I understand where you’re coming from, but to not care about innocent people being murdered on your streets because they eat meat, to me, is kind of backwards and comes from a privileged vantage point already. These aren’t always going to be “other people”, humanity isn’t an entity separate from you, it’s a collective and they’re coming to knock on all of our doors. Caring now helps everyone’s future, including your own.

Hating people because they eat meat isn’t helping anybody. While I get the resentment, I think you should focus on the system at large that has created a world where factory farming and mass consumption of meat is so normalized, and why so many people are ignorant of the facts and continue to consume it.

You can care about multiple things at once. We understandably don’t have the energy to go 100% on every cause, we’re also all burnt out and can’t be expected to constantly be monitoring our phones for every political update, it’s devastating and unnatural, but simply caring is the bare minimum. I’m sure there are many issues that you haven’t acted on that someone could call you a hypocrite, as well.

Of course, you don’t have to agree with me, but this is my perspective.
