So you "don't care whatsoever" about fixing the problem you seem so passionate about and would rather winge about it. The rest of us are interested in solutions. You are soapboxing to primarily left leaning people here on Lemmy so I don't know who you are hoping to proselytize.

Plenty of gun owners are for common sense gun legislation, background checks, mandatory safety instruction, etc. If you want to enact change we need them on our side. What you are doing just creates division and slows any progress we make toward sanity. Mediate your rhetoric.

My first thought was they edited the Hue of Reds into Blues so this video doesn't get auto removed by gore filters.

Reports on the ground indicate Vance repeatedly yelled, "I'm going to be Hokage! Believe it!", while nearby couch enthusiasts cheered.

My non-negotiable medicines were developed while utilizing animals as test subjects. I own pets and I will not entertain the idea that needs to change. I'd rather avoid the confusion in naming and not debate what qualifies as vegan.

Mountains don't grow in a day. We don't feel the ground shifting under us.

I would argue the majority of people react to sharp critique by closing themselves off. I know plenty of people that started by reducing their meat intake to a few meals a week. That kind of conversion is the most likely to get results.

That sort of situation is the exception, not the rule.

We spend immense effort getting the world to listen and allow us to be identified by how We wish to be identified. To flip the script and say we get to determine how others are identified unapologetically does not parse.

Because idealistic posturing is for children and getting someone to eat less meat is more helpful than creating an atmosphere where vegans/vegetarians have to spend time apologizing for the loud minority.

As a lifetime vegetarian, please utilize that energy in a more useful way. Your cohort makes my life difficult.

That's the obvious motivation, my comment is to illustrate how the frustration could be relatable and to humanize everyone involved. For those people who don't value their freedoms the entire idea is just an inconvenience.
