Oh boy, why are you arguing about things that you clearly don't understand? "Veganism is a philosophy and way of living which seeks to exclude—as far as is possible and practicable—all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, animals for food, clothing or any other purpose." Veganism doesn't care about climate. People don't go vegan to save climate. Some adopt a plant-based diet though, but these are separate bubbles that just barely intersect.
Got it, so you are emotionally defining veganism in such a way that you aren't actually vegan if you don't get there for emotional reasons.
If that's your definition of veganism then of course nobody can get there with reason. You've created a tautology with your emotion filled definition.
For the record, veganism is defined by MW as
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/vegan
That was the definition I was operating under. Sorry I didn't Intuit your arbitrary definition you pulled from "eat meat.com" or whatever you got it.
They got that definition from The Vegan Society, the leading charity/group representing the movement.
Ah yes, merriam webster, the most informed and accurate source on the subject of veganism lol. The fact that you don't know where my definition comes from tells everything one needs to know about your involvement in the community 🤷♂️
Here's a quote from the site you cherry picked
Gee, looks like the vegan society also recognizes some people become vegan because of climate change... Or maybe you are going to redefine more terms so you can win your argument.
Dude, what are you on about. Plenty of vegans I know go vegan because it's better for the environment. That's a big part of why I'm vegetarian. Why make it such an "us and them" dilemma? They're just people, even if you don't ascribe to their choices. It seems like you're more concerned about being right than being correct.
I'm sorry, but you're unbelievably stupid.
Weird personal attack there. Care to explain?
Ad hominem: check.
Perhaps don't cry about rationality if all you have in your brain is logical fallacies.
I've never seen this website before but it's absolutely hilarious to point out the other person's logical fallacy like that lol.
Or maybe you are pulling a definition not commonly accepted by the community or English speakers. No, that can't be right, you are obviously smarter than I am. After all, you are a rational person that'd never engage in strawman attacks.
