Vegans take things too far

Because most people are still grappling with their people feelings - humans who are different- there’s no room left to consider our kinship with other species. For most people it hardly bears thinking about (to be considering animals as if they mattered). If we didn’t rate one species (our own) as better than others we’d be little more than animals ourselves. We are only able to feel separate, superior and special because we confirm it every day by eating animals. If we thought any differently we’d choke on every mouthful of meat we ate. This is why veganism is potentially such a danger to society and why conventional egalitarianism isn’t quite convincing because it stops short at animals - we can be friendly to the dark skinned neighbours next door, but being nice to cattle and pigs … steady on! That’s taking things too far. We prefer to eat what we want and take egalité with a pinch of salt. We prefer to make life as comfortable as possible for ourselves and only then determine how much extra consideration we have to spare for others. But certainly, we’d much prefer it if people like vegans were kept quiet (or forcibly quietened!). To that end, vegans need to be portrayed as uncool, weird or as extremists.
