Do you know why no one takes you seriously? It's because you lie and exaggerate and over dramatize in order to try to bully everyone into doing what you want. Extremists, ALL extremists, are the same. You all think that you're somehow superior to the people you don't agree with and that that superiority justifies anything that you do or say to them in order to bully them into compliance with your extremist beliefs. This pathological self-absolution is the hallmark of all extremists: vegan extremists, religious extremists, racial extremists, anti-choise extremists, anti-LGBTQ extremists...you're all the same and everyone can see that.

The thing that you don't understand is that I (and the vast majority of people) don't give the first fuck what a self-absolving extremist with a pathologically misguided sense of absolute moral supremacy thinks.

You're not here for a conversation. You're here for ragesturbation. You people get off on rage. Sorry...I'm laughing at you, not raging.

EDIT: An vegan extremist apologist takes a run at me down in this thread. They misquote, misrepresent, hurl childish insults, and use an ineffective series of strawman arguments. They're not trying to have a conversation. They had no intention of having a conversation. They're trying to bully me into being quiet. It didn't work. Take time to read the thread. It's good for a laugh.

Not OP. I think it's funny how you're accusing them of "bullying" when their comments aren't aggressive at all, just pointing out a practice they disagree with. But somehow your multi-paragraph, ~~raging~~, sorry, uh... "laughing" comment filled with direct insults and patronizing dismissal, should NOT be considered "bullying."

Like, I don't buy into the idea that anyone can bully someone else in an anonymous Internet forum, outside of doxxing or repeated harassment. But looking at this, one of you is clearly much more aggressive and bothered than the other here.

Using exaggerated, inaccurate, and sexually violent language, "fisting up to the elbow", and accusing anyone who doesn't agree with them of supporting the exaggeration IS bullying.  It's attempting to bludgeon anyone who doesn't agree with their self-absolving moral superiority into submission.

It's laughable.

You compared religious extremists to vegans. YOU are laughable.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I compared one type of extremist to other types of extremists. They are the same in that they all have a pathological belief that they are superior and that the self-absolution that comes with that pathological belief justified anything they do to people they feel are inferior.

The pathology and wrong thought are the same.

[–] Sizzler@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

One is imaginary, the other has scientific fact. No similarities there, and the rest is you imagining how people think.

Get help with your hateful delusions.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

To be honest, I'm not sure which group of extremists you are an apologist for.

I mean, we all know that there are religious extremists so I assume you're trying to deny the existence of vegan extremists who harass and attempt to intimidate business owners into complying with their demands and harass and intimidate their patrons.

An extremist is an extremist. They all believed that they are superior and they all believe that that superiority justifies anything that they do to people who don't agree with them.

Same same.

Soo, you're a meat eating extremist then? You're here arguing for it? Same same.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Point to where I argued for eating meat. Go ahead and quote where I said anything about eating meat either way.

I didn't state a position either way. All I said was that all extremists are the same. They all have the same thought pathology.

[–] Sizzler@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

"All extremists are the same" another extreme view. You know you are arguing for meat by calling people who don't eat meat extremists.

Also quick reminder what thread we are in. It's not a good look for you chicken fuckers.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Point to where I said that people who don't eat meat are extremists. Point to anywhere in this thread where I said anything at all about everyday run of the mill vegans. Anywhere?

No?

I have been very clear about the fact that I'm talking about vegan EXTREMISTS, religious EXTREMISTS, racial EXTREMISTS, etc. They all suffer the same pathological wrong thought that they are morally or racially or religiously or nationally or sexually or ethnically superior which excuses anything that they do to anyone who they see as inferior.

Vegan extremists harass and attempt to intimidate business owners into complying with their demands. They harassed and intimidate their customers to try to drive them away and force them to comply and to harm the businesses. They harass farmers. They ragesturbate in discussion forums to try to harass people into doing as they say. They then self-absolve by convincing themselves that their crusade is righteous and anything that they do or say is justified.

They are wrong.

[–] Sizzler@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

So you agree that the meat industry is extremist and needs to be stopped. They employ children and destroy their employees with ptsd along with all the animal cruelty?

It's almost like you are completely one sided in your beliefs. If only there was a word for that.

As for their actions, you know how you feel about people who kick puppies and torture cats. That's how vegans feel about your actions. That's how low they do think of you.

They are not wrong

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If you've got nothing but strawmen (this is your third in a row) and childish insults then I guess we're done here.

[–] Sizzler@slrpnk.net 1 points 6 months ago

We had nothing to begin with other than you ranting and comparing vegans to people who blow themselves up. It was a daft conversation.
