*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)

You literally asked if they were that bad at logic while offering no actual refute to what they had to say. But whatever, have a nice day

“Those are not at all equivalent” IS a refutation.

It’s not my job to spoonfeed bigots about exactly how my dietary (lack of) choices is different from hating trans and black people while sponsoring fascism 🙄

If your diet includes meat, you are most likely causing the death of an animal. If you believe that killing animals is wrong, then it follows that eating meat is also wrong. As to what is more wrong versus what is less wrong, that varies from culture to culture and age to age. Perhaps they believe that killing an animal is almost as bad as killing a human. Their argument is sound; it is just based on different axioms than yours.

No. Their argument is based on applying their subjective beliefs that I don’t share to my actions and as such by definition not sound.

It’s a 1:1 equivalent of anti choice people calling abortion murder.
