Vegans are all well aware the philosophy is about reducing suffering for sentient beings. Nobody thinks "being alive" is an ethical metric. Rather, the bad faith argument about "plants feel pain" (which is absolute horse shit) is constantly spouted like it's some kind of refutation of veganism. Not to mention this idiotic "cultist" slur that's leveraged to make it seem like veganism isn't the single approach that's actually grounded in reality.
And if that means brigading and defending pieces of shit who rob other human beings of their hard-earned money and has stolen billions of dollars, giving bad faith arguments, deconstructing justice as a fundamental concept and in general being a bunch of fucking cultists, who cares. You'll happily accuse people who want to see people like him be punished, even in a court of law, of being subhuman savages while happily acting as if the ends justify the means to enforce your evil ideological bullshit. And who cares who is harmed by your words and actions? People don't matter, animals do.
Yeah, either that or it's unnecessary to kill animals for food and clothes and shit and we just don't do it. IDK what the hell you're on about.
