Sorry my priority are the animals instead of being palatable. The focus has to be on the oppressed and not the oppressor.

People who aren’t honest about what it means to not be vegan won’t last and in most cases won’t change. If it’s only about denying themselves so they can become a better person, like some ascetic then they will fall back into their genocidal ways. If they’re scared about what others think of them they won’t last. Vegans are the safest group of people to make fun of. I know what made me go vegan and it was people not dancing around the fact that these animals that are slaughtered on a conveyor belt had siblings, at least a mom, probably friends who loved them. That me continuing with what I was doing was monstrous. The people trying to be nice about it I could just ignore. “Agree to disagree” or whatever.

The correct take is not that vegans are good because they're vegan, Veganism is characterised by the lack of action (i. e. not murdering, not stealing etc.). The correct take is that non-vegans are evil, because non-veganism is a lifestyle characterised by murder and oppression.
