I'm sorry you went through that. It shapes us to have thicker skin, but it can also lead to bad outcomes depending on the friends and family involved.

Ed Winters talked about this on his channel recently. One of the biggest reasons people don't go vegan, and one of the biggest reasons pushing people away from the movement is the social dimension: living with people and still holding them as on your side when they very clearly violate your moral code. It's one of the hardest burdens of vegans, as I'm sure it can be for other minorities. Again, I'm not equating vegans to a minority group like LGBTQ or POC. The animals are the minority group. But when you have discrimination and sometimes segregation for specific groups in society, you can start to draw parallels.

Good luck with your vegan life from a fellow vegan 🤙

I'm sorry you're running into such a degree of outright opposition. I never have understood that part, why someone that loves you would be persistent and nigh aggressive about something that's essentially not their business.

Somebody wants to make a change, move towards something they feel is better, you support that, even if you need to draw your own boundaries about it.

That would be exhausting to deal with for anyone, the opposition.

I kinda get where the mod is at, the way you describe the fatigue. I think it's better to step aside once your at that point, refresh yourself, maybe make a decision about that being a permanent break from trying to herd cats online or not. I've had to do the a few times over the years.
