Also when they add extraneous hyperbole to invalidate themselves.

No, there's nothing sweet or savory about rotting meat, but it isn't rotting, now is it?People that eat meat do not eat rotting carcasses (RFK aside) the same way vegans don't eat rotten vegetables.

Yeah I'm basically in the same boat. I call myself a half assed vegetarian - I don't typically buy meat for myself but if I go somewhere and meat's already been ordered I won't make a big fuss. I think meat is bad for the environment and cruel to the animals, and want people to care more about that, but it's an emotional issue that needs to be handled as such.

It is annoying that some people are so emotionally invested in meat that it's a hot button triggering topic, but that's how it is.

Some left wing people will call the USA like "burgerland" or "ameriKKKa" and I'm just like that's not going to win any converts. People who aren't already firmly in your camp are going to stop listening.

if you're very passionate about something it's easy to use strong words, and i think while it's annoying to me it's generally acceptable if used like this. I can't personally develop any strong feelings about vegetarianism or veganism, but I've had my passionate political moments in my life (and still do sometimes) and I guess it's kind of respect worthy, at least when I myself can see the logic of the argument or even agree to an extent.

Used to be I would get pretty frenzied when confronted with what I could fathom about capitalism, so I can empathize.
