  • Explain in detail; don’t just say it like it’s obvious and a “no shit” kind of take.

    Your entire argument is based on the assumption that your morals are the “correct morals” while everyone else who doesn’t align with you is incorrect. That’s a textbook definition of this fallacy.

    You are disingenuously undermining what veganism is by phrasing it as a trivial dietary choice.

    That’s exactly what it is. Disagree? Explain in detail; don’t just say it like it’s obvious and a “no shit” kind of take.

    There is no reason why veganism, as a subject, should get an automatic quick dismissal via accusations of a “superiority complex” than any other subject.

    Where has that happened here? I challenge you to quote the comment stating as much. Seems like you’re strawmanning here.

    I said “veganism isn’t about me.”

    you are just repeating the same exact issue of ad hominem and a thought-terminating cliché by calling vegans “self-righteous” and disingenuously strawmanning them as people who just want to circlejerk about the “superiority of their choices”

    “Veganism isn’t about me, but if you criticize me personally, you’re criticizing veganism!”

    This is hilariously illogical. It reads like someone whose brain is short circuiting from all the cognitive dissonance.









  • My cynical view is that this is a campaign promise that even if passed, won’t lead to anything of benefit for the average citizen. My solidly blue state has price gouging laws and yet businesses were permitted to price gouge water, charging as much as $60 for a 12 pack of bottles, when we had a toxic algae bloom in our water supply and couldn’t drink it a few years ago. Hundreds of complaints were filed and the governor went on the news said they couldn’t substantiate any of it, even with photo evidence, and none of the companies were punished or at most were sent a letter to “knock it off” even though residents were still having to pay these insane prices if they weren’t able to drive hours away to find normally priced bottled water.

    I think if we had an actual left-wing party, I’d have a different view, but instead, we have right-wing and diet-right-wing
