for it

    All the animals on factory farms didn’t choose to be born there and don’t want to be killed either.

    It’s not about the sensitivities of humans, but the insane suffering of animals in this system of oppression.

      You’re not the animals. You’re not even a good spokesperson for the animals.

      You don’t give a shit about the animals. You’re just a pathetic histrionic giving into your tendencies here to tank a conversation for a hit.

        You’re not the animals.

        I literally wrote that this isn’t about me/humans, so yes, obviously.

        There are many groups that are suffering and that I’m not part of, and I still care about what’s happening to them and want the suffering to end. It seems like most lemmy users share that sentiment when it comes to oppressed humans, so I really don’t get what’s so hard to understand about that when I extend it to animals.

        You might have the opinion that factory farming isn’t a social justice issue, fine. Me having a different opinion doesn’t negatively affect you in any way. Why are you so pissed at me just because I see it differently?

          You jumped in on a conversation where a person compared veganism as if it’s a persecution comparable to the LBGTQ.

          Veganism is A diet choice. That’s all it is. That is all you’re doing here.

          This is not you living as a member of the LBGTQ.

          You are not a suffragette.

          There will be no pivoting off of it here today and play shitty white knight for the animals.
