    I wandered into a /c/vegancirclejerk post in my feed yesterday https://lemmy.world/post/15870764 That was fun and informative, in a way.

    They really, really don’t like you pointing out that they could just eat what they want and nobody would care, they just have to make it their public identity because they get off on being oppressed.

    Funniest bit is one of the mods got fussy and deleted all my comments and banned me- then the other mod removed them as mod. Hard to maintain solidarity in a group when its built entirely on the need to be oppressed. Eventually your own team becomes your oppressor.

      I’m confused, is this about vegans or meat eaters?

      Lol you do realise that people can just see the mod log and look at the bullshit comments of yours that got removed yeah?

        Yeah I almost posted a screenshot of them but figured that might be against the rules.

        But the removals got the mod removed so you have to wonder if my comments really deserved to be removed or if some prissy vegan mod just got triggered by some reasonable points I made about ‘circlejerking’ your dietary preferences they just didn’t want to hear.

            Then you should probably go fuss at that other mod for removing the guy that removed them. Or maybe you’re a lot like the mod that got removed. Makes you think… well- it might if you weren’t too angry at an internet stranger to be very self-aware right now.

    You can shitpost about anything, but not their sacred right to eat industrial meat.

    Good job op.

      What I’ve been finding so far about lemmy is that if I post something vegan that puts all the blame on corporations, the upvotes come rolling in. But anything else is either closer to a 1:1 ratio, or downvote abyss.

      lol this “us vs them” mentality is what keeps the meat industry strong. If Vegan’s weren’t insufferable the entire meat industry would’ve died in ‘07.

      There is a vegan keto, and at least one study has found it to not have the same harms that other variants of keto has. The problem there is that it’s an extremely restrictive diet, so good luck to anyone trying to stick to that.

      Aside from the one legitimate use it has - alleviating seizure symptoms - keto is just plain a diet that makes no sense for humans whatsoever.

        Lol, they’re so rare you have to make a list of vegan athletes. This is a prime example of the exception proving the rule.

          It’s a sample size issue. What percentage of people make the effort to get swole? It’s maybe (maybe not) a similar figure to how many vegans bother to get strong. Now what percentage of all people are vegan? Estimates range from 1% to 10%, with 3-5% being probably the most reasonable estimate.

          But you’re the one making the claim without backing it up. Vegans can get all the protein they need, even when strength training. And the best part is we do it without the heart disease, cancer risk, and autoimmune diseases.
