Vegans do have the moral high ground simply by not murdering animals for food.

There is absolutely no reason to take your feelings of persecution seriously, if you're locked in on the idea that you're morally superior to anyone who isn't a vegan. Identical vibes to an Evangelical Christian that ends arguements that go nowhere with I'll pray for you.

Your attitude expressed here is the exact reason for that which you complain about.

The fediverse is such an interesting new human experiment (and I'm just saying this to you specifically since I don't expect this comment to make it past the moderators either). I was going in expecting reddit except not morally bankrupt, yet what you find are numerous bubbles that their respective communities use to shield themselves from whatever it is that they (for whatever arguably rationalizable reason) cannot accept to penetrate the safe space.

I truly feel for the emotions OP experiences and has outlined. I was just trying to level with them from an outside perspective and it is truly sad that there seems to be absolutely no platform left on the internet (if there ever was one) where one can be guaranteed to find community that puts the commune and the upkeep of its unity before any agenda or collective emotional guidance.

Welcome

Welcome to c/vegan@lemmy.world. Broadly, this community is a place to discuss veganism. Discussion on intersectional topics related to the animal rights movement are also encouraged.

What is Veganism?

'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 ...'

— abridged definition from The Vegan Society
