Your justification for carnism is a whataboutism with private jets and billionaires? That's not a coherent argument. It only grazes the issue of global warming and completely ignores the cruelty of factory farming. (which is also a feature of having billionaires run everything). You're implying that you are entitled to dominate animals because billionaires dominate society.
The hate for vegans is irrational. It happens because meat eaters know that they're wrong and imagine that the existence of vegans is a judgment on themselves.
I'm not vegan, or even vegetarian. I just acknowledge the argument for carnism was lost a long time ago. And I'm willing to acknowledge that I often priorities selfish interest over what I know is right. (which is also obvious to everyone with a pinch of self-awareness and a molecule of honesty.)
Well said.
