    There is no positive motivation to move people away from meat. Health maybe? Shame and forcing self-reflection is one of the few effective tools.

    Your last paragraph is just rubbish. That’s not what I was calling pathetic.

      Did…did you just admit that you people don’t actually believe your own propaganda about why going vegan is better?

      Also, pretty objectively shame doesn’t actually do anything, lecturing at people about why they’re wrong doesn’t convince them of anything, at best they just write you off as that ass who’s lecturing at them, more often they take it as a fight signal and shut down to you completely.

        Key word there is motivation. I know its 10 letters long so I can explain it if I have to.

          Yeah like how you’re pretty clearly motivated to suck at actually spreading the message because then you get to keep your feelings of moral superiority all to yourself.

            Look, you’re here to fight not be informed. It’s really obvious and I don’t care what you think or say.
