In our collective awareness there’s a lot going on in the world. Is it any wonder, in the present embrace of issues, that some of the most uncomfortable issues are pushed aside? “No time to deal with everything” … and that’s where it solidifies. There’s no time for contemplating mystery or imagining New Age ideals. It’s safer to stick with old habits and submit to the persuasions of the 1%’ers. We don’t allow time for constructing new habits and new attitudes. And as for listening to vegans … get real!!
We animal advocates are supremely ignorable. What we say doesn’t cut it, whereas conventional attitudes seem, in comparison, to sit more comfortably with people. The world of plenty, promoted by the animal industries, is attractive. The guys who run things there seem like admirable people. From them there’s no finger wagging and they seem to have a certain sense of fun and gay abandon.
It’s therefore not surprising that veganism is dismissable. We are disliked for our high moral tone. Other urgent issues will always trump animal concerns. Omnivores are happy to use a few ‘naughty products’ and believe that otherwise things are fairly okay.
However, for the thinking person this sort of acceptance of how things are doesn’t wash - it comes down to something more serious, concerning one’s brainwash-ability.
