    I’ve been a vegan for 17 years and I can tell you one thing Americans don’t give a shit. They well not eat less meat. They don’t give a fuck that they are killing the planet and they sure as fuck don’t want you to tell them that. I’ve traveled over seas quite a bit and I see people from other countries seem genuinely interested in veganism but Americans don’t give a fuck and give even less of a fuck when you tell them you’re a vegan.

      @blindbunny @inasaba they’re indeed driving global warming to the extreme with their cattle ranches and ignorance. They have a lack of education since primary school, most of them have no idea what evolution is, much less would they know what carbon emissions are!

      ps. America is not a country but a Continent. It might be ok to call it like that within its limits, but we’re in an international platform here, so please…

      I’ve got you even better. For the past 15 years I haven’t used a car to commute, and man do vegans NOT like the fact that their aesthetic lifestyle choice is meaningless compared to reliance on fossil fuels. Other countries have policies that genuinely reduce car culture, but holy fuck as soon as you suggest not living in the suburbs, vegans are up in arms about how America is just too big for such a thing to be possible.
