Well, that’s unfortunate. I definitely don’t want to be counted among that group.
I still stand by everything I said. Some people taking an idea too far doesn’t stop the idea itself having merit in moderation. You and everyone like you are placing yourself on the same pedestal above all other beings that the Abrahamic god placed his creations on. The pedestal is certainly decorated a bit better than when Descartes climbed it centuries ago, but it’s still the same pedestal. Y’all will never achieve the egalitarianism you preach until you realize that; you’re just fooling yourselves that the pedestal of “moral veganism” is somehow different (reducing animal products is very good for other reasons, yeah, but that’s not one of them) – unless you are explicitly fine with structures of hierarchy.
