#a person living in a society completely analike that in every way

[fondwand]

every day I stop myself from actually sharing my full frustration with the weird dissonant self righteous pervasive culture on this website of meat eaters who don't want to feel guilty about eating meat twisting themselves up in knots to paint non-meat or animal product eaters as *checks notes* racist? secret animal haters who don't see the benefit to animals that is eating them (actual take I've seen)? some other bullshit? like it's more annoying to me that you're so set on not feeling any responsibility or guilt over your own decisions that you set out to demonise people who choose to not eat animals or who share their opinions on not eating animals by co-opting and transplanting a moral outrage you use only when it suits you, to regain some imaginary high ground which gives you the ease and comfort to continue eating meat which you've decided has been stolen from you by other people not eating it, RATHER THAN JUST EATING MEAT AND SHUTTING THE FUCK UP.

like. how is it that I've had so many people I've followed over the years just one day either make or reblog the most batshit unexamined take on meat consumption, radiating the smug aura of zero self reflection, when their posts seem otherwise completely normal? it's exhausting.

I don't care if you want to eat meat, I'm nobodies moral arbiter, but why do the same flimsy, hypocritical takes get paraded around like iron shields?

okay. so today I didn't stop myself....
