You can't pretend to know who I am and what I advocate for. I am ending this conversation now because it isn't from a place of understanding. It's coming off as angry.

I know exactly who you are. You are the lived experience of many vegans of the person that pretends to know more than us, as if every single person who went vegan didn't have a deep personal conflict with themselves before deciding to align their morality with their lifestyle. You know very little, yet try to advocate against us on our own perceived behalf, using your own sister like some sort of "I have a (insert group here) so I definitely know things". I don't need to understand you because I was you. The difference is that at some point, I was willing to acknowledge I didn't know enough about the moral vacancy of the situation and decided to learn more. The more I learned, the more I grew disgusted with our systemic murder of sentient life and how we didn't need this destructive mechanism to survive in any way, shape, or form.

I'm not advocating against you. I flat out don't agree with you and you are too close minded to think that someone has the same information as you and makes a different choice. You are no better. You aren't more ethical. You just pick on the people that don't agree with you to feel superior because you can't find it any other way. You're a sad person that can't hear when someone says "hey I get it" and not keep pressing on.

And the most pathetic and arrogant part about it is that you have the tenacity to state you know me from one conversation with one topic on the Internet. So close minded to not think a person has more meutia than a single topic. People are complex. You should open your intellect and think that someone can see differently.

Exploiting and murdering animals is unethical full stop.

You are so forceful it's so badass. Even though you are wrong.
