good job feeding the trolls OP and everyone @ing them. definitely won’t make them feel vindicated in their presence here. definitely not 🙄

just animate it in your head

future perfect perfect, say

You experience is certainly valid but for those interested there are at least 13 Methodist denominations in the North America alone, several of which exist because they participate in more progressive leadership :)

more like based methodist church

i think this is one interpretation that makes sense :) i do this with my bros, on the weekends

it’s best not to to read too much into things when it comes to images of people wearing tees i find

usually the items in an image macro are just symbols with memetic value only; i’m trying not to assume things :)

i can’t see their faces so i can’t tell for sure

already done, don’t go risking your life quite yet

i feel like any place that would kill me without some serious life support systems going on is automatically somewhere B or below

maybe that’s controversial but that’s just my personal take 🙃

this joke is funny here but it gets really sad when twitter and everyone repeats the same “original” knee slapper when this stat continues to be true, month after month after month 😒

100% of S tier places are located on that planet, seems fair to me

how hungry

There are individuals that do attack moderates, just like there were individuals in the civil rights movement who literally physically assaulted white moderates

Yeah, precisely. Put simply my goal is to call out the fact that these individuals are having an outsized influence on Lemmy. I have no criticism of vegan leadership as a whole. I just hope we can continue to call out the toxicity that is present on Lemmy until a more constructive and representative-of-the-whole community exists on here. 💙

yeah, this is why i need a fediverse version of tiktok/reels.

i think we can be quite kinder versions of ourselves when we have the constant reminder there is a living breathing person on the other side of the username :)

I can absolutely defend and relate to being angry :) I can absolutely defend being a “mean vegan.” I can absolutely defend being disruptive and proselytizing and refusing to live and let live.

I cannot defend verbal harrassment. That’s not “being mean,” that’s using your position as a vegan as a token to do emotional abuse.

ew no not at all what i am saying

Holy shit you did not just quote MLK at me saying people who eat cheese should not be harrassed!

That is a disturbing twisting of both veganism and MLK. :(

Once again I participate with so many vegan individuals in ways that do not involve harrassment campaigns. Here is a list of direct action that I consider constructive:

• animal rescue
• investigations of animal abuse
• leafleting
• inline education campaigns
• protests and marches
• restaurant sit-ins
• graffiti
• civil disobedience
• many more

Again I cannot believe I am saying this, but there is no credible evidence that MLK participated in harrassment against individuals admitting minor disagreement. Attacking a person who admits to eating cheese, like maybe 60% of the world population, accusing them of being a rapist constantly and repeatedly, and calling that “advocacy for positive peace,” is really really fucking sad. It is absolutely terrifyingly in bad faith to quote MLK in defense of such behavior.
