I agree with almost everything you’ve said, but God I wish there was a way vegans could come across as anything other than preachy and annoying.
If you agree with almost everything, would it be worthwhile to find a wording which preserves the good content while ditching the bad form?
I also wonder how much of the annoying part is the speaker, and how much of it is the reluctance of listeners to question themselves.
You’re on fire in this thread, you make me wish I could subscribe to a user on Lemmy.

It’s tough changing minds in general, especially when the topic entails labeling your past and likely present self a serial animal abuser. Something most vegans went through already and had to overcome.
