    They’re still paying for the system, that’s still complicity in the murder of sentient beings.

      Ever bought literally ANYTHING that is made in China, Bangladesh, India etc.? Oh what a monster of human being you are as you are clearly supporting child labor, slavery, horrible working conditions and destroying the environment with harmful chemistries!

      Ever drove a car? Down to hell with you and the fossil fuel that’s running through your veins!

      Eating vegetables or fruit? Maybe even from non-ecological agriculture? So you obviously enjoy deforestation of the rain forest and poisoning all these innocent insects and birds!

      I could continue that list like forever but I think you know where I’m going.

        Veganism is not about being perfect but about reducing harm as much as possible.

        I support better labour practices and public transit and active transport.

        We need to report on the flaws of plant agriculture.

          I think we agree that veganism is not the only aspect of morally superior behavior.

          And I’m 100% sure that we can reach more people by including rather than shaming them. Bring vegan cake or cook for your coworkers. Show them that there’s more than just bread and water. Invite them to a vegan restaurant. If someone tells you that they’re trying to reduce meat in their diet, praise them for their efforts rather than reminding them that they’re still causing harm drinking milk.

          Positive affirmation is such a powerful tool whereas blaming is mostly divisive and increasing defensive behavior.
