I love all my vegan brothers and sisters, but we need to break through this complacency. Being vegan is not enough. Boycotting is not enough. Not taking part in the mass-murder of innocent beings is incredibly important, of course, but it is merely the moral minimum.
Far too much time and effort is dedicated to not rocking the boat with meat-eaters.

Trying to avoid upsetting someone who quite frankly, is ritualistically murdering and consuming innocent beings three times a day. It doesn't matter if they're your best friend, or your parent, or your sibling. They are still responsible for exploitation, enslavement, rape, torture, commodification, and murder. We need to do away with our overflowing sympathy for the perpetrators, and redirect it to the ACTUAL VICTIMS.

I understand it's a complex undertaking, and that we need to also create a welcoming world for vegans, as to incentivize others to become vegan. But too often it seems that we're losing sight of what's actually important, and we've made it about making OUR lives easier in a carnist world.
TRILLIONS OF INNOCENT LIVES ARE AWAITING SLAUGHTER AS YOU READ THESE WORDS..... we all have a moral obligation to set our social comfort aside, and go out of our way to spread the truth of what meat-eaters are actually doing. If that means an uncomfortable exchange with friends or family, then so be it. Compare that temporary discomfort with the life of torture and suffering the animals will endure if we don't say anything.

I fully believe that 99.9% of people are decent at heart, and only take part in this evil because the life-long conditioning is very strong, and they are just ignorant. We need to have more confidence in our stance. We need to speak up at EVERY opportunity, we need to break through this normalization of murder. And where we are vastly outnumbered, we need to speak LOUDLY.

Because it's not about OUR social comfort, it's about the TRILLIONS of innocent lives that will be lost if we don't speak up.
It's quite literally life or death, and time is a factor.. we need to fight for those who can't fight for themselves... we need to be their voice, and we need to speak loudly. We need to speak now..... It's not about US.... It's about the animals.
