Out of interest, not aggro

Aggressive vegans do neither themselves nor the Animal Rights Movement any favours, by rubbing their opinion in people’s faces. It’s not necessary anyway. People know more than we think. They realise the compromises they make by eating the food they eat. Most get irritated by being lectured by people masquerading as authorities.
Vegans often adopt an authoritativeness in their voice to be more persuasive. It happens when arguments stop being logical and start getting emotional. For example, most unprepared arguments rely on slogans and are usually not original. They’re therefore predictable.
The more unpredictable we are, the better we come across. We should be half entertaining and half interesting to keep the listener on the edge of their seat, guessing at what’s coming next or where we’re coming from, until they let us have our say . Then they can assess what type of vegan we are.
Presentation counts for a lot - we need a calm exterior (a quietening-down quality) and a tone of voice that’s not shrill. Once an omnivore is no longer afraid of our potential violence towards them they’ll start to reveal themselves And then that puts us in the best position to assess them - discover what interests them.
If it were me listening to you, talking about animal rights, veganism, liberation, etc, I’d be waiting for the barb. But that aside, I also would be dreading an ego performance. I wouldn’t want you to be revealing all your feelings like laundry flapping in the wind. What you show could be true but these days it’s likely not to be, so meeting a paradigm of virtue. Instead of you telling me about virtuous diets and vituous conscience, I’d rather, first up, discover YOU. I’d be wanting to get to know if you’re a scheister or not, and if not then maybe I’ll listen to what you have to say, out of interest.
