Well... Raping is wrong, right? Say there is this guy, he doesn't always rape, just sometimes when he's in the mood. But not always. Should we applaud this flexi-rapist for doing something aweful a little less?
...my wife eats meat: you know what she eats a heck of a lot less of since moving in with me?..you know what she'd've eaten a heck of a lot more of if i weren't tolerant?..
...don't make perfect the enemy of good; you'll do a heck of a lot less good and be surprised when you learn that your perfect isn't...
I'm vegan a long time now, sometimes I lose my patience because it feels like I'm talking to 8 year olds all the time. Carnism ia real, the fragile meat-egos, the bullshit bingo, the same lame arguments make me loose my patience sometimes. But obviously you have a point.
In my note app I've saved my old replies I'm fairly confident of regarding research, impact and links to sources and fire them up against the standard arguments. It's cheap but it would be madness to answer the age old cliches popping up in mass under a controversional vegan post with individual new answers. The definition of Sisyphus work. I refine the posts to take deviations from standard arguments into account. I don't spam them in a thread of full of the same cliche answers but tactically under one of them with a lot of upvotes/likes. This saves me some headaches and at least I know I countered the disinformation at least once and will maybe make some people see that the most regurgitated answers are not per se the most correct just because of their prevalence.
Damn, I am still sisyphussing!
