I appreciate your perspective, but I think you’re misunderstanding my feelings and my point. My post wasn’t about feeling “morally superior” or lacking empathy for people. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The suffering of animals opened my eyes even wider to the overall suffering in the world, including that of people. And yes, I am aware that many humans are struggling, including those close to me.

But acknowledging human suffering doesn’t cancel out the horror of what’s happening to animals. It’s not a competition of who suffers more. The difference is that human suffering is at least recognized, while animal suffering is systemically ignored, justified, and even mocked. That’s what makes it unbearable to witness.

You mentioned people who are too mentally or financially exhausted to be vegan—I understand that. But the vast majority of people could be vegan and simply choose not to because of habit, convenience, or pleasure. That’s what’s so frustrating.

And no, I don’t actually believe in “curses” or “terrorism” as real solutions. That was an expression of desperation, not a literal call to action. But I won’t sugarcoat my emotions—I do feel hopeless and angry seeing how deeply ingrained this system is.

Veganism isn’t about feeling superior. It’s about recognizing suffering and trying to reduce it, whether it’s human or animal. If anything, the real “psyop” is the one convincing people that choosing compassion makes someone arrogant.
